Quality products for pickling a wide range of metals

Pickling metal is a necessary process for thoroughly cleaning metal surfaces or preparing them for other work steps. The chemical process of pickling is used to remove oxidation, remove applied metal layers or create an oxidation-free surface.

Emil Otto pickling products are used in modern production processes and a wide range of applications. For example, burn-off in the production of cold-rolled steel strips can be removed with pickling agents from Emil Otto. The pickling agents also help to remove interfering oxide layers in preparation for durable and stable joints when processing aluminum parts. In addition, stainless steel pickles are used to optimize surfaces in the treatment of stainless and acid-resistant stainless steel after heat treatment.

Our pickling products are specially developed to meet the highest demands. They enable effective metal treatment, for example for copper. Here, pickling is indispensable both as protection and as a preparatory step for subsequent processing. For metals such as iron and steel, pickling is used for optimum surface preparation. Stainless and acid-resistant stainless steels require thorough cleaning after thermal processes such as welding or annealing in order to achieve a flawless surface. We offer specially formulated pickling agents for aluminum processing. The specific pickling agents for aluminum improve the adhesion of coatings or joints and guarantee a clean, oxide-free surface.

We offer a black stain for darker shades. The black stain can be used to create a decorative and protective layer on various materials.
