Optinox B 100

Welding and Surface Cleaning Liquid

OPTINOX B 100 removes all types of oxidation, pitting, heavy rust, and weld stains on stainless steel, and passivates the surface.
By specifically strengthening it with CNF, base metal loss is minimized. It does not damage or yellow the surface. It imparts a permanent, uniform silver color to the surface. By passivating the surface, it prevents future rust and pitting.
The surface of stainless steel materials is protected against corrosion, pitting, and rusting by a thin, naturally occurring passive layer rich in chromium oxide under suitable conditions. This passive layer forms only on clean surfaces containing sufficient chromium in the alloy and in environments containing sufficient oxygen.
The resulting passive chromium oxide layer is self-repairing under normal conditions, even if the surface is subjected to mechanical damage.
Heat and mechanical processes such as welding, cutting, drilling, cutting, bending, drawing, and shaping damage this layer. To recreate the passive layer, surface weld stains and contamination must be completely removed using chemical methods. OPTINOX B series pickling products create the passive layer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
OPTINOX B 100 is a fluid liquid and should not be applied to the surface. Heavy oil on the material should be removed with a suitable chemical. OPTINOX B 100 is added to the parts placed in an acid-resistant plastic container. Depending on the contamination, material type, and ambient temperature, it can be diluted 1:1 with water.

It is recommended to mix the bath and apply it in well-ventilated areas. Parts removed from the bath should be rinsed with clean, pressurized water.
