Packaging units:
Tins 100, 250, 500, 1000g
Application area: COLD BURNISHING - BLACKENING of iron, steel, zinc, tin, lead
Application: The ready-to-use gel has been developed for precise direct dosing.
Degreasing and inserting the parts: Thorough degreasing of the parts is a prerequisite for uniform blackening.
Blackening effect: Depending on the material, blackening occurs relatively quickly (approx. 5 - 30 sec. after application). Longer exposure times are possible, but should be determined by preliminary tests so that the workpiece to be treated is not damaged. Afterwards the spots or parts are cleaned with sufficient water and rubbed well dry with a clean cloth (rag).

NEUTRASOL post-treatment:

After removal of the loose oxides, which should be done expediently in a neutralisation bath with the product NEUTRASOL Concentrate (EO Cat. No. 0875), the workpiece should be dried and preserved.

Neutralization bath:

Normal tap water with our NEUTRASOL can be used to prepare the bath. The pH value must be checked constantly and should not fall below pH-10, otherwise the workpieces may start to corrode.

Preservation:

EO post-treatment fluid (EO Cat. No.: 0871) is a temporarily effective, preserving metal protection for application after use of NIGRIT GEL “K”. Corrosion phenomena are always undesirable, therefore the metal surface should be treated briefly with this fluid after each application (recommendation: “thin application”). The water-displacing additives reliably prevent contact between the metal surface and remaining moisture.
