Activator SLOTOCLEAN DECASEL 5

Activator SLOTOCLEAN DECASEL 5 is an aqueous solution designed for neutralization following alkaline pre-treatment and activation of steel, copper, copper alloys, zinc die-casts, and aluminum.

It serves as a replacement for traditional sulfuric or hydrochloric acid dips. The treatment time depends on the solution's concentration and temperature. The solution's effectiveness can be enhanced using either anodic or cathodic polarity.

Key Features:

  • No Wetting Agents: Activator SLOTOCLEAN DECASEL 5 does not contain wetting agents or surfactants.

  • Nickel Activation: Ideal for activating passivated nickel layers. When used for nickel activation, cathodic operation ensures excellent chrome plating and allows for re-nickel plating without adhesion issues.

  • Reworking Defective Surfaces: Recommended for reworking defective nickel surfaces that have been mechanically treated, ground, or polished.

  • Counter Electrode: Graphite is recommended for the counter electrode, though nickel anodes can be used (with the understanding that nickel will dissolve electrolytically).

  • Environmentally Friendly: Activator SLOTOCLEAN DECASEL 5 is free from alkylphenolethoxylate and AOX .
