TARGET AL62 is a 100% active alkaline etchant containing chelating agents and an inhibitive grain refining agent. A stable low foaming surfactant is also incorporated to form a foam blanket to minimise spray from the gassing action. TARGET AL62 produces a uniform satin etch on aluminium alloys to give a variety of decorative finishes which can be readily controlled to a given standard by varying the temperature and/or concentration. The combination of chelating agents used prevents the conversion of sodium aluminate into insoluble aluminium oxide, commonly referred to as scale or sludge. This complexing of the dissolved aluminium, even under extreme conditions, will only produce a very fine, non-adherent precipitate which can be easily hosed away from heating coils and tank sides.

Etch Additive LG is a highly concentrated additive with a correct blend of sequestering agents that significantly reduce the risk of sludge formation in the etch tank. If properly maintained the etch tank can be run as a never dump system. Irritating caustic fumes are reduced dramatically with the fume suppressing ability of the Etch Additive LG.
Aluminium Etch Additive AE2 is a chlorate free additive to provide a long-term stable etch with reduced sludge formation. The etch can be run as a continuous basis without dumping if properly maintained. The etch gives excellent results on extrusions removing die lines and extrusion blemishes.
