Workshop capability
Chemical Tanks
Degreasing, HCl pickling, and phosphate pretreatment for reliable powder adhesion.
Our chemical tanks carry out the pretreatment stages required before powder coating. Proper chemical cleaning removes oil, rust, and surface contaminants, and the phosphate coat provides a key for the powder to bond to.
Discuss this capability →Why it matters
A practical capability for the finished part.
Powder coating will not bond properly to dirty, oily, or rusty metal. The chemical pretreatment line — degreasing, acid pickling, and phosphating — is what makes the difference between a coating that lasts and one that peels or lifts.
What this capability includes
Degreasing stage
HCl pickling for rust removal
Phosphate coating for adhesion
Suitable for MS, SS, and aluminium
Typical applications
Where we use it
Pretreatment for powder coating
Rust and scale removal
Surface preparation for paint
Corrosion-resistant base coat
Workshop workflow
01
Degrease
The part is submerged in a degreasing tank to remove cutting oils, fingerprints, and surface contaminants.
02
HCl pickling
The part moves to the acid tank where rust, mill scale, and oxidation are removed from the metal surface.
03
Phosphate coat
A thin phosphate layer is applied to the cleaned surface, providing a key for powder adhesion and additional corrosion resistance.
