A powdered chemical which when dissolved in dilute nitric or sulphuric acids produces a solution, which removes oxides and smut from aluminium and aluminium alloy surfaces. Normally used by dip, it gives a lightly etched and clean surface that can be Alocrom treated, spot-welded, bonded with adhesives or is ready for anodising or painting processes. T Deoxidiser 1 is the standard product but others are available, for instance, to meet aircraft industry specifications. Its use conforms to DEF STAN 03 - 2/3 Method 0 for Painting and to BAE Airbus ABP 8-1296 and ABP 8-3304.

A strongly acidic, liquid product which, when diluted with water, will remove oxides and smut from aluminium and aluminium alloy surfaces. It is used by dip at ambient temperatures as a rapid preparation for aluminium extrusions, etc. prior to chromate or chromium phosphate Alocrom treatments, anodising or other finishing processes.

A strongly acidic, liquid product which, when diluted with water, will remove oxides and smut that sometimes occur on aluminium and aluminium alloy surfaces after strong alkaline etching. It is used by dip at ambient temperatures as a treatment for aluminium, particularly extrusions, prior to anodising systems.

T Deoxidiser 7 Make Up is a powdered chemical which when dissolved in dilute nitric or Sulphuric acid produces a solution which removes oxides and smut from aluminium and aluminium alloy surfaces. Normally used by dip, it gives a lightly etched and clean surface which can be Alocrom treated, spot-welded, bonded with adhesives or is ready for anodising or painting processes. Replenished with powdered T Deoxidiser 7/17, the bath prevents the deposition of copper on the aluminium and this results in Alocrom coatings with maximum corrosion resistance. This product is widely specified by the major aircraft manufacturers including Boeing BAC 5765 and Airbus 8-1296.
