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.

A strongly acidic, liquid chemical which when diluted with water will remove oil and rust from mild steel. Used mainly by brush but can be dipped at ambient temperature; it is particularly useful to clean large items or by prolonged immersion to salvage heavily corroded work. Its use conforms to BS 7773 (1995) 3.6 Method F3.

A strongly acidic liquid product which when diluted with water will remove rust and scale from iron and steel. Used by dip, it normally precedes protective pretreatments and is suitable for use on steels to DEF STAN 03-2/3 Method F3 and BS 7773 (1995) 3.16 Method F.3 and BAE Airbus ABP 1-5056 (as Deoxidine 49).

A strongly acidic liquid product which when diluted with water will remove rust and scale from iron and steel. Used by dip, it normally precedes protective pretreatments and is suitable for use on steels to DEF STAN 03-2/3 Method F3 and BS 7773 (1995) 3.16 Method F.3 and BAE Airbus ABP 1-5056 (as Deoxidine 49).

A strongly acidic liquid product which when diluted with warm water will quickly remove plant scale and is particularly effective in hard water areas. Its use conforms to DEF STAN 03 - 2/4 Method F.2 and BS 7773 (1995) 3.6.F.2. It will also remove the black mill scale from hot rolled steel.

A strongly acidic liquid product which when diluted with warm water will quickly remove rust and, particularly, heat scale from iron and steel. Used by dip prior to phosphating it conforms to DEF STAN 03-2/3 Method F.4 and BS 7773 (1995) 3.6.F.1. It is also suitable for the in-situ cleaning of built up scale from dip and spray pretreatment plant.
