Products That Accelerate

These products are pickling accelerators which do not rely on a wetting system to provide acceleration. They turn on when there is soluble oxide to be pickled and turn off when that oxide is removed!

WIM Naxid additives are the third generation of accelerating additives that combine several controlled depolarizers into one product for faster scale removal that improves acid consumptions, saving energy while improving production. Pickled surfaces are up to 33% brighter. They are used in combination with WIM inhibiting additives and WIM combination additives for full control over the pickling process.Read more.
