Products at all stages
We work with chemicals for the following stages of the stainless steel treatment process.
Services
We also offer you the following services.
Degreasing
Thorough cleaning of the surface to optimize the following stages and to guarantee a perfect finish. Of two types: ACID or ALKALINE. Each option offers specific benefits that have to be taken as an advantage in each installation. The specific products we offer for the degreasing process are:
- BD Galvanet: Acid degreasingagent
Pickling
Steel is pickled to remove impurities, rust, and swarf. However, during this stage, the bare iron is also targeted.
The inhibitor protects the clean metal during the treatment in the pickling bath with hydrochloric and/or sulphuric acid. There is less iron dissolved in the acid, which reduces the acid use and prevents hydrogen fragility. Below you have a list of the solutions we can offer you for the pickling process:
Raw Materials:
Hydrochloric Acid
Sulphuric acid
Phosphoric Acid
Flux
The purpose of the Flux process is to activate the surface of the steel to ensure that the hot zinc is properly deposited and to prevent the formation of unwanted layers of rust that could lead to the incorrect adhesion of the zinc to the metal base. The products we offer for these process include:
- Zinc chloride
- Ammonium Chloride
- Oxygenated water
- Ammonia
Passivation
Passivation is a conversion chemical treatment for recently galvanized steel surfaces. It creates a transparent or barely-visible layer that provides enhanced corrosion resistance to galvanized steel surfaces.
Durante los procesos de decapado, galvanizado en caliente y zincado se genera cloruro ferroso. Este residuo debe ser tratado por empresas especializadas y además puede ser valorizado y reutilizado en otros procesos industriales. Barcelonesa es gestor autorizado de residuos E-1262.11 para realizar la valorización de productos químicos y además somos centro de transferencia. Podemos recoger y gestionar el ácido agotado del galvanizado de sus instalaciones. Contamos con una empresa de transporte propia, autorizada para transportar residuos T-3363.
El proceso de galvanizado en caliente se realiza por inmersión del acero en un crisol con zinc fundido a 450 grados centígrados. En este proceso se forman en la superficie del acero capas de aleaciones de hierro/zinc y una capa gruesa de zinc que permiten una protección contra la corrosión del acero durante muchos años.
