Get Safety Data Sheet Acid Etch Cleaner (1302) - Mega Electronics

Acid etching being used conventionally has certain disadvantages such as localized enamel decalcification and fracture of enamel.

Hydrochloric acid is commonly used to etch copper, and it also works well on stainless steel. It must be handled carefully otherwise surface damage such as pitting can occur to the surface of the stainless steel. Copper sulfate is used to etch mild steels rather than stainless steel.

To “etch” is to model or eat out by acid action; it is essentially the surface modeling involved in corrosion (as by an artist or printer in acid-etching a metal plate or fine-grained CaCO3 stone, such as the Jurassic Solenhofen Limestone).

Precautionary statements: P234 - Keep only in original container. P264 - Wash hands and forearms thoroughly after handling. P280 - Wear eye protection, protective gloves.

However, the element does not make the steel completely stain or rust resistant. That being said, this material is durable with a long shelf-life that can be abrasion-free for years when looked after, making it ideal for a range of custom parts and components.
