One of the key elements in the electro-chemical marking process is the electrolyte. The electrolyte used depends on the metal being marked and the type of mark required. There are different electrolytes for each family of metals and metal alloys. There are a number of alloys, platings and coatings in use today. It is often difficult to make a firm recommendation unless a sample is submitted for test marking. We encourage you to contact us if you require sample testing. The electrolyte chart provided can be used as a reliable guide.

Nuclear Grade Available: Electrolytes specifically formulated for use on nuclear grade materials are available on request.

Neutracleaners are used to clean parts before marking when required

Neutracleaner No 1 For Ferrous Alloys
Neutracleaner No 2 For Non Ferrous Alloys

Neutralisers are provided to halt the eteching process and prevent corrosion.

Formulation can be provided to allow etching with the need for neutralisers.

Thin oil to be used as a rust inhibitor. Use after neutralizing

A special die can be made to meet your needs where constant and changing information is required. The die is then impressed onto the impression stencil material. Die impressed stencils are also available in sheets and rolls.

Stencils are constructed of a photo sensitive material specifically developed for the electromarking industry.

Photographic Stencil caps are used for long runs and/or when location is important. Prepared photographically from art or type, stencil caps are formed from a photo-sensitive riston fabric to fit a standard or special marker

Heavy oil coating used as a rust inhibitor and protectant. Use after neutralizing.
