Oils
SCALP SEAL is a refined petroleum-based anti-evaporation oil, specifically designed for use in chemical stripping baths. During paint stripping, strippers tend to evaporate, causing product loss and reduced efficiency. SCALP SEAL prevents this by forming a protective layer on the bath surface, significantly limiting evaporation.
Its high density allows it to float naturally on the bath surface, creating a physical barrier to vapours without chemically interacting with the stripper. SCALP SEAL has no activating or penetrating properties—it simply stabilises the bath and maintains the stripper’s effectiveness over time.
This ready-to-use product is simple to apply and compatible with most industrial stripping bath processes.
SCALPROTEC 31 is a protective oil for metal surfaces, formulated with corrosion inhibitors dissolved in refined mineral oil. It provides temporary anti-corrosion protection for 3 to 9 months, depending on storage conditions.
This versatile product is suitable for a wide range of metals, including cast iron, steel, aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, copper and zinc. SCALPROTEC 31 is widely used across industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace and oil industries, notably for protecting spare parts, metal pipes (interiors) and sheet metal prior to stamping or other processing operations.
Ready-to-use, SCALPROTEC 31 can be easily applied by immersion, spraying, brushing or wiping.
What Is the role of oil in a pickling process ?
Oils play a crucial role in industrial pickling processes. They serve several important functions:
- Lubrication: Oils reduce friction and wear on metal parts, helping to protect equipment during processing.
- Corrosion protection: By forming a thin protective layer on the metal surface, oils prevent the formation of rust and other corrosion-related damage.
- Enhanced cleaning: Oils help chemicals improve wetting and penetration more effectively, improving the overall efficiency of the pickling process.
- Temperature control: In pickling processes involving hot baths, oils help regulate bath temperature, minimising thermal stress on metal components.
What Is anti-evaporation oil used for ?
Anti-evaporation oil is added to pickling baths to minimise the evaporation of bath liquids, reducing the release of vapours into the workspace. This helps maintain the concentration and composition of the bath over time, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
By ensuring a consistent concentration of active components, anti-evaporation oil also helps maintain the efficiency and reliability of the pickling process, delivering better and more repeatable results.
