ON-SITE ELECTROPOLISHING
Our specialty for all situations
Since the late 1970s, this technology has been continuously developed by the Henkel Group and is now the flagship of our on-site refurbishment processes. Regardless of component architecture and dimensions, stainless steels and special alloys are always treated with individually adapted equipment, even in clean rooms. The aim is to achieve the best possible micro-smoothing and to create homogeneous surface structures, recognizable by their characteristic shine and homogeneous appearance.
Based on decades of experience, our processes for on-site use have been continuously adapted to our customers' specifications. Occupational safety and environmental protection play just as important a role as good handling, even in often confined spaces. To ensure controlled and uniform material removal, special devices adapted to the respective component and electrochemical process parameters are used, controlled and documented on site, even under GMP conditions. When it comes to the shape and material of the objects to be treated, we are happy to refer to our wealth of experience from projects that have already been successfully completed. The scope of application for this process ranges from cannulas to large tanks. We welcome the challenge of your demanding task!
• Produces maximum micro-smoothing
• Provides the minimum actual surface area and reduces adhesion
• Removes accumulated adhesion effects such as local corrosion, caking, product residues, particles
• Use of minimal volumes of chemicals; containers and systems do not need to be flooded
• Performed segment by segment
• Chemicals/rinse water can optionally be disposed of on site.
• Chemicals compatible with all common plastics
• Regular monitoring of representative control points determines the optimal timing.
Electropolishing involves the electrochemical removal of surface layers. It is often used when unwanted deposits, frequently exacerbated by temperature influences and overlapping, form or when surfaces no longer meet their original specifications after prolonged use.
Furthermore, the method is ideal for repairing mechanical damage such as scratches and localized corrosion.
