SS Pickling Solution D
SS Pickling Solution D is a specialized acidic treatment solution formulated for pharmaceutical and analytical laboratory use, designed for the restoration and cleaning of stainless steel process equipment, piping, vessels and instrumentation that have undergone fabrication, welding or heat treatment.
🏭⚗️ Production
Prepared by blending high‑purity inorganic acids with corrosion inhibitors, wetting agents and stabilizers in a strictly controlled manufacturing environment. The formulation is standardized for acid strength, performance in metal scale removal, and residual inhibitor content. Supplied in acid‐resistant, tightly sealed containers to ensure integrity and prevent contamination, fume loss or degradation.
🔬 Properties
A clear to slightly tinted, strongly acidic aqueous solution exhibiting high reactivity toward stainless steel oxide scales, weld heat‐tints, and embedded ferritic contamination. Excellent wetting and penetration characteristics enable uniform treatment across complex stainless steel geometries. Non‑flammable under normal laboratory conditions but highly corrosive and reactive with incompatible materials. Stable when stored in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area in appropriately sealed containers.
🧪 Applications
Used in pharmaceutical & analytical laboratory environments for cleaning and restoring stainless steel surfaces of reactors, vessels, piping systems, fittings and instrumentation that require removal of oxide, scale and heat affected zones. Suitable for immersion baths, circulation systems or spray treatments. After exposure, surfaces must be thoroughly rinsed with deionised water and often subjected to passivation to restore the protective chromium‐oxide layer for corrosion resistance and clean‐room suitability.
⚠️ Safety
Extremely corrosive and hazardous: capable of causing severe chemical burns, eye injury, and respiratory irritation. Use only in a fume hood or well‐ventilated area with full protective equipment (acid‑resistant gloves, goggles or face shield, protective clothing and apron). Avoid contact with skin, eyes and incompatible materials (strong bases, organics, oxidisers). In the event of spills, neutralise immediately using sodium bicarbonate or lime and dispose of in accordance with institutional and environmental safety regulations. Store in a tightly closed, chemically resistant container in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area, away from strong bases and oxidizable materials.
