Neutralization of chemical reactions
In industries such as chemical production, food processing, metal processing and waste management, neutralizers can be used to regulate the pH of solutions and prevent undesirable chemical reactions or corrosion.
In metal processing, pickling and rinsing are followed by neutralization. During this process, the acid residues remaining on the surface and in the pores are neutralized. Expediently, a good neutralizing agent also contains passivating substances to effectively prevent subsequent rusting during storage for a certain time.
The neutralization is best carried out in the pH range of 10-11. In this range, the neutralized surfaces get a nicer and brighter appearance than when working in the pH range of 13-14, i.e. in solutions containing caustic soda.

For the follow-up treatment of chemically cleaned surfaces. Neutralizing agents with complexing agents
A formulation of alkaline-reacting compounds used as neutralizing and passivating agents in rinsing baths after pickling steels.
The products shown on our website are only a selection of our entire product range. There is no universal remedy for the rapid removal of impurities. Some can be removed well with alkaline agents, others better in the acidic range. The large variety of conceivable cleaning problems and the large number of additives, inhibitors and ready-to-use cleaning solutions offered by us make it advisable to obtain detailed advice before starting cleaning.
The same applies to inhibitors, defoamers, scale preventers, corrosion inhibitors, pickling inhibitors, etc. Depending on the plant, material, product and the type of boiler/cooling water is used, different individual challenges arise. We are well equipped for them.
