Aquaclean 160 and Aquaclean 165 are acid based activation agents designed for stainless steel fasteners and components. They dissolve oily films and loosen metallic deposits that remain after degreasing and descaling.
The result is a clean, reactive surface that is ready for the next process step in your S.S. fastener line. Typical activation cycles run 10–15 minutes at room temperature with a short water rinse.
Why manufacturers rely on Aquaclean 160 & 165 activation chemistry for stainless steel fasteners and components:
Specialized activation chemistry developed specifically for stainless steel fasteners and related components.
Dissolves the oily layer, loosens metallic deposits, and provides excellent etching on stainless steel surfaces.
Delivers instant cleaning action with an activation cycle of around 10–15 minutes at room temperature.
Water based formulation keeps chemical usage economical while maintaining high activation performance.
Fits directly into the activation stage of stainless steel fastener process flows.
Use these recommended parameters as a baseline for your Aquaclean 160 & 165 activation baths.
