Aquaclean 160 and 165

SuperClean 150 Plus

Reliable Surface Activation with Aquaclean 160 and 165

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:

  • Targeted Activation

Specialized activation chemistry developed specifically for stainless steel fasteners and related components.

  • Clean, Etched Surface

Dissolves the oily layer, loosens metallic deposits, and provides excellent etching on stainless steel surfaces.

  • Fast Process

Delivers instant cleaning action with an activation cycle of around 10–15 minutes at room temperature.

  • Water-Based Economy

Water based formulation keeps chemical usage economical while maintaining high activation performance.

  • Built for S.S. Fastener Lines

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.
