For all pickling & passivation surface-finishing processes, the primary concerns are:
Safety in handling and using the productsDisposal of products and residuesQWP addresses these concerns head-on. We advise you not only of the advantages of using the pickling products we distribute in the U. S., but of the possible disadvantages, as well. We do not want to just sell you products. We want to sell you the right product for your needs. We work with you to ensure that you use it properly, so your metal finishing jobs will be completed successfully and safely.
There are some companies who may downplay the fact that their product is hazardous, or tell you about the safety precautions you must take. They may also not tell you that when you have completed the job, you must collect the residue and have a local waste contractor transport it for proper treatment. These products and residues
cannot be disposed of in sewer or storm drains. With some companies, you will discover these issues the hard way when their MSDS is sent to your company. All safety precautions and disposal requirements are clearly written in the MSDS.
QWP talks about these problems up-front, and explains how we will work with you to address these problems and come up with working solutions. Not only do we ship every order complete with MSDS and Product Data Sheets for the products we order, we make those documents available on our web site, so you can conduct your own pre-qualification process.
