Kit sizes range from 0.5 Kilo kits to treat up to 40 Sq. Ft. to 10.0 Kilo kits to treat up to 800 Sq. Ft.

For pickling & passivation of 300-Series Stainless Steel, discoloration removal on Nickel, and for pre and post-weld cleaning on Aluminum, spray application of these products from QWP may be the ideal method for many applications. These spray pickling sprays have thixotropic qualities that minimize running on vertical surfaces and color indicators to help assure you of complete coverage. A single operation provides pickling and promotes passivation.
From acid-resistant brushes to acid-resistant spray pumps, QWP offers a full range of applicators for its pickling & passivation products. Spray pumps include hand-operated pumps and compressed air-driven pumps. Our QWP paste pickling product kits all include applicator brushes.
Before pickling and welding operations, metal surfaces must be clean and free of grease, oil, and oxides. Antox degreasing and cleaning products from QWP handle the job quickly and efficiently on Stainless Steel and other metals. Three products cover different needs, and are available in quantities to match your operational requirements.
For immersion bath pickling & passivation of 300-Series Stainless Steel alloys, passivation of Aluminum, and discoloration removal for Nickel alloys, QWP offers 30 Kilo quantities to meet the needs of small and medium-sized bath pickling operations. Ideal for fabricators, these products provide a two-bath P&P process that can be scaled to the bath container size needed for maximum performance and economy
