Pickling is a chemical process used to remove impurities, such as rust, scale, and welding residues, from metal surfaces. It is essential for restoring the metal’s surface integrity and preparing it for further processing or use, especially in industries like Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical, and Food & Beverage.
Passivation is a chemical treatment that enhances the natural formation of a protective chromium-oxide layer on stainless steel surfaces. This process improves corrosion resistance, preventing rust and contamination, which is critical for maintaining the quality and longevity of metal components.
Metapic offers extensive experience and state-of-the-art facilities, including the largest pickling tanks in Europe. Our expertise ensures high-quality, reliable results across various industries, including Defence, Aerospace, Water Treatment, and more, with a focus on meeting stringent industry standards.
