Chemical Passivation: Promoting the vital chromium-oxide layer on stainless steel to meet ASTM A380 standards, essential for Nottinghamshire’s thriving Biotech, Medical, and Food-grade fabrication sectors.

De-greasing & Surface Pre-treatment: Removing shop dirt, oils, and grease from fabricated parts to ensure a pristine, “bright-white” finish before they leave the workshop.

Immersion Pickling

Immersion pickling is the preferred method at Metapic, offering superior results compared to spray pickling. This process ensures that the entire item is fully submerged in acid, allowing the solution to reach every surface, inside and out, for a thorough and consistent pickling treatment.

Why We Use Ambient Temperature for Pickling

At Metapic, we opt to pickle at ambient temperature for several key reasons:

  • Enhanced Control Over Finish:
    The slower pickling process provides us with greater control over the final finish, ensuring a high-quality result every time.

  • Health and Environmental Benefits:
    Pickling at lower temperatures reduces the amount of acid vapour released into the atmosphere, creating a safer work environment for our staff and minimising  environmental impact.

  • Cost Efficiency:
    By eliminating the need to heat the acid with electricity, we reduce operating costs. This translates to cost savings for both Metapic and our clients.
