Specialty Plating Supplies
Electrocleaners
Miraclean IC-290
Miraclean IC-290 is a heavy-duty phosphate-free powdered degreaser for use in soak applications. It is for use only on steel and brass.
Miraclean EC-220
Highly alkaline liquid soak and electrocleaner for ferrous metals, copper, and copper plated work. Has been formulated to be free rinsing, low foaming, and highly conductive (5% solution – 62 mS per cm). Will remove a variety of soils including oils, greases, and lubricants. Can also be used as a spray cleaner. Will also keep plating barrels and other equipment clean and free of oils.
MC 520
Silicate-free heavy-duty detergent for use in soak and ultrasonic cleaning systems. It is safe for use on stainless steel, nickel, cobalt chrome, and titanium alloys. Excellent for removing polishing compounds and blast media from medical implants and instruments. It can also be used to remove general machine oils.
Miraclean EC-179
Dry, highly alkaline, granular product with a high sequestering ability and high surfactants. It is for use on ferrous metals only.
Miraclean EC-140
Highly alkaline liquid soak and electrocleaner for ferrous metals. Has been formulated to be highly conductive, free rinsing, and low foaming. Will also keep plating barrels and other equipment clean and free of oils. Can also be used as a spray cleaner.
Miraclean LB-620
Concentrated liquid caustic product for use as a component of a soak or electrocleaner for steel. Excellent for removal and emulsification of oils and grease from ferrous metals.
Miraclean EC-315
Concentrated liquid product for use with Miraclean LB-620 as an excellent anodic electrocleaner for steel parts. Miraclean EC-315 is excellent for removal of oil and smut.
Miraclean S-170
Miraclean S-170 is a concentrated liquid product for use as a component of a soak cleaner for steel. Excellent for removal of oils and grease from ferrous metals.
Etchants
Miraclean Deoxidizer
A liquid acidic compound designed to remove oxides, stains, and smut from stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, zinc, magnesium, titanium, zirconium and iconel.
Miraclean Deoxidizer 500
A liquid acidic compound designed to remove oxides, stains, and smut from stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, zirconium and iconel.
Mirapic ME-811
A water-soluble, dry powder containing acid salts with the addition of nitric acid to process Zamak-3 zinc die castings (Mix 1) and high silicon aluminum (Mix 2). Both treatments result in a leveled and fine-grained activated surface for post-seeding chemical or electroplating operations.
Mirapic ME-815
A water-soluble, dry powder containing acid salts. Mirapic ME-815 is added to sulfuric acid to deoxidize and activate copper and copper alloys. Contains no phosphate, fluorides, chromate, ammonia, nitrate, or chloride. Will restore copper appearance on copper alloys, enhance the appearance of brass alloys that are dezinced at the surface, and be used as a chromate-free deoxidizer on certain aluminum alloys.
Mirapic ME-810
A water-soluble, dry powder containing fluoride-bearing salts, which can be used to replace hazardous hydrofluoric acid. (1 oz. per gal. in water with the addition of sulfuric, nitric, or hydrochloric acid is equivalent to 1% by volume of 60% hydrofluoric acid).
Miraclean SS Etch
A liquid acidic compound designed to etch and condition stainless steel surfaces prior to brazing, rubberizing, or resin coatings. Is stabilized to deliver a uniform and specific etch rate over a long period of time.
Acid Salts
Acid Salt 829
A dry powder containing acid salts and surface active agents. For use with water on all metal as a replacement for mineral acids.
Acid Salt 839
A dry powder containing acid salts and surface active agents. For use with water on all metal as a replacement for mineral acids.
Mirapic AS-839L
A liquid version of Acid Salt 839. It is a blend of acid salts and surfactants. Used for activating steel, copper alloys, and zinc. Unlike conventional mineral acids, dilution with water products produces less heat. Normal precautions when working with mineral acids should be observed.
Activator 34
A dry powder containing acid salts and surface active agents. Activator 34 is for use with water on all metal as a replacement for mineral acids. Activator 34 is very effective on zinc die cast alloys, tin, lead, leaded brass, bismuth alloys, white metals, and beryllium copper.
