SurTec® 495 L

Liquid Desmutting for Aluminium

Properties
 suited for spray- and immersion processes
 highly concentrated liquid product
 easy to handle
 removes even hard etching residues and oxides
 suited for highly alloyed and copper containing aluminium

Application
immersion spray
make-up value: 17 %vol (10-25 %vol) 10 %vol (5-20 %vol)
application time: 3 min (2-10 min) 60 s (30-120 s)

temperature: 23°C (15-28°C)


agitation: air agitation
spraying pressure: 1 bar (0.5-2 bar)
tank material: steel with acid- and fluoride-resistant coating
heating: not required
exhaust: recommended for worker's protection
hint: A slight turbidity of the bath solution will not disturb the
desmutting process.

recommended process sequence (for aluminium parts):


1. immersion cleaning SurTec 133
2. alkaline etching SurTec 181
3. desmutting SurTec 495 L
4. passivation SurTec 650 chromitAL
5. rinse with deionised water (max. 30 µS/cm)
6. hot air drying at max. 65°C
Between each step, there has to be rinsed. The rinsing methods
have to be adapted to the plating line.

Technical Specification
(at 20°C) Appearance Density (g/ml) pH-value (conc.)
SurTec 495 L liquid, yellow-brown, clear 1.367 (1.35-1.39) <1
Maintenance and Analysis
Analyse and adjust the concentration of SurTec 495 L regularly.

Sample Preparation
Take a sample at a homogeneously mixed position and let it cool down to room
temperature, if necessary. If the sample is turbid, let the turbidity settle down and
decant or filter the solution through a fluted filter.

SurTec 495 L – Analysis by Titration


reagents: 0.1 mol/l EDTA solution (Titriplex III)
caustic soda solution (10 %)
indicator: 5-sulfo salicylic acid · 2 H2O (2 % solution)
procedure: 1. Pipette 5 ml bath sample into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Dilute to approx. 100 ml with deionised water.
3. Adjust the pH-value to pH 2.5 with 10 % caustic soda.
4. Add 2 ml indicator solution.
5. Titrate with 0.1 mol/l EDTA solution from deep red to slightly
yellow until no further brightening is observable (there is no
sharp colour changing point).
calculation: consumption in ml · 1.84 = %vol SurTec 495 L

Ingredients
 sulfuric acid
 fluorides
 nitrates

Consumption and Stock Keeping


The consumption depends heavily on the drag-out. To determine the exact amounts
of drag-out see SurTec Technical Letter 11.
The following value can be taken as estimated average consumption:
SurTec 495 L 40 ml per m2 of treated surface
In order to prevent delays in the production process, per 1000 l bath the following
amount should be kept in stock:
SurTec 495 L 200 kg
