Pickling is a chemical operation used to eliminate the material surface layers through solutions of acids or bases.
In case of metals, it means removing the surface oxide layer (or other contaminants) in order to prepare the material surface for subsequent treatment, namely the application of a protective coating to avoid new corrosion forms.
The pickling operation is very useful because it gives the material more resistance, greater longevity, and can potentially be performed on all products.
Nicro has inaugurated a new pickling area for products up to 20 meters (length), a dedicated zone to treat mainly large-scale components such as scrubbers, radiant tubes, muffles and fans.
