Our offer for
PASSIVATION
Passivation treatment is done for stainless steel alloys. It is the strong presence of chromium in these alloys that gives stainless steel its anti-corrosion properties. Passivation treatment involves immersing a piece of stainless steel in chemical ponds to clean and eliminate any source of contamination on the surface of the chemical.
Then, when the part is removed from the tanks, the reaction of the chromium contained in the stainless steel with the oxygen from the ambient air forms a new layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the part. This layer thus significantly improves the piece’s resistance to corrosion. For more details on our passivation process, refer to the steps bellow.

The steps of our passivation process
We can provide a compliance letter guaranteeing the standards and quality of our products
Step 1
Cleaning
We first carry out a thorough cleaning of the surface of the parts. This operation eliminates oils, greases and other deposits present on the surface of the parts.
Step 2
Passivation
The parts are then immersed in a passivation solution (acid-based) for a certain period depending on the amount of corrosion contained on the parts.
Step 3
Rinsing
Once passivation is complete, the parts must be rinsed to neutralize any trace of acid that may remain on their surface.
Fast processing and delivery
For your small or large projects, we guarantee your SATISFACTION thanks to our expertise, our superior quality and our unbeatable service. This is our promise, and has been for over 20 years.
