Pickling cards

Pickling cards are an indispensable tool in surface technology and painting technology for monitoring and controlling the pickling and painting process. They are used to control the reaction time and intensity of the chemical treatment or painting and to achieve the desired surface effects.

In painting technology, stain cards are used to test adhesion, color, gloss and other paint properties. For example, stain cards are painted with different paint formulations and then visually evaluated to determine the best paint finish for a particular substrate or application. These stain cards serve as a reference for future coatings and allow consistent results to be achieved.

In surface technology, pickling cards are often used to monitor the etching or surface treatment of metals. For example, pickling cards are made from the metal to be treated and dipped into the pickling agent at regular intervals. The progress of the etching is then visually assessed to control the etching time and intensity to achieve the desired surface finish.

The use of etching cards offers several advantages. They allow precise control over the etching and painting process to achieve consistent and repeatable results. In addition, they serve as a reference for future processes and help minimize material loss by optimizing the process and avoiding unnecessary over-treatment.

Overall, pickling cards are an indispensable tool for quality assurance and process control in surface treatment and painting technology. By using them, manufacturers can ensure that their products have the desired surface effects and meet their customers' requirements.
