About Chemical Cleaning

Acid Cleaning Stainless Steel

The following contaminants are commonly found in stainless steel piping as a result of the pipe fabrication process:

  • Dirt
  • Iron
  • Oil, paint, and grease
  • Oxide
  • Weld Spatter

Depending on the form of stainless and other factors such as the heat treatment method, IFM carefully selects the proper acid cleaning solution in order to minimize the impact to the stainless steel substrate.

Pickle & Passivation of Carbon Steel

The following contaminants are commonly found in carbon steel piping as a result of the pipe fabrication process:

  • Dirt
