Activol 1946

High-Performance Activol 1946 Pickling Corrosion Inhibitor | Steel & Metal Processing | UK & European Distribution

Technical Specifications

Activol 1946 is an aqueous, specialized HCl over-pickling inhibitor formulated from a synergistic combination of surfactants and active inhibiting bases. Engineered for batch or continuous hydrochloric acid steel pickling, it delivers high restraining action against acid attack on base steel, remaining thermally stable up to 95–100°C without losing performance over extended periods.

Commercial Applications & Metal Finishing

Primarily utilized in steel mill operations and metal surface finishing, Activol 1946 acts as a protective additive during scale removal. It prevents excessive base metal loss and hydrogen embrittlement while maintaining descaling efficiency even under high dosage conditions.

Industrial Operations & Surface Quality

In continuous and batch pickling lines, Activol 1946 produces a uniformly pickled surface with minimal removable surface contamination, ensuring optimal adhesion for subsequent galavanizing, painting, or plating processes. Supplied across the UK, Ireland, and Europe in flexible liquid containment formats.

Key Features & Packaging

• High restraining efficiency against HCl corrosion on highly reactive base steel.
• Thermal and chemical stability up to 100°C during extended pickling cycles.
• Uncompromised descaling speed with maximum surface cleanliness.
• Compatible alternative to conventional inhibitors like Armohib and Leuzolit.
• Flexible packaging in 25L drums, 200L barrels, and 1000L IBCs.
