Passivation is a procedure for coating a metal surface with a thin corrosion-resistant film in order to protect a product. This coating prevents the metal base from coming into contact with oxygen and aggressive media. In modern manufacturing, passivation is used to give the metal properties that make it look like a noble metal. After processing, it is resistant to oxidation and other factors that negatively affect it.
Metal passivation: the essence of the process
What is a metal passivator
Passivation is carried out using special means, which are called “passivators". During the procedure, the metal product is treated with such a means, after which it becomes inactive. The passivator itself is a kind of obstacle to the formation of a corrosive layer on the metal surface.
Application of metal passivation
Using passivation technology, you can:
- To improve the conductivity of current in the area of electrical contact;
- To prevent the development and further spread of rust on the surface of the material;
- Protect welding seams (and other places of newly formed joints) from destruction; Perform micro-etching in accordance with prepared templates;
- Perform finishing work, change the decorative properties of the product.
Advantages of passivation
After passivation, the product acquires the following positive properties:
- A layer with new chemical characteristics is created;
- The presentation improves, consumer properties increase;
- There is a shine, the appearance becomes more aesthetic;
- Anti-corrosion activity decreases;
- The physical characteristics of the material surface are improved;
- Increases mechanical strength.
Metal Cleaner recommends the use of paste and liquid SteelGuard InoxPass for passivation.

Compliance with safety regulations
Employees should use the following personal protective equipment when using passivators:
- Acid-resistant workwear;
- Rubber gloves;
- Rubber boots;
- Special plastic visor for face protection;
- Suitable respiratory protective devices (if necessary).
Following these measures will help ensure safety during work.
Storage and disposal
The product must be stored in a well-ventilated room at room temperature, with restricted access by unauthorized persons. The cans must be tightly closed and in an upright position. Funds must be disposed of in accordance with local laws.
