Our Chemical Products

When working with stainless steels, the surface of the material can be significantly affected in a number of ways. Rolling, forming, welding and even general handling in the workshop can result in surface contamination, which can lead to reduced corrosion resistance.

Anopol Product Range

The ANOPOL range of chemical products for Electropolishing, Pickling, Passivating and cleaning stainless steels removes contamination, improves corrosion resistance and can produce a clean, aesthetically attractive appearance.

In addition ANOPOL offers 2 types of Test Kits, one for checking the presence of free iron on a surface and the other for differentiating between grades 304 and 316.

All the products are suitable for use by manufacturers/fabricators for in-house or on-site application.
