Use an anti-fume agent to minimize acid droplets in the air around the tanks and to provide better environment for personnel and equipment.
The anti-fume agent may be a foam layer, plastic balls, etc., or a chemical additive that minimizes droplet formation, which is sprayed on top of the pickling bath.
Reduces the surface tension of the acid molecules in the pickling baths, which leads to a significant reduction in the emission of acid fumes on the surface of the pickling baths, even when forming a new bath
Reduces emissions of fumes visibly regardless of the operating temperature
Has an emulsifying effect on the organic components from the working bath by keeping them stable and delaying the time of floating of organic impurities on the surface of the working bath
Increases the wetting power of base material / steel, which increases the homogeneity of pickling
The correct solution is encapsulated pretreatment room to provide occupational health and safety, a clean environment and holistic protection of buildings and equipment against acid fume corrosion. Anti fume agents are the solution in limited conditions.
Technical Characteristics
Preparation of the Pickling Solution with LYCAN FUMEBLOCK
Calculate the volume of the tank
Fill 50% of the working level of the tank with water
Fill LYCAN FUMEBLOCK in 2% of the amount of concentrated acid added in new bath
Fill the rest of the tank to working level with HCl
Maintenance of the Pickling Solution
Consumption of the chemical takes place by carry-over.
Additions have to be made according to the fresh HCl added, as 2% LYCAN FUMEBLOCK of the amount of concentrated acid added.
Working Parameters
Temperature : RT-35°C Process time : 15-90 minutes depending on the free HCl and Fe+2 content on the pickling solution Iron concentration (Fe+2) : Maximum 125 g/liter Free HCl concentration : Minimum 25 g/liter
