N-1 is our cleaning and neutralizing solution. It can be used with all electrolytes and alloys.
Purpose of the N-1 is to remove salts and other reaction products from the marking area. It will bring back the etching area to (about) pH neutral. A quick wipe with a N-1 moistened felt or cloth will be sufficient.
Problems with rust on your (stainless or carbon) steel parts after marking? We can help, just send us a quick message in the contact section.

EX-10 is our electrolyte for black marks on steel surfaces. It is typically used on stainless steel, carbon steel, Aluminum. It marks Gold or gold-plated surfaces. All marks will be black.
Applications have a wide range from knife blades to machined pieces, Aluminum parts and gold knobs.
Use a setting of 12 Volt AC, if the mark comes out weak, go to a setting of 24 Volt AC
|
EX-9B is our electrolyte for black marks on high end metal surfaces. It is typically used on stainless steel, chrome plated surfaces, nickel plated surfaces, cadmium plated surfaces and bronze.
Applications have a wide range from surgical implants to chef knives.
Use a setting of 12 Volt AC

EX-21 has different effects on the metal surface.
The following surfaces turn white or bright grey when etched with EX-21 (use AC Voltages):
black oxide, blue oxide,
The following surfaces turn black when etched with EX-21 (Use AC Voltages):
carbide tools, graphite (24V DC),
The following alloys can be deep etched with EX-21 (use 24 Volt DC):
copper, brass, bronze

EX-D20 is our go to electrolyte for deep etching. It leaves a clear, deep mark. The marking depth will depend on your specific alloy. As a rule of thumb assume 0.5 thou depth for a 3 second marking cycle.
Alloys that can be deep etched include:
stainless steel, carbon steel, any kind of plating
EX-D20 does not deep etch aluminum, use EX-4.
Use a setting of 24 Volt DC

DEV-1 is the developer solution for our self stencil material.
empty bottle into a pan and submerse the exposed stencil material. The unexposed material should start to wash out immediately. Support wash-out process with slight agitation or a gentle rub with your finger.
The material is reusable and can be used a long time, although it might change color.
DEV-1 is perfectly safe for operator and environment.

EX-33 is our electrolyte for High-Nickel alloys and it is our go-to solution for CoCr implant grade alloys, it will give you a high contrast black mark with no chipping.
Applications have a wide range, most applications come from high temperature resistant alloys like Inconel (High- Nickel alloys).
Other applications include SN Coatings (Tin) and ZN coatings (Zinc).
Use a setting of 12 Volt AC or 24 Volt AC.
If you are not sure about your specific application we will be happy to test your parts for you.
