Only process chemicals that have been tested and
approved (e.g. VAH or FDA approval or CE mark) and
which are compatible with the product’s materials
according to the chemical manufacturers’ recommen-
dations may be used for processing the product. All the
chemical manufacturer's application specifications
must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can result in
the following problems:
■
Optical changes of materials, e.g. fading or discol-
oration of titanium or aluminum. For aluminum,
the application/process solution only needs to be
of pH >8 to cause visible surface changes.
■
Material damage such as corrosion, cracks, fractur-
ing, premature aging or swelling.
►
Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abra-
sives that would damage the product surfaces and
could cause corrosion.
►

material-/value-preserving reprocessing can be
