SAFETY DATA SHEET

1 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION AND OF THE COMPANY
IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION

ATTAQUE N1 or ACTIVATOR XC (code 10003)

or

DCF Etching (code: DPR 5070)

USE OF THE PREPARATION

This solution is used at ambient temperature to etch locally with a brush plating tool ferrous metals only being treated
below 120 hbars. It removes impurities, oxides and diverse precipitates from the substrate and creates anchoring points
for future plating.
The specificity of the brush process is it can be applied locally, just where it is necessary, i.e. without immersion of the
part. Thus, only small quantities of solutions are stored or used.

8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
TECHNICAL MEASURES
No drinking, eating or smoking on the workplace.
Maintain the premises and the workplace in a perfect state of cleanliness and clean them frequently.
As the product is used at ambient temperature during a short time, the values below are generally not reached. They
depend on the treatment time, the surface area treated and on the quality of the workshop air extraction.
