RXSOL Passivex C is a concentrated, water-based citric acid passivation liquid designed for the chemical passivation of stainless-steel surfaces following fabrication, welding, machining, grinding, pickling or cleaning.

The product removes surface contamination and assists in the removal of free iron and other iron-containing residues from stainless-steel surfaces, promoting the formation and restoration of a stable chromium-rich passive oxide layer.

Unlike conventional nitric-acid passivation products, RXSOL Passivex C uses citric acid technology and is suitable for applications where a nitric-free passivation process is preferred.

ASTM A967/A967M specifically recognizes Passivex C immersion treatments as chemical passivation treatments for stainless-steel parts.

Application

RXSOL Passivex C can be used for passivation of:
  • Austenitic stainless steel
  • 300-series stainless steel
  • 304 / 304L stainless steel
  • 316 / 316L stainless steel
  • Stainless-steel tanks
  • Stainless-steel piping

In many applications, thorough water rinsing is sufficient to stop the acid treatment.

A separate neutralization step may be used when required by the validated process.

If neutralization is employed, it should be validated to ensure that the treated stainless-steel surface still meets the required passivation acceptance criteria. ASTM A967 recognizes rinsing with or without a separate neutralization treatment.

Precautions & Remarks

DENGEROUS FOR ALL BODY PART
 

NB. Before disposing the passivating fluid it should be neutralized. ( Caustic / Soda ash /  slaked lime )
 

In accordance with the latest E.E.C Council directives
R 34                        :               Causes burn

S2                           :               Keep out of reach of children

S 26                        :               In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of wate and seek medical advice

Identification

Choose a non fuming and non corrosive treatment for metal passivation.

Choose RXSOL Passivex C as your ultimate passivation treatment chemical and get rid of highly toxic fumes.

Another safer alternative to avoid acidic passivation is Safe Passivator Liquid 630 RXSOL-38-1630-025

Keywords

For faster treatment, a higher-temperature process can be used.

Treatment Option 1

Temperature: 50-60°C
Minimum time: 10 minutes

Treatment Option 2

Temperature: 60-70°C
Minimum time: 4 minutes

These treatment windows are recognized in ASTM A967 for RXSOL Passivex C.

Dosage

How does Passivation using RXSOL Passivex C work?

Stainless steel naturally develops a thin, chromium-rich passive oxide film when exposed to suitable oxidizing conditions.
 
During fabrication, however, the surface may contain:
  • Free iron
  • Embedded carbon steel particles
  • Iron oxide
  • Grinding debris
  • Welding contamination
  • Machining residues
  • Surface deposits
 
These contaminants can initiate localized corrosion and reduce the corrosion resistance of the stainless-steel surface.
 
RXSOL Passivex C provides a controlled citric-acid treatment that helps remove undesirable metallic contamination and supports formation of the passive chromium oxide film.
