Step 1
Clean
To remove surface residues and assure uniform etching/polishing. Non-aggressive, effective on post-processing soils.
Step 2
Deoxidize, Etch &
ChemPolish
To remove oxides with controlled removal and polishing of base metal. A variety of deoxidizers for a variety of substrates and situations.
Step 3
ElectroPolish
To obtain a polished surface.
Cobalt Chrome is a biocompatible metal alloy often used in orthopedic implants, dental implants and other medical devices.
Cobalt Chrome requires specific chemical solutions to ensure effectiveness and decrease the risk of rejection. RBP Chemical Technology is the leader in development, manufacturing and the distribution of specialty chemical processes for the cleaning and passivation of Cobalt Chrome and other metal alloys used for implanted medical devices.
