MicroClean™ BS
MicroClean BS is a deoxidizer formulated for titanium alloys including Nitinol. It is characterized by moderate aggressiveness, which makes is a good choice for removal of more robust oxides.

MicroPolish™ II
MicroPolish II and MicroPolish are two inhibited deoxidizers formulated for titanium and titanium alloys including Nitinol. Each product acts as a cleaner/deoxidizer and slow chemical polish effective in removing surface metal oxides but only slowly etching base metals. Of the two polishes, MicroPolish II is slightly less aggressive. Overall, the etch rates are low for both polishes when compared to traditional deoxidizing chemistries. They are particularly suitable for applications where avoiding dimensional and weight losses is of critical importance (for example in devices utilizing fine wires).

ChemPolish Ti6Al4V™
ChemPolish Ti6Al4V is formulated to deoxidize and chemically polish titanium grade 5 and other high Ti alloys. Depending on an incoming surface condition the degree of polishing obtained with this product may be sufficient or a good step before electropolishing.
ChemPolish Ti6Al4V will remove base metal very slowly. If a more aggressive chemistry is desired, treat initially with MicroPolish II (RDZ2059 (available from RBP), then treat with ChemPolish Ti6Al4V.

MicroClean™ Ti
Medical components formed from nitinol, other titanium alloys and chrome alloys are often extruded, drawn and oxidized in the formation process, which creates organometallic compounds and oxides. These compounds are often difficult to remove without etching the metal, and therefore must be destroyed to be removed. While simple organic soils can be removed with many degreasers, such cleaning products are likely to be ineffective when the soils are “baked-in”. MicroClean Ti is a remedy for such situations and assures that the subsequent steps of deoxidizing and electropolishing are fully effective.
