Electrochemical Etching
Electrochemical Etching Stencil Cleaners
Cleaners and neutralizers are not the same thing, and we keep them on separate pages on purpose. A cleaner prepares the part before etching, removing oils, films, and other contamination so the mark comes out clean. A neutralizer treats the part after it's been marked, protecting it from corrosion at the mark site. We've seen customers reach for one where they meant the other, and it costs real time on the floor, so the distinction is worth being explicit about.
How to Choose
Etching Stencil Cleaners
Choose based on how much cleaning power the part's surface condition requires.
Cleaner #1 and Cleaner #3
are mild, near-neutral pH cleaners, suited to light contamination and routine pre-etch prep.
Cleaner #2
is a stronger alkaline cleaner, around pH 11, for parts that need more aggressive cleaning before etching.
