Velv-Etch Zinc Etching Additive Oil

What This Product Is

Problems it solves
What Goes Wrong Without It
- An additive chosen at random undercuts the shoulder and wastes the plate. Velv-Etch is one of the two additives SGZ specifies for its zinc plate.
- Mixed supply chains mean the plate and the chemistry never get tested together. SGZ supplies both.
- Small pack sizes mean constant reordering. Velv-Etch comes in 20 kg drums.

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
SGZ Zinc Etching Additive Oil
The SGZ house additive is a similar zinc etching solvent in the same 20 kg drum. Both are specified for SGZ zinc plate.
X-Flex Magnesium Etching Additive Oil
X-Flex is for magnesium plate. Zinc and magnesium additives are not interchangeable.
Use Guide
- Use only with zinc plate. For magnesium, use Rev-Flex or X-Flex.
- Charge the bath of a powderless etching machine, not an open tray.
- Keep bath temperature inside the machine's 15-30 degrees C range for a steady etch rate.
- Store drums closed, upright and away from heat.
