Overview

What This Product Is

X-Flex is the Fuji Hunt magnesium etching additive SGZ supplies for powderless etching. It is model E004 and ships in 5 gallon and 20 kg drums. It is the first additive named on the SGZ coated magnesium plate specification.

Named on the plate specification

SGZ lists X-Flex first for its coated magnesium plate.

Two drum sizes

5 gallon and 20 kg.

For powderless etching

Designed for the powderless process.

Who it is for

Buyers Who Specify It

Magnesium plate etching houses

Shops that chose magnesium for bath speed and want the additive to match.

Banner and calendar plate makers

High-volume work where cycle time drives output.

Distributors

Traders supplying magnesium plate and chemistry together.

Problems it solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

  • Using zinc chemistry on magnesium plate wastes the plate. X-Flex is a magnesium grade.
  • Switching additive brand mid-programme changes the etch depth for a given time. Buying the additive named on the plate specification avoids that.
  • Shops of different sizes need different pack sizes, which is why X-Flex ships in both 5 gallon and 20 kg drums.
