Henkel’s next generation Bonderite pickling process for a more sustainable production

Henkel’s nitric acid (HNO3) free Bonderite C-CP (“Cleanox”) technology is designed to significantly increase the sustainability value of the pickling process. By eliminating nitrate and nitrite pollution, as well as nitrogen oxide fumes, this innovative technology increases productivity while protecting the environment.

The Cleanox technology has already been in use for decades in multiple industries across the globe, including the wire, tube, coil, and bar segments. It is suitable for all stainless steel grades, and can be used in multiple applications, including immersion, spray, continuous line, or batch solution processes.

VDM Metal Group, a German manufacturer of nickel alloys and special stainless steels, has recently implemented Henkel’s Cleanox technology to pickle rolled wire of high-alloyed materials in order to ensure the compliance with NOx limits.
