Plating Resources Dura Prep Powder
Plating Resources Dura Prep Powder is a special powdered compound that is used for hand cleaning of parts just prior to electroplating or Micro Tuff impregnation. DuraPrep is a unique blend of mild abrasives, detergents, activators, and surfactants that physically and chemically remove particles and debris. This assures a clean surface, so that maximum adhesion is obtained. Its use helps to prevent pitting and nodulization caused by grinding-polishing debris that tends to cling to the metal’s surface.

Although there is no particular danger involved in handling DuraPrep, it is an alkaline industrial product and should be treated as such. Avoid breathing dust.. Do not use without gloves because of the abrasive nature of the product. Flush with water in case of contact with skin. For eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes (do not rub) and obtain medical attention.
- Benefits and Features
DuraPrep is very helpful in removing fingerprints and stop-off residue just prior to plating and, in many cases, can replace liquid honing, vapor blasting, or glass beading operations. The use of DuraPrep is highly recommended, wherever possible, so that the optimum plating quality is obtained.. DuraPrep is also used as a cleaning agent for dies, tooling sets and similar components during use and prior to the re-application of Micro Tuff Polymer.
