Plating Resources Actonall-65
Plating Resources Actonall-65 is a dry acid salt used to provide extra bite on hard to activate metals. Actonall-65 is also very useful in removing silicate films from parts to prevent pits, haze and spotting. It is used along with Actonall-210 to replace more dangerous mineral acids such as hydrofluoric, fluoboric and nitric acids.

- Safety and Health
Avoid personal contact with these chemicals, avoid splashing and avoid breathing any fumes released during operation. Do not inhale any dust, mist or vapors from these chemicals. Do not allow these products to contact the skin or eyes. In case of contact, flush immediately with large amounts of fresh water and seek immediate medical attention.; Wear protective clothing such as aprons, gloves, face masks and respirators. Be sure that adequate eyewashes and emergency showers are available nearby before handling or using any of these chemicals.; Designated work clothing should be worn while using these chemicals and the worker(s) should thoroughly shower and change into fresh-clean street clothing before going home. Decontaminate all work clothing before reuse.; The user is responsible for providing adequate work clothing, personal protection, and limiting personal exposure and providing any required clean-up, decontamination as well as any needed medical attention.
- Usage
The following procedure is recommended. Always use caution when making up an acidic solution. Fill the tank 2/3 full with water; turn off the heaters and turn on the ventilation. Then dissolve the Actonall compound(s) while using caution to avoid splashes. Then, fill with water to the operating volume and agitate thoroughly.
- Benefits and Features
The Actonall series of chemicals are designed as an alternative to concentrated liquid acids used for activation prior to plating. As such, these products are much safer to handle and store. The Actonall chemicals are used for activation of difficult to plate metals and provide improved oxide and smut removal for maximum adhesion and deposit quality. The Actonall chemicals do not decompose and can be stored for long periods.
