Paraffin Wax

It consists of two solutions, TK-F1 & TK-F2,
 

Mix Solution TK-F1 & TK-F2  1:1.  ( which contain nitric acid and potassium ferricyanide. The potassium ferricyanide can emit lethal fumes if it is exposed to concentrated acids, or heated to decomposition. The mixed solutions are combined before use as the mixture has an active shelf-life of approximately 24 hours. )


1st option ::: A filter paper is soaked with the mix solution and applied to the surface to be checked. After a reaction time of 30 - 60 seconds, ferrite residues, which are on the surface, will give a blue result if  when iron is present.

2nd option ::: Alternatively, this mixture can be sprayed by atomizer spray over the area to be tested , and inhalation of this spray should be avoided.
 
 
Important note :

- The tested surface has to be cleaned immediately after with de-ionised water.
- Highly trained personnel should only be permitted to perform this test.
- Residues of pickling products will also show a blue colour.
 

The Ferroxyl test is designed to determine whether austenitic stainless steel needs to be pickled or whether it has been pickled satisfactorily. When structure on the surface of austenitic stainless steel has not been evenly restored, an excess of metallic iron will be present (so called embedded iron) which will adversely affect the properties of the stainless steel.

The presence of embedded iron in the stainless steel surface disturbs the chromium oxide film reducing the corrosion resistance locally. When embedded iron is not removed serious (pit) corrosion may set in.

Experimental Principle  ::: --- 

The test is based on a reaction of potassium ferricyandide with iron in a strongly acid medium. The excess iron dissolves in this strongly acid medium as ferrous ion to form a blue complex, known as Prussian Blue.

When during this test this blue coloration manifests itself it means that the surface of the stainless steel does not yet have the correct structure and has been insufficiently picked.

Small Spill:
Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. If necessary:
Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate.
Large Spill:
Corrosive liquid. Oxidizing material. Poisonous liquid. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other noncombustible
material. Do not get water inside container. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood, paper, oil, clothing...). Keep substance
damp using water spray. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray curtain to divert vapor drift. Use water spray to reduce vapors.
Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Neutralize the residue with
a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the
MSDS and with local authorities.
