FAQ/TCP-HF SP Question 1

The deoxidizing step is especially critical for parts with dirty oxide layers. A good surface activation step will allow better and homogeneous CHEMEON TCP-HF SP coating deposition on the metal surface. If the parts are newly machined and free of dirty oxides, then it is possible to skip the deoxidizing step before CHEMEON TCP-HF SP. Otherwise, it is always a good and recommended practice to activate the surface prior to the coating application to get repeatable performance results.
