    Electropolishing Solutions

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electropolishing Solutions.
    Smooth, brighten, and passivate metal parts for a mirror-like finish. When current is applied to these solutions, they dissolve microscopic surface flaws from your parts. These solutions contain mild concentrations of acids.
    For Stainless Steel—Polish 300-series, 17-4, and 420 stainless steel parts.

    Unheated Bath

    Heated Bath

    Dissolve microscopic surface flaws from metal parts for a mirror-like finish. These electropolishers send current through a conductive solution (sold separately) to remove a layer of surface material. They’re ideal for polishing intricate parts with hard-to-access features. Because they remove material evenly, they’re also good for applications where you need to polish your part without altering its dimensions. They’re small enough to fit on your workbench. Only use them on stainless steel and chrome workpieces.
    Unheated Bath—A good basic option. These electropolishers remove material slower than those with a heated bath. They also distribute current less evenly through the solution, so they leave a less uniform finish.
    Heated Bath—An upgrade in performance and finish compared to electropolishers with an unheated bath. These electropolishers use a heated solution that removes material faster and distributes current more evenly for a more uniform finish. They also output a higher wattage so you can polish workpieces with a larger surface area.
