EPS Eco Pickled Surface Coil and Sheet Lines up to .590" (15 mm) at coil widths up to 84" (2134 mm)

EPS is a patented replacement for acid pickling. The process is environmentally friendly and produces a scale free, clean, rust resistant surface without the use of hazardous chemicals and acids. As opposed to acid based pickling, EPS is a mechanical process that uses steel grit and water, both of which are re-circulated for continuous reuse. The removed scale and depleted grit is filtered from the system for easy disposal.

Since EPS is rust resistant, EPS does not require a protective coat of oil to keep it from rusting as is the case with acid pickled material. That means there is no need for solvents to strip off the oil prior to painting. In addition, the EPS process actually creates a new surface as it removes mill scale. This new surface mitigates some other unwanted features such as pitting, rust scars, silicon streaks, and pickling stains frequently found on pickled and oiled material. With EPS, a customer can also specify the surface roughness (Ra value) needed for their application. The surface can be rougher for better paint or plating adhesion or smoother for other applications.
