Custom chemical etchants, buffered oxide etchants (BOEs) and mixed acid etchants (MAEs) used for thin film processing, chemical milling and metal finishing applications typically require a high degree of quality, purity, tolerance and control which are critical to the desired etch rate. Columbus Chemical Industries specializes in the manufacturing of these highly sensitive processing materials from our strategically located facility in Phoenix, AZ, ideal for serving California and Arizona customers.
Reducing Your Risks, Increasing Your Quality
Chemical etchants commonly contain highly corrosive and reactive materials. Often these blends exhibit exothermic reactions releasing dangerous levels of heat or have the potential to expel harmful gases requiring expertise handling and/or special blending vessels and fume control equipment. These dangerous traits along with the corrosive nature of low pH acids create a dangerous environment, exposing production staff to multiple hazards and increasing risks.
Iodine, a common component in chemical etchants, is not only hazardous, but a highly controlled DEA List I substance. CCI is committed to the responsible handling and use of this material, and holds the proper the DEA Registration Certificates to supply iodine-containing chemical etchants into the related industries.
Our service is to provide your chemical etchant, ready to use, reducing the level of associated risk or accident.
Since chemical etchants can exhibit high volatility when processed, CCI has an experienced regulatory team ready to assign appropriate hazard management and design a proper, safe and legal shipping package.
