why chemical etching?
When made using traditional methods, solutions can lack structural integrity, have low power output, are thick and bulky, come with high manufacturing costs and offer a limited range of materials. Our etching process is highly controlled and offers several advantages, including the avoidance of stress, contact, burrs and heat which can alter the properties of metals.
Chemical etching from Tecan provides the precision required to manufacture parts for green tech. The process involves selectively removing material from a metal surface using chemicals and allows for intricate designs and high precision, making it ideal for creating components used in equipment which supports sustainability. Chemical etching offers several advantages, including the ability to produce complex shapes, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes making it widely used in industries such as renewable energy, water treatment, and air pollution control.
One of the main benefits of our experience in chemical etching for environmental applications is our ability to create highly complex shapes. The process allows for the production of intricate designs that can’t be easily achieved by other manufacturing methods. Whether it’s a custom filter, heat exchanger, fuel cell plate, air flow disc or a specialised component for a renewable energy system, chemical etching can accurately and consistently reproduce even the most intricate patterns.
how chemical etching helps
In addition to complex shapes, chemical etching offers tight tolerances. This means that the dimensions of the etched parts can be controlled with high precision down to +/- 10 microns (or even less) dependent on material thickness. This is crucial in environmental applications where accuracy is paramount. Whether it’s a sensor for monitoring air quality or a component for a water treatment system, chemical etching ensures that the parts meet the required specifications.
