Electropolishing & Passivation For Laboratories

Laboratories can greatly benefit from electropolishing and passivation services depending on the material and use. Parts and components made from stainless steel can utilize an electropolishing service to create a smooth, easier to clean surface for lab equipment and instruments. Passivation is also great for laboratory equipment to ensure there is a high resistance to corrosion and rust.

What Types of Laboratories Use Electropolishing and Passivation Services?

CELCO Inc. works with a number of different laboratory industries. Dental and orthodontic laboratories are in constant need of electropolishing and passivation for different items like retainers, brackets, arch wires, bands and the appliances and tools used throughout daily operations. 

Another industry with a high rate of laboratory use is the medical and pharmaceutical field. Laboratory equipment, surgical instruments, compounding equipment and many other devices can all benefit from electropolishing and passivation services. 

Electropolishing Benefits for Laboratories

Cleanliness and sterilization is crucial in a laboratory setting. Electropolishing services remove surface contaminants and create a smooth surface that is easily cleaned and sterilized. This smooth and shiny appearance is not only one of the safest options to reduce surface contamination but it is also aesthetically pleasing in the crisp clean environment of a laboratory.

Passivation Benefits for Laboratories

One of the main benefits of using passivation in a laboratory setting is the reduction of corrosion. When working with chemicals and corrosive agents, it’s imperative that the laboratory equipment can hold up to these different factors. Passivation of laboratory equipment increases the resistance to corrosion, helps to prevent contamination, reduces the possibility of biofilm formation and prevents oxidation that can lead to rust.

Increasing Durability for Laboratory Equipment

Using an electropolishing service or chemical passivation on laboratory equipment has proven to lengthen the overall life of the tool, instrument or device. Both of these services provide a durable, cleanable, surface that is resistant to corrosion and is also rust-resistant. This will create a safer work environment within the lab and prevent the possibility of cross-contamination.
