Electrolytic Chemical Etching Marking Systems

The electrolytic marking system is based on a chemical etching process where the image on a stencil is transferred to an electrically conductive product by the action of electrolyte and electricity. The chemical etch marking process has the advantage of being easy to use and inexpensive, while still giving a high-quality mark.

Ostling Electrolytic Etch Systems utilize the highest industry standard in electronic controls for metal marking.

Chemical etching metal is widely used for cutlery, tools, medical instruments, sanitary hardware, ball bearings, and many other products.

Quality Marking Suited for All Types of Production

All types of products can be marked with high quality graphics and text. Products made of steel or non-ferrous metals, whether hardened, steam treated, burnished, nickel-plated, chrome-plated - large or small, flat or round, convex or concave in shape. Our electrolytes are designed to be corrosion-free on most surfaces, do not require any neutralization, and are generally considered to be non-hazardous.

Etch Marking Systems

Östling offers a wide variety of electrolytic chemical etching systems designed to solve even the most demanding applications. Low stress, high quality markings are our specialty. No part deformation occurs, while the mark remains indelible. Our manual or semi-automatic systems can be easily integrated into your current manufacturing process.
