Dry Acid Salts form a cleaning solution when dissolved in water that can be used to activate, pickle a variety of metals. They are used primarily as an activation dip prior to plating. In this dip, the part to be plated is immersed in the acid pickle, which slightly etches the surface, removing oxides and preparing the part for electroplating.
