SEALING:
The dyed oxide film must be properly sealed properly using a hot sealing salt ANO SEAL CA-350 for best result.
Other Recommendation:
1) Ammonium compounds shall not be used for controlling of the pH or to buffer dye
bath solution.
2) The presence of ammonium compounds in the sealing solution may cause
leaching and loss of color.
3) Use sodium acetate for dye buffer.
4) Adequate care to be taken for proper rinsing to control drag-in for optimum tank life.
5) Dye may be dissolved separately outside the dye bath. Use demineralized water for
better dye bath stability.
6) The life of dye bath is reduced by water containing ammonium.
