Sparex® is a granular dry acid compound manufactured by Krohn Technical Products for pickling, cleaning and removing surface oxidation, scale, and incrustation
from metals.

Sparex® is an easy to use, longer lasting, safe replacement for dangerous sulfuric acid in effective cleaning and pickling of metals, and produces smooth, clean, bright surfaces quickly and economically, without destroying fine detail or tolerances by minimizing the risk of over-pickling, pitting, burning, and wire brushing. The prepared solution has 1½ times the available acid content of a 5% sulfuric acid solution and is more effective than citric acid pickle.

Use it to replace expensive acid or sodium bisulfate based plating neutralizers and activators. Mix Sparex(R) at half the strength recommended for pickling and use it as you would use the acid or sodium bisulfate based plating neutralizers and activators.

Use Sparex® No.2 for pickling gold, silver, and copper based alloys.

Available in

  • 10 oz. (makes 1 quart of solution)
  • 2½ pound bags (makes 1 gallon of solution)
  • 45lb Drum (makes 18 gallons of solution)

Leo X. ★★★★★

Picked up the 45lb bucket for a big restoration project, and the granular dry acid formula dissolves way faster than the liquid alternatives I've used before. It cut through years of scale on some old steel parts in under 15 minutes without any harsh fumes.

Scarlett T. ★★★★★

Took the 2.5LB tub out to the garage to strip rust off a bench vise, and the granular dry acid dissolved quickly in warm water with barely any smell. It ate through the scale in about ten minutes without me scrubbing, which is exactly the kind of low-effort pickling I was hoping for.

David ★★★★★

I got the 2.5LB container and it's been great for cleaning up the scale on my steel parts after forging. The granular acid dissolves quickly in water and works without any harsh fumes.
