Pikal® Paste for Metal Polishing
We consider this to be the ultimate polish for cleaning deposits off of polished metal surfaces in vacuum systems
Introduction:
Pikal® paste is not just another metal polish: It is a superb metal
polish. It has been formulated with an abrasive system that will not
scratch highly polished surfaces being exposed to conditions of UHV and
it contains a carrier (e. g. the suspending liquid) that quickly
evaporates leaving a surface that, when reinserted into the UHV
environment, will quickly pump down and not present problems with long
time off-gassing.
Pikal paste has found a number of other
applications where it has become the preferred polishing aid when a high
luster on a surface is needed. It is used on metal door knobs, metal
tableware including both silver and silver plate, musical instruments,
and other products made of nickel, chrome, and aluminum.Not for plastic
surfaces! The unique combination of abrasive particles that makes PIKAL
paste so effective on metal surfaces represents a hardness that is
greater than any plastic material. Therefore, use on a plastic will
surely start to abrade if not also scratch a shinny reflective surface.
Of course, some plastics are filled with hard inert fillers and might
not be adversely impacted by the use of the paste. But we urge caution
on the use ofPIKAL paste on plastics and if you should contemplate such
use, then be certain you do an appropriate level of testing since only
you can determine if PIKAL paste can be used in that

Options: Pikal Paste is available in both an oval tin (250g) and a tube
labeled as Pikal Care (150 g). The percent solids of Pikal Paste is
slightly higher and is formulated to be used dry. Pikal Care has a
slightly lower viscosity so that it can be more conveniently expelled
from a tube. For some, there is a preference for a smaller container and
being able to dispense the product from a tube. So although the two
products are not exactly the same, they are for all practical purposes,
nearly the same.
Use instruction: In our own laboratory, we like to
use Pikal paste with a SPI-Wipes™ lint-free cotton wiper. We literally
wrap some around the fore-finger, taking up some of the paste, and then
apply the paste to the surface to be cleaned and polished. The unique
combination of abrasive particles and organic extenders cause what seem
to be the most stubborn deposits for other polishing compounds, to
literally just "wipe way" with one or two "passes" of the finger with
the wiper and polish. A second lint free wiper dipped in Asahiklin®
AK225 Light Duty Degreaser (or acetone) removes almost all residues from
the polish and then a final cleaning using an ultrasonic cleaner and
Asahiklin® AK225 removes virtually all traces of the paste. If you
don't have Asahiklin® AK225, you can use as a substitute, acetone,
however exposure to acetone vapors is not desirable and should be
avoided if at all possible.
