4.4 Choice of electrolytes
With the electrolytes specified here you find a selection of the usually-used
electrolytes. Electrolytes for special materials can be supplied after attempt
markings in most cases.

Note
The electrolytes DE 20, DE 40 and DE 90 are electrolytes for deep marking and
must be processed with direct current (DC).
The electrolytes 67/6, 67/10/3 and 74 are noncorrosive and do not have to get
neutralized.
For the neutralization of ferrous metals the neutralyte N8 is suitable, for non-
ferrous metals the neutralyte N2 is suitable.
Clean noncorrosive materials after marking with warm water. Treat corrosion-
susceptible materials with ÖSTLING corrosion protection.
