Proprietary, Non-Toxic System
Consultation In Passivation, Inc. delivers truly effective, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and biodegradable cleaning and passivation services for critical stainless-steel systems. Our chemists pioneered the advanced chelation chemistries that define modern passivation—many of which are now imitated across the industry.
​
Unlike mineral acids and so-called “passive” chelants commonly used today, CIP’s proprietary chelation systems consistently deliver measurably superior results, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance and system integrity.
​
Our Proprietary Three-Step Process
​
Step One: Alkaline Chelation & Detergency
A staged alkaline chelation with concurrent detergency removes oils, residues, debris, and embedded inclusions within the stainless-steel microstructure, along with commonly encountered amphoteric contaminants.
​
Step Two: Acidic Chelation with Applied Reductants
This stage removes free iron, extraneous nickel, and their oxides while complexing weld heat tint from the HAZ. It also coordinates and removes surface and sub-surface ferrite that can compromise corrosion resistance.
​
Step Three: True Passivation
With contaminants eliminated, the final step promotes the formation of a robust, chromium-rich passive film. This process does more than create passivity—it supports the ongoing, self-healing mechanism essential for long-term protection.
​
When it comes to maintaining critical stainless-steel systems, compromise is not an option.
​
Because no two systems are alike, effective passivation demands expert analysis and chemistry tailored to your specific conditions. CIP’s approach delivers durable, trouble-free protection that can last for years—providing exceptional value while keeping critical systems corrosion-free.
​
Our proprietary chemistry represents the gold standard in guaranteed results. We are more than a service provider—we are a global service organization of highly trained chemists, scientists, and engineers, recognized worldwide as pioneers in Specialized Chelant Passivation.
We get results.
There is no such thing as “stainless” steel—only stain-resistant steel. To maximize corrosion resistance using a proven, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and biodegradable solution, contact the only company that can truly deliver it.
