Product Dose

Palladium chloride test for active surfaces:

Passive steel does not liberate Hydrogen form Sulphuric acid. Palladium can absorb 900 times its own volume of Hydrogen by Adsorbsion and Occlusion. Hydrogen gas reduces Palladium Chloride PdCl2 easily to form black Palladium metal and Hydrogen Chloride.

H2 + PdCl2 = Pd + 2 HCl

This is the reason that Sulphuric acid or HCl  must be mixed with palladium chloride if the black precipitate of metal must be seen by the naked eye. Passive SS does not liberate hydrogen. Palladium Chloride results can be tested using a mass spectrometer too.

Rinse PdCl2 with DI water from a squirter as the black spot is active.
If free iron ( not oxidised iron ) is present on the SS surface the iron is oxidised by Palladium Chloride ( acid reagent solution ) to iron oxide.

4PdCl2 + 4 H2O + 3 Fe = 4 Pd + 8 HCl + Fe304

Palladium chloride comes in a small bottle with a dropper. The contact time should be 3 min minimum. The shelf life is one year if you keep it in the fridge in a coloured bottle.

we are also  supplying  it. Palladium chloride crystals or deliquiscent powder is soluble in water or alcohol.
