Quality products for etching various metals

With the high-quality etching agents from Emil Otto, metal surfaces can be precisely labelled, signed or marked. Our portfolio enables the processing of materials such as copper, aluminium and various types of steel without mechanical procedures. In particular, chemical etching opens up a multitude of possible applications, from the visualisation of coarse grain and the testing of welded seams to the permanent labelling of individual workpieces. This versatility makes Emil Otto’s metal etching indispensable for both industrial applications and for craft businesses.

At Emil Otto, we have specialised in the development of etching agents that meet the most stringent requirements. Our products make it possible to process metal surfaces quickly and precisely, thereby replacing time-consuming processes such as hammering or engraving numbers, symbols and markings.

To be used after using the metal etcher

From testing and visualising metallic structures to permanent marking, our etching agents deliver reliable solutions.

Our products are not only suitable for conventional metals, but also for specific requirements, such as hardened or thin-walled workpieces. This makes them ideal for numerous applications in industry, trade, and for storage, testing, labelling, and control purposes. Our metal etchants are an indispensable component in modern metal processing.

In addition to our high-quality etching agents, we offer complementary solutions for temporary, preservative metal protection. This is applied after the metal etching process and protects the treated surfaces from corrosion and external influences. This not only ensures the longevity of the processed surfaces, but also provides effective protection during storage or further processing steps.

Versatile applications - from knives to aluminium

Our products are ideal for a wide range of applications and are not only used in industrial or craft activities. In meat processing companies, for example, our metal etching tools can be used to apply precise and permanent markings to knife blades. Even challenging metals such as aluminium, which is often considered difficult to work with, can be marked reliably and efficiently with our products. The same applies to copper: we offer specifically developed solutions that achieve impressive results even with delicate structures and perfectly fulfil your requirements.

Furthermore, we provide practical tools such as the etching pen that enables simple and precise application. This is particularly important when the labelling must be highly precise.

The availability of our Emil Otto products in different packaging sizes is a special advantage, which makes them equally attractive for industrial applications and smaller craft enterprises.

With our extensive experience in developing chemical products for metal processing and our clear focus on quality and innovation, we help our customers optimise their workflows. Our products are designed both to deliver precise results and to improve safety and handling in the work process.
