Electropolishing Abel developed “Belclean,” an electropolishing process that smooths and brightens stainless steel without oils or abrasives—ideal for precision equipment in pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, food, and energy. Learn more
Chemical Polishing Chemical polishing dissolves the stainless-steel surface through a chemical reaction in a special solution. It’s suited for cleaning, scale removal, and polishing complex shapes where electropolishing is difficult. Learn more
