7.2 General notes
Only process chemicals that have been tested and approved (e.g. VAH or
FDA approval or CE mark) and which are compatible with the product's
materials according to the chemical manufacturers' recommendations
may be used for processing the product. All the chemical manufacturer's
application specifications must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can
result in the following problems:

aluminum. For aluminum, the application/process solution only needs
to be of pH >8 to cause visible surface changes.

or swelling.
►
Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would dam-
age the product surface and could cause corrosion.
