Z*Acryl Etching System
Z*Acryl Etching System eliminates the use of organic solvents, rosins and varnishes from the etching studio. The vertical etching tank was designed by Z*Acryl to promote the use of ferric chloride. Z*Acryl hardground emulsion is a nontoxic alternative to asphaltum based grounds.Vertical Etching Tank:
$190.00 each
1/4" thick molded polyethylene. The form-fitting lid minimizes evaporation; a built in funnel allows the tank to be easily and safely filled. Any etchant may be used, however the Z*Acryl Tank was designed to promote the use of ferric chloride. The large tank will etch two full 18" x 24" plates, yet it uses 80% less studio space than does a traditional bath-style tray.
