Do you have a formula for Manganese Phosphate solution ? for Parkerising. Brownells [linked by editor to
Brownells website] have one in the USA but it is not available in Australia, and they won't send it due to probs
sending Chems by post or Courier..

Where is a source of Manganese phosphate, I have googled it to death with no luck. All refer to using it
but where do you get it?

Hi, Jan. Manganese phosphate in this sense is not a commodity chemical, but a chemical process which
you buy from a manufacturer or distributor of metal finishing chemicals. You can start in our Chemicals &
Consumables directory and look for "phosphate". Good luck.
