German term or phrase: Beizen
This is a rack for electrodeposition. Could Beizen be referring to pickling agents used in the pre-treatment process?

Durch das Verschließen von Mikro- und Makrorissen in der PVC-Schicht wird eine Absorptionssperre für katalytisch wirkende Medien erreicht. Eine Inhibition dient der Vermeidung des Angriffs auf die PVC-Schicht. Dadurch wird vor allem die Beeinträchtigung des Gestells durch neuartige chromfreie Beizen reduziert und eine Metallisierung dieses Gestelles verhindert.
