Explanation:
Oi Simonete.

Posso estar errado, mas "refiner" não me parece certo nesse contexto. Mas como expliquei, trabalhei com o revestimento de latas, e o revestimento de chapas é outra história. Voltarei em breve! Abç

"Chemical pre-treatments involve the use of phosphates or chromates in submersion or spray application. These often occur in multiple stages and consist of degreasing, etching, de-smutting, various rinses and the final phosphating or chromating of the substrate." ("etching" aqui seria tratamento com ácido):
