54A131 - Walter Surfox-M Aluminum Electrochemical Marking Electrolyte 100ml

Permanent Aluminum Identification with Surfox-M Alu

The Walter Surfox-M Alu (54A131) is a specialized electrolyte solution designed exclusively for the electrochemical marking of aluminum surfaces. In the world of industrial fabrication, traceability and branding are essential. Whether you need to apply serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, or company logos, Surfox-M Alu provides a professional, high-contrast black mark that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Unlike stickers that peel off or ink that fades, the electrochemical process alters the surface properties to create a permanent bond, ensuring your identification marks withstand the test of time and harsh environments.

Safe and Efficient Marking Process

Designed for use with Walter's Surfox weld cleaning systems (when equipped with the appropriate marking kit), this solution utilizes AC current to oxidize the aluminum surface instantly. This method is significantly safer than traditional acid etching pastes, which pose health risks to operators and require strict disposal protocols. Surfox-M Alu is formulated to be user-friendly and efficient, allowing fabricators to mark parts quickly without interrupting their workflow. The 100ml bottle is perfectly sized for the marking process, where only small amounts of fluid are needed to achieve crisp, clear results.

Preserving Surface Integrity

One of the key advantages of using Surfox-M Alu over mechanical marking methods like engraving or stamping is the preservation of the base material's integrity. Mechanical methods can introduce stress risers or micro-cracks in the aluminum, which can be detrimental in high-stress applications such as aerospace or automotive components. Electrochemical marking with Surfox-M Alu is a non-contact, non-destructive process that leaves the surface smooth and structurally sound while delivering a bold, black mark that is easily readable by both human eyes and scanners.

Application and Compatibility

This solution is specifically engineered for aluminum alloys. It is an essential accessory for workshops that work with aluminum and require a reliable method for part identification. To use, simply apply the solution to the marking pad/wand of your Surfox machine, place your permanent or disposable stencil on the workpiece, and pass the wand over the stencil. The reaction is immediate, leaving a dark, permanent mark. It is compatible with the PRO marking kits available for Surfox machines.
