54A006 - Walter SURFOX-T Heavy-Duty Weld Cleaning Electrolyte Solution, 5L

Heavy-Duty Electrochemical Cleaning for Industrial Applications

The Walter SURFOX-T Weld Cleaning Electrolyte Solution (54A006) represents a significant advancement in the chemical treatment of stainless steel surfaces. Engineered for the most rigorous industrial environments, this heavy-duty electrolyte is formulated to work in conjunction with electrochemical cleaning systems to remove heat tint, discoloration, and light scaling generated during welding processes. Unlike traditional mechanical removal methods that can alter the surface finish or introduce contaminants, SURFOX-T utilizes the power of electrolysis to clean and passivate the metal surface simultaneously, restoring the chromium oxide layer essential for corrosion resistance.

Technically, SURFOX-T is built upon a phosphoric acid base, deliberately excluding highly toxic agents such as hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid. This formulation strategy aligns with modern safety standards while maintaining aggressive cleaning capabilities required for TIG, Spot, and Pulsed MIG welds. The solution is fully certified to ASTM A967 and ASTM 380 standards for passivation, ensuring that the treated components meet strict quality control specifications regarding corrosion resistance. This makes it an indispensable consumable for fabrication shops dealing with critical structural components or aesthetic architectural steelwork.

Furthermore, the product carries NSF registration, validating its suitability for use in facilities where food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing equipment is manufactured or maintained. The 5-liter format provides a substantial volume for continuous production environments, minimizing downtime associated with fluid replenishment. By replacing hazardous pickling pastes with SURFOX-T, facility managers can significantly reduce the health risks posed to operators and lower the environmental burden of waste disposal, all while achieving superior metallurgical results on stainless steel substrates.
