OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Acid Neutralization

The Cougartron CGT-N1 Neutralizing Fluid is a critical component in the electrochemical weld cleaning process, designed to ensure the longevity and aesthetic quality of stainless steel surfaces. After using aggressive weld cleaning fluids or pickling pastes to remove heat tints and discoloration, acidic residues often remain on the metal surface. If left untreated, these residues can continue to react with the steel, leading to the formation of white, salty marks known as "acid sweating" or potential corrosion issues down the line.

This 1.3-gallon (5 Liter) container provides an ample supply for high-volume fabrication shops. The fluid is formulated to immediately neutralize the pH balance of the surface, effectively stopping the chemical reaction of the cleaning acid. By applying CGT-N1, you ensure that the passivation process is correctly finalized, leaving the stainless steel clean, streak-free, and fully protected against environmental elements.

Key Benefits

  • Surface Protection: Prevents the reappearance of white acid residue marks.
  • Safety: Neutralizes harmful acids, making the surface safe to touch and handle.
  • Efficiency: Easy to apply using a spray bottle immediately after the cleaning process.
  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Cougartron weld cleaning systems and other electrochemical cleaning methods.

For optimal results, simply spray the neutralizing fluid onto the cleaned area, wipe it down with a clean cloth, and rinse with water if required by your specific process protocols. It is an indispensable step for any professional welder seeking a perfect finish on stainless steel fabrications.

FAQ

Its main purpose is to neutralize acid residues left on stainless steel surfaces after electrochemical weld cleaning, preventing white marks and corrosion.

It is best applied using a spray bottle directly onto the cleaned weld area immediately after the weld cleaning process, then wiped off.

Yes, while designed for Cougartron systems, it effectively neutralizes acid residues from most electrochemical weld cleaning processes.

No, this fluid is a neutralizer. You must use a weld cleaning fluid (acid) to remove the heat tint first, then use this to clean up the acid.

Skipping this step can lead to the formation of white, salty acid marks on the surface and may compromise the passivation layer.

Yes, 1.3 US Gallons is approximately 5 Liters, which is the standard metric volume for this container.

It is generally recommended to use the fluid as supplied to ensure maximum neutralizing efficiency, but always check the specific bottle instructions.

It is generally safer than the cleaning acids, but standard safety gear (gloves, eye protection) should always be worn when handling industrial chemicals.
