Callington S-Weld Clean Pickling Gel 2.5Kg

DESCRIPTION
S-Weld Clean utilises innovative Australian technology for the formulation of a high adhesion
stainless steel pickling gel. It is used to remove the black oxide scale burn marks and heat tint caused
during welding on the stainless steel. S-Weld Clean leaves a clean professional finished look on the
stainless-steel weld area. It is suitable for use on stainless steels, duplex steel and Inconel alloys.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Conforms to standard ASTM a380
• One step treatment for easy application
• Comes complete with an acid resistant application brush
• Completely water rinseable allowing no time loss for extra cleaning
• Can be used on vertical and overhead surfaces
• Controlled application which eliminates product wastage
• Removes black welding scale, discolouration and corrosion on stainless steel
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Clean the weld area carefully using a stainless-steel brush.
2. Roll or shake the drum of S-Weld Clean, for 30 seconds prior to opening the container to
ensure a smooth consistency, especially if the product has not been used for a long time.
3. After welding, ensure the area to be pickled has sufficient time to cool below 40°C.
4. Apply the S-Weld Clean gel to the area to be pickled with the brush provided.
DO NOT PICKLE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
5. Application times may vary depending on ambient temperatures, the grade of stainless steel,
surface finish or the method of welding. On a hot rolled surface, the pickling time may
increase by 50%. MIG welds may require longer pickling times than those obtained using
covered electrodes. Allow the pickling gel or solution sufficient time to react with the surface.
With high ambient temperatures or when longer pickling times are required, it may be
necessary to repeat the process. Do not allow the pickling agent to dry on the surface. Should
the product dry on the surface wash down, dry and repeat the process
