OVERVIEW

Restore Your Welds with CGT-350

Achieving a perfect finish on stainless steel TIG welds doesn't have to be a hassle involving dangerous pickling pastes or wire brushes that ruin the surface profile. Cougartron CGT-350 Weld Cleaning Fluid offers a professional solution for welders who need to clean and passivate their work quickly and safely. This 1-gallon jug provides a generous supply of high-quality electrolyte fluid designed to remove those stubborn blue and rainbow heat tints that ruin the look of a finished product. Simply dip your weld cleaning brush into the fluid and apply it to the weld with your machine; the fluid works instantly to dissolve discoloration and leave a bright, clean, and rust-resistant surface.

One of the biggest headaches in the industry is shipping and storing harsh chemicals. CGT-350 solves this by using a milder, safer formula that is classified as non-dangerous goods. This means if you are in a rush and need fluid on the job site tomorrow, it can be shipped by air without the expensive hazmat fees or delays. Despite being safer to handle, it packs enough punch to handle most daily stainless steel cleaning jobs. It effectively restores the passive layer of the steel, ensuring your welds don't just look good when they leave the shop, but stay rust-free in the field. Compatible with all Cougartron machines, this fluid is a workshop essential for any fabricator working with stainless steel.
