WELC3129 - Cougartron CGT-550 Electrochemical Cleaning and Polishing Fluid 5L

Professional Finish for Stainless Steel Welds

Elevate the quality of your stainless steel fabrication with the Cougartron CGT-550 Weld Cleaning & Polish Fluid. Designed for the discerning welder who refuses to compromise on aesthetics or durability, this fluid is the secret to achieving that perfect, mirror-like finish on TIG and MIG welds. When used with your electrochemical weld cleaning machine, the CGT-550 fluid conducts electricity to the workpiece, instantly dissolving the dark heat tint and discoloration caused by welding heat, without the need for aggressive mechanical grinding that can alter the surface profile.

What sets the CGT-550 apart is its specialized polishing formula. While standard fluids simply remove the blue and brown discoloration, the CGT-550 goes a step further by electropolishing the weld seam and heat-affected zone (HAZ). This results in a uniform, shiny appearance that blends seamlessly with the parent material, making it an excellent choice for high-visibility applications such as commercial kitchens, boat railings, and architectural features. Furthermore, the fluid guarantees passivation, chemically restoring the stainless steel's natural resistance to rust and oxidation, which is often compromised during the welding process.

Using the CGT-550 is straightforward and efficient. Simply dip your weld cleaning brush or wand into the fluid and apply it to the weld area while the machine is active. The reaction is immediate, and the fluid's viscosity is optimized to stay on the brush, reducing waste and mess. After cleaning, the area should be neutralized to remove any acidic residue, leaving you with a pristine, professional-grade weld. This 1.3-gallon (5L) container ensures you have ample supply for large projects, allowing you to maintain productivity without interruption.

Why Welders Choose CGT-550

• Superior Finish: Delivers a bright, polished look that enhances the overall appearance of the fabrication.
• Versatility: Effective on both light TIG welds and heavier MIG welds where oxidation is more severe.
• Efficiency: Cleans and passivates in a single pass, saving valuable labor time.
