WELC3176 - Cougartron CGT-N1 Post-Weld Neutralizer - 1 Gallon

The Secret to a Perfect Stainless Finish

You've spent time laying the perfect bead and using your weld cleaner to zap away the heat tint, but the job isn't done until you neutralize. Cougartron CGT-N1 Neutralizing Fluid is the essential final step for any welder using an electrochemical cleaning machine. If you have ever cleaned a weld only to come back later and find ugly white marks or a cloudy haze on the metal, that is dried acid residue. It happens when the cleaning fluid isn't fully removed or neutralized. This 1-gallon jug of CGT-N1 is the solution to that problem, ensuring your stainless steel looks as good as the day it was rolled.

Using this fluid is incredibly simple but makes a massive difference in your results. Once you have finished cleaning the weld with your brush and cleaning fluid, simply spray or wipe the CGT-N1 generously over the area. It instantly stops the acid from working, effectively "killing" the chemical reaction. This prevents those stubborn white stains from forming and ensures that no corrosive residue is left behind to eat at the metal later. It acts as a safety net for your work, guaranteeing that the shiny, clean surface you revealed stays that way.

This 1-gallon size is perfect for busy shops where you are cleaning welds all day. You can decant it into a spray bottle for easy access at the bench or on the job site. It works with all Cougartron machines and fluids, so you don't need to worry about compatibility. Think of it as the rinse cycle for your welding project—it washes away the harsh chemicals and preps the metal to heal itself (passivate) naturally. Don't skip this step; keep a jug of CGT-N1 on hand to ensure every job you send out the door is clean, professional, and corrosion-free.
