69950 - Avesta BlueOne 130 Stainless Steel Weld Cleaner 2.4kg

Professional Grade Weld Cleaning

If you weld stainless steel, you know that the job isn't finished until the beads are cleaned and the heat tint is gone. Avesta BlueOne Pickling Paste 130 is the industry standard for getting that clean, professional look on your stainless projects. This 2.4 kg jar is a workhorse for any shop, providing enough material to handle hundreds of feet of weld seams. It is designed to strip away the ugly discoloration and oxidation that happens during MIG, TIG, or Stick welding, leaving you with a uniform, matte finish that looks great and holds up against rust.

See Where You Work

One of the most practical features of this paste is its bright blue color. When you are brushing acid onto a shiny metal surface, it can be hard to tell where you've been with clear or white pastes. The BlueOne paste stands out clearly, so you never miss a spot or accidentally waste product by going over the same area twice. It also has a great texture—it's smooth enough to brush on quickly but thick enough to stay put. If you are cleaning vertical seams on a tank or pipe, this stuff won't run down the side and make a mess.

Safer for the Shop

Nobody likes breathing in chemical fumes. Avesta developed the BlueOne formula specifically to cut down on the nasty nitric fumes that usually come off pickling paste. While you still need your PPE and good ventilation, this paste generates significantly less vapor than older style products, making it a much better choice for daily use. It works on all the common stainless grades you run into, like 304 and 316. Just brush it on, let it sit for the recommended time (usually 20 to 60 minutes depending on the temperature and steel grade), and blast it off with a pressure washer. The result is a clean, passivated weld that won't rust out on your customer.
