OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Weld Cleaning and Passivation

Elevate your stainless steel finishing process with the Walter SURFOX-T Weld Cleaning Solution (1.5L). Engineered for the professional fabricator, this heavy-duty electrolyte solution is the industry standard for cleaning and passivating TIG, Spot, and Pulsed MIG welds. When used in conjunction with a SURFOX machine, this fluid facilitates an electrochemical reaction that instantly dissolves surface impurities and oxidation caused by the welding process, leaving behind a clean, passivated surface that resists rust and corrosion.

Why Choose SURFOX-T?

Traditional methods like wire brushing or grinding can leave iron particles embedded in the surface, leading to rust, while pickling pastes contain dangerous hydrofluoric acid. SURFOX-T eliminates these issues. It is a phosphoric acid-based solution that is free from the extreme hazards of HF and nitric acids, making it a much safer choice for your shop floor. It allows you to achieve a pristine finish that matches the base metal's appearance, preserving the aesthetic and structural integrity of your workpiece.

Certified Results

Quality assurance is critical in industrial welding. SURFOX-T is backed by key certifications that validate its performance:

  • ASTM A967 / ASTM 380: Certified for chemical passivation of stainless steel parts.
  • NSF Registration: Approved for use in food plant applications, ensuring compliance for sanitary welding projects.

This 1.5-liter (51 oz) bottle is designed for efficiency and ease of use. The clear, odorless liquid works quickly to remove light scaling and discoloration, ensuring your production line keeps moving. Whether you are fabricating food processing equipment, pharmaceutical tanks, or architectural stainless steel, SURFOX-T delivers the consistent, high-quality results professionals demand.

FAQ

Surfox-T is a heavy-duty electrolyte solution composed primarily of phosphoric acid and other additives, making it effective for cleaning without the use of hydrofluoric acid.

Yes, Surfox-T is NSF registered, which means it is approved for use in food plant applications where incidental food contact may occur, provided the surface is rinsed properly.

Yes, Surfox-T is ASTM A967 (ASTM 380) certified for passivation. It removes iron contaminants and promotes the formation of the passive chromium oxide layer that protects stainless steel from rust.

Surfox-T is specifically formulated for stainless steel. Using it on aluminum is generally not recommended as it is an acidic solution designed for the metallurgy of stainless steel.

Surfox-T is a much safer alternative to pickling paste. It does not contain hydrofluoric or nitric acid, produces fewer hazardous fumes, and works instantly with an electrochemical machine rather than requiring long dwell times.

It is formulated for the most demanding applications, including TIG, Spot, and Pulsed MIG welds, and is capable of removing light scaling.

Yes, after cleaning with Surfox-T, the surface should be neutralized (typically with Surfox-N) and rinsed with water to stop the acidic reaction and prevent salt residues.
