OVERVIEW

Professional Branding for Your Stainless Projects

Take your stainless steel fabrication to the next level with the Walter Standard Surfox Marking Kit. You've already invested in a Surfox machine to get the cleanest, most passivated welds in the industry—now use that same power to sign your work. This kit is the ultimate add-on for fabricators who want to leave a permanent mark of quality on their products. Whether you need to add a company logo, a serial number for traceability, or a QR code for inventory management, this kit makes it fast, easy, and incredibly professional.

Forget about messy paint markers that fade, stickers that peel off, or expensive laser engraving services that slow down your production line. The Surfox Marking Kit uses the power of electricity to permanently mark the metal itself. It's like a tattoo for your steel. Want a bold, black mark that stands out? Switch your machine to AC mode and use the included Surfox-M solution. Prefer a clean, white etched look? Switch to DC mode and use the Surfox-E solution. The choice is yours, and the results are instant.

Why Fabricators Love It:

  • Versatility: One tool does both dark marking and white etching.
  • Speed: Marks are created in seconds, keeping your shop moving.
  • Durability: The marks are permanent and won't wash off with solvents or wear away easily.
  • Ease of Use: Simply plug the wand into your Surfox machine, dampen the pad, place your stencil, and swipe. It's that simple.

This kit comes with everything you need to get started, including the marking wand and starter bottles of both electrolyte solutions. It works with custom stencils you can order or print, giving you complete creative control over your branding. Don't just finish the job; put your name on it with the Walter Surfox Marking Kit.

FAQ

Marking (AC mode) creates a black oxide layer on the surface using SURFOX-M solution, which is high-contrast and permanent. Etching (DC mode) removes a small amount of material using SURFOX-E solution to create a white, engraved look.

No, the Walter Standard Surfox Marking Kit is designed to be compatible with all SURFOX weld cleaning machines. You simply connect the marking wand in place of the cleaning wand.

This kit and its electrolytes are specifically formulated for stainless steel. Using it on other metals like aluminum or carbon steel may not yield satisfactory results or could cause corrosion.

Yes, the electrochemical process creates a permanent modification to the metal surface. The black marks are resistant to chemicals and mechanical wear, and the white etchings are physically engraved into the metal.

You can use disposable stencils printed with a specialized thermal printer or order permanent, reusable stencils for logos and frequently used text. The kit works with both types.

The electrochemical marking process is non-destructive and generally maintains the surface integrity. However, for critical applications, it is recommended to clean and neutralize the area after marking to ensure full passivation.

You will eventually need to replenish the SURFOX-M (marking) and SURFOX-E (etching) solutions, as well as the marking pads and O-rings if they wear out.

The SURFOX electrolytes are chemical solutions and should be handled with care according to the SDS. However, they are generally safer than the strong pickling pastes used in traditional acid etching.
