New wipes for weld cleaning

Italian stainless steel weld cleaning equipment manufacturer, Nitty- Gritty, has launched a new weld pickling and passivation concept with its Pick & Clean product range.

UK agent,Meister Abrasives UK, will provide sales and technical support.

The product comprises two key elements. Pick is a wipe soaked with a pickling acid gel solution that is applied to the weld area. Developed for stainless steel, it is said to be particularly suitable for the pickling and passivation of TIG/MIG/Electrode welding on austenitic stainless steel.

The residue of the pickling gel is then removed and neutralised using Clean, a neutraliser wipe, soaked with a suitable agent. The two-step process is said to be economical and environmentally beneficial.
