54A027 - SURFOX-N Neutralizing Solution 20L Jerry Can

Complete Neutralization for Electrochemical Cleaning

The Walter SURFOX-N 20L is a vital component in the electrochemical weld cleaning process, designed specifically to complement the SURFOX system. When using electrolyte solutions like SURFOX-T or SURFOX Renew to clean and passivate stainless steel welds, the active ingredient is typically a mineral acid. While these acids are highly effective at removing heat tint and oxides, they must be completely removed from the surface to prevent long-term damage. Simply rinsing with water is often insufficient; water merely dilutes the acid rather than chemically neutralizing it. If acidic residue remains, it continues to interact with the stainless steel, potentially leading to "frosting" (white salt residues) or even renewed corrosion over time.

SURFOX-N is an alkaline solution formulated to instantly react with and neutralize the acidic residues left behind by the cleaning process. By applying SURFOX-N immediately after the electrochemical cleaning step, you ensure that the chemical reaction is halted precisely when desired. This step is crucial for guaranteeing a truly passive surface that is resistant to environmental factors. The 20-liter format is ideal for industrial workshops and production lines where high volumes of stainless steel are processed regularly, ensuring you have an ample supply of neutralizer to match your electrolyte consumption.

In addition to its primary role as a neutralizer for SURFOX-T and SURFOX Renew, this solution is also effective for cleaning SURFOX-G. The formulation is designed to be safe on stainless steel surfaces while being tough on acidic residues. Integrating SURFOX-N into your workflow is not just a recommendation; it is a best practice for any fabricator aiming for high-quality, pharmaceutical, or food-grade stainless steel finishes. It ensures that the passivation process initiated by the SURFOX machine is successfully completed and locked in.

Using the correct chemical sequence protects your workpiece and your reputation. The SURFOX-N 20L container is designed for easy pouring or dispensing into spray bottles, making it a versatile addition to your chemical storage. Trust Walter Surface Technologies' engineering to provide the chemical balance needed for perfect stainless steel maintenance.
