SURFOX Electrolyte Solutions – Neutralization Process and Application
SURFOX electrolyte solutions, including SURFOX-T, SURFOX Renew, and SURFOX-G, are designed for effective weld cleaning and passivation of stainless steel. These solutions work based on a mineral acid that facilitates the electrochemical cleaning and polishing of weld surfaces. However, proper neutralization is essential to stop the action of the acid and ensure the surface integrity of the stainless steel.
Key Neutralization Information:
-
Essential Neutralization: After using SURFOX-T, SURFOX Renew, or SURFOX-G, it is crucial to neutralize the acid to prevent continued interaction with the stainless steel surface.
-
Water Rinsing is Not Enough: Rinsing with water alone will not fully neutralize the acid. It will only dilute the solution, which can lead to ongoing surface reaction.
-
Use Neutralizing Solution: A proper neutralizing solution should be used to completely stop the action of the acid and protect the surface from further chemical interaction.
Why Proper Neutralization is Important:
-
Prevents Surface Damage: Incomplete neutralization can lead to corrosion or discoloration on the weld surface.
-
Ensures Lasting Results: Proper neutralization ensures a clean, passivated surface with no residual acidic action, maintaining the quality of the stainless steel.
-
Enhanced Performance: Neutralization optimizes the long-term performance and appearance of welded stainless steel components.
