S-Weld Passivator Gel
For the passivation of stainless steel
  • Gel consistency for ease of application
  • Enhancement of chrome oxide corrosion resistant (passive) layer
  • Dissolves any residual surface contamination
  • Improved quality of fabricated product

Description

Callington S-Weld Passivator gel is a powerful oxidising gel for the passivation of stainless steel, duplex steel and Inconel alloys. S-Weld Passivator can be used following pickling, grinding or mechanical polishing of stainless steel to ensure a passive surface is obtained prior to installation or commissioning of the final product.

Direction for use

1. Surface should be pre-cleaned to remove oils and greases before applying passivating agent. Use Callington S-Weld Brite Wash. Any contamination will shorten the life of the passivating gel.

2. Stir the gel to ensure a smooth consistency and apply S-Weld Passivator using the acid resistant brush provided.
