Pelox Pickling Paste TSK Green 1kg (MAT0860) is a high-performance chemical gel used specifically for cleaning and restoring stainless steel after welding. It is the "gold standard" in South Africa for removing the unsightly black oxide scale and heat tint (annealing colors) from the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ).
Key Features
- Superior "Moist Phase": The TSK Green formula is a thick viscous gel designed to stay moist for longer. A longer moist phase allows the acids more time to react with the oxides, leading to a cleaner finish with less effort.
- All-Grade Compatibility: While many pastes struggle with higher-grade alloys, Pelox TSK Green is suitable for all grades of stainless steel, including 304, 316, and 316L.
- Stronger Action, Shorter Time: It features a highly reactive formula that significantly reduces the waiting time compared to generic pickling gels.
- User-Friendly: Formulated to have a lower odor and contains no Hydrochloric or Sulphuric acids (relying instead on Nitric and Hydrofluoric acids for precise pickling).
