DESCRIPTION
K2 Pickling & Passivation Paste is a thixotropic chemical preparation designed for cleaning and passivating stainless steel surfaces, especially after welding. It effectively removes weld burns, heat tint, rust, annealing colors, scale, and other contaminants, restoring the bright, corrosion-resistant surface of stainless steel. This product is favored in industries such as fabrication, piping, pharmaceutical, food processing, and chemical plant maintenance. The paste is applied directly onto weld seams and adjacent areas, then left to react before rinsing resulting in a passive, clean, and smooth stainless steel finish. Application of a passivation solution is essential after pickling for optimal corrosion resistance.
