Avesta Classic Pickling Gel 122

Avesta Classic Pickling Gel 122 is used to treat stainless steel surfaces that have been damaged by working operations such as welding, forming, cutting and blasting. It removes welding oxides, the underlying chromium-depleted layer, micro-slag particles and other contaminants that may cause local corrosion.

This gel is specifically intended for standard brush pickling of weld seams and smaller surfaces.

The free-flowing pickling gel

Avesta Classic Pickling Gel 122 is more free-flowing than a pickling paste to facilitate the application and to give a high coverage. It can hence be used to clean with a good result not only weld seams but also smaller stainless steel surfaces.

• Standard and more highalloyed steel grades such as 304, 316, 904 L
• Cold and hot rolled plates
• MIG/FCW/stick electrode welds
• Brush pickling of weld seams and smaller surfaces
• Use and storage in warmer climates (the gel is heat-stable up to +45°C)
