TIG Mop - Weld Cleaning Alternative to Pickling Paste

TIG Mop:- Cost efficient, Safe, Environmentally friendly, Alternative to Pickling Paste

The new innative weld cleaning system from Craigtec uses the most up to date technology to clean TIG welds on all non-ferrous metals such as stainless steel copper and more.

Because the new TIG Mop uses electrochemical cleaning technology there is no need to use pickling paste anymore as it is a great alternative to pickling past and abrasion.

One of the greatest advantages of using the TIG Mop over pickling paste is being able to avoid harsh chemicals. The HSE are advising companies to try and stay clear of pickling paste and use alternatives such as the TIG Mop and other electrochemical cleaning processes.

Anyone who has ever used Pickling paste, which is a mixture of hydrofluoric and nitric acids, an extremely unpleasant and dangerous chemical will be amazed to see what the TIG Mop can achieve in such a simple action and such little time.

Instead of applying chemicals and waiting hours for them to take effect before washing them off using all the safety gear needed just to discover that you have missed a bit or the paste has left a white cloud or even finding days later find that you have not missed a bit whilst washing the paste off and find a corroded piece of your work. With the TIG Mop you do not need to wait for hours as the effects are instantaneous so if you miss a bit the just switch the machine back on and sort it out. No need to use harsh chemicals as the cleaning solution used with the TIG Mop is a benign acid so no harsh smells or burning of the skin. The health and safety risks are no worse than when actually welding the work. And best of all when it comes to washing the cleaning solution off the work piece you simply need to wipe with a damp cloth. If the solution gets left on the metal it will not corrode the metal or even leave a white cloud.

The TIG Mop uses pulse DC technology and could possibly be one of the greatest Weld cleaning machines on the market today. Because of the pulse DC technology the brush can powerful whilst still keeping the heat down. This means not only will the work not get extremely hot but it will also preserve the brush.

The brush that the TIG Mop used is the greatest component of this TIG weld cleaner machine. As the brush is made from special materials it can with stand the heat and the current passed through it. Which make it a great compared with the alternative pads previously used. The brush is so durable it can last not just hours but even days and weeks! The only wear is like any other brush like a tooth brush would wear out when you have used it too much.

The other innative feature of the brush is the ability to adjust the size. If you needed to do small jobs or just preferred having a smaller brush then the brush is retractable so no need to use a long sloppy brush when it is not needed wasting cleaning fluid and making a mess.

As well as all the great advantages that the machine has to offer, the company CraigTec are also an up and coming company to keep an eye out for. Not only are they very helpful and reliable but they are based in the UK. The UK is in need of more manufactures and companies as there is simply not enough being made in this country. Therefore CraigTec pride themselves on being UK based and using as many UK components to build their products as possible.
