AVESTA PICKLING GEL 122
WAPG02L & WAPG15L
Pickling Gel 122 removes superficial micro-slag particles that may cause local corrosion. The Pickling process
accelerates the rebuilding of the chromium oxide layer which is damaged by working operations such as
welding, blasting, cutting and forming.
To assist pickling, this process may sometimes be combined with some form of simultaneous mechanical
treatment, for example brushing.
After pickling, the work piece should be thoroughly rinsed with low pressure high volume tap water. This is to
reduce the risk of atomizing any paste residue before high-pressure water jet cleaning. And then best results
are achieved by using a high-pressure water jet. This operation instantly passivates the steel surface. In this
way the surface is passivated quicker otherwise the passivation reaction may take up to 12 hours. Please make
sure that there is adequate personal protection by protecting all exposed parts of the body with acid resistant
clothing and proper protection for the eyes and face.
APPLICATIONS
Standard steel grades such as 304, 316 and 2205.
Assures fast pickling, thereby reducing labor costs.
Paste is water soluble and therefore easy to remove.
Can be used on cold and hot rolled plate.
Medium to thick welding oxides (e.g. TIG, MIG, SMAW
& SAW)
Applied with a brush.
Rinse methodically.
Treat waste water before discharging.
Available in 2L Jars and 15L containers
Avesta pickling paste and pickling gel follow the
recommendations of ASTM A-380 A.1 and BS CP-312.

AVESTA BLUEONE 130
PICKLING PASTE
WABP02L & WABP15L
BlueOne Pickling Paste 130 is a unique patented pickling paste that creates a better working environment.
BlueOne makes it possible to pickle virtually without the toxic nitric fumes that are normally formed during
pickling. BlueOne 130 is a universal paste that can be used on most stainless steel grades.
To assist pickling, this process may sometimes be combined with some form of simultaneous mechanical
treatment, for example brushing.
After pickling, the work piece should be thoroughly rinsed with low pressure high volume tap water. This is to
reduce the risk of atomizing any paste residue before high-pressure water jet cleaning. And then best results

clothing and proper protection for the eyes and face.
APPLICATIONS
Standard steel grades such as 304 and 316.
Cold rolled plate.
Standard 2D finishes.
Medium welding oxides (e.g. TIG, MIG).
Paste agitation (bubbling when applied) helps lift
oxides.
Low NOx levels. Up to 70% fume reduction when
compared to standard paste.
Blue color identification making it easier to see when
applying and when washing off.
The paste is free flowing, hence gives a good
penetration of the weld joint.
Lower consumption, covering more area making it
more economical.
Applied with a brush.
Rinse methodically.
Treat waste water before discharging.
Available in 2L Jars and 15L containers.
Avesta pickling paste and pickling gel follow the
recommendations of ASTM A-380 A.1 and BS CP-312.
AVESTA NEUTRALISING
AGENT 502
WANP02L
After pickling, the waste water is acidic and contaminated with heavy metals, mainly iron, Chromium and
Nickel that have been dissolved from the steel. The waste water must therefore undergo neutralization and
treated in accordance with local regulations. Avesta Neutralising Agent 502 provides a simple method for
handling the acidic waste water after rinsing. By adding this product, the waste water will achieve an adjusted
pH-value of 7 to 10, and the dissolved metals such as chromium and nickel will be precipitated.
APPLICATIONS
Add the neutralising agent to the rinse water while
stirring.
The action takes place instantly.
Check pH level and adjust the pH to the local area
regulations by adding more neutralising agent.
When pH has reached an acceptable level time should
be allowed for the sludge to sink to the bottom and the
water to become clear.
If analysis shows that the treated water to be in
accordance with local regulations it may be let out into
the sewage system or recycled.
In order to increase the degree of treatment, an extra
filter can be inserted before the water reaches the
sewer.
The sludge which contains heavy metals, should be
sent to a heavy metals waste treatment plant.
