About TIG Brush
What is TIG Brush?
TIG Brush® is the industry-leading solution for stainless steel weld cleaning and passivation – combining the power of electricity, heat, and proprietary chemistry to deliver unmatched performance, safety, and efficiency.
Developed by Ensitech, TIG Brush is the result of years of innovation and research in metal surface finishing. At its core is our patented Dynamic Power Transfer® technology, engineered to maximise cleaning power across all operating conditions – ensuring fast, reliable results whether you’re handling large-scale industrial work or fine, precision welding.
TIG Brush systems are trusted globally for their ability to:
- Remove weld discoloration and oxides quickly
- Passivate stainless steel in a single step
- Protect and extend the life of metal surfaces
- Minimise user effort and environmental impact
Paired with our environmentally responsible cleaning fluids, TIG Brush offers not only superior performance but also a safer, more sustainable choice for modern fabrication.
Today, Ensitech continues to lead the way in stainless steel surface treatment – trusted by professionals across manufacturing, construction, food processing, pharmaceutical, and other demanding industries worldwide.
Our Story: Innovation Born from Necessity
TIG Brush’s origins are rooted in solving a real-world industrial challenge. In the early 2000s, Clive White, one of Ensitech’s founders, was approached by a friend working on a major project for McDonald’s. The task? To manufacture a stainless steel charity panel with a coin chute for donations. While the panel needed a polished, brushed finish, the welding process resulted in a common but stubborn issue-heat tint, which discolored the steel and destroyed the aesthetic finish.
Traditional methods of removing heat tint were inefficient and often damaged the material, leading Clive to use his background in electronics to find a better solution. Together with a friend, an aeronautical engineer, Clive developed a revolutionary new cleaning method that used electrical current and safe cleaning fluids to quickly and safely eliminate heat tint without damaging the steel surface.
This breakthrough led to the creation of the first TIG Brush units. Designed specifically to clean and restore the surface of stainless steel welds, these early machines were an instant success with local manufacturers, and the technology quickly gained traction across the industry.
What began as a solution to a specific problem has grown into a global brand synonymous with quality, safety, and efficiency in metal surface cleaning. TIG Brush continues to evolve, leading the way in innovation for metal surface finishing, and helping industries worldwide meet the highest standards of quality and precision.
