Frequently Asked Questions
Ensitech stainless steel marking fluids are some of the safest metal marking fluids available on the market. Our team makes sure that they are just as safe for users as they are compatible with the TIG Brush system. The formulations use high-quality components to deliver unmatched results.
Yes. Ensitech offers safe and low-risk weld cleaning fluids. Our products use mild electrolyte solutions rather than hydrofluoric and nitric acid solutions
Ensitech electrolyte weld cleaning fluids are low risk, they are made from analytical grade components so they are scientifically safer to use than hydrofluoric and nitric acid weld cleaning solutions. You won’t run into any safety issues when using our electrolyte cleaning solutions with your TIG Brush weld cleaning systems.
Yes, weld cleaning solutions are safe to use provided they are used in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and with the appropriate PPE.
Ensitech’s weld cleaning fluids are NSF approved, meaning they are safe to use even in the stringent food industries. The fastest weld cleaning fluids are acidic, but are safe to use when used according to recommendations. For the safety conscious there is a ph neutral fluid, which is completely safe and low risk. The wide range of fluids cater to different customer needs, giving you the confidence that you are able to select the best fluids for your particular application. You should have no qualms using Ensitech fluid range as a part of your TIG Brush weld-cleaning process.
As a precautionary note, you may run into safety issues when using “Pickling Pastes” to clean stainless-steel welds, as these usually contain hydrofluoric and/or nitric acid. If you are using Pickling Paste to do weld cleaning, consider switching to the safer, scientifically proven Ensitech electrolytic weld cleaning solutions as soon as possible.
Yes. All electrochemical weld cleaners have a 24-month warranty. Users may get in touch with our offices in Aurora, IL in the US, Emu Plains, NSW in Australia or simply fill in the online warranty activation form on this website.
Weld cleaning fluid solutions are specially formulated for the electrochemical weld cleaning process, which erases the heat affected zone (HAZ) and repassivates the surface after TIG and MIG welding. Neutralizing solutions are used after the initial weld cleaning process to remove any acidic traces of the weld cleaning fluid and inhibit the appearance of white residue.

TIG Brush encourages manufacturers and end-users to explore all options before purchasing neutralizing fluid solutions. One of the most important factors to consider when choosing weld cleaning machine fluids is the solution’s compatibility with the weld cleaning fluid solution.
There’s an Ensitech weld cleaning machine fluid for all stages of the weld cleaning process.
Separated by handy sub-categories, we encourage you to browse all of our products on this page above. Our weld cleaning solutions are divided into the following categories:
- Pre-weld cleaning
- Neutralizing the surface
- Cleaning the surface
- Finishing
- Printing and Engraving
For more information, check out our resources and information page where you can download all of the extra literature you require, all provided in handy pdf documents designed to assist you when you need it.
Choose the right weld cleaning solution for the right phase of the job and finish with an end product that you can be proud of.
TIG Brush systems might serve various applications. But when it comes to metal marking fluid solutions, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Our team can explain the Printing and Engraving fluids to you in detail. Alternatively, you can experiment on your own using our sample packs.
Ensitech features different types of fluid solutions for different stages of the weld cleaning process. The products fall into various categories including pre-weld, weld cleaning, neutralizing, finishing and branding. Our resources and information page has more information about this.
Before using any type of stainless steel neutralizing fluid, it’s important to rinse off all traces of the weld cleaning fluid with clean water. Then, after applying the neutralizing fluid, conduct a final water rinse to make sure there are no more residual acids on the stainless steel surface.
Conduct this neutralizing process as soon as possible after the weld cleaning process. This eliminates the formation of white frosting on the end product.

Ensitech is a globally renowned stainless steel marking fluid manufacturer. We take pride in heavy research and development of pre- and post-weld cleaning fluids. The team formulates a variety of premium fluid solutions depending on your application and the results you hope to achieve.
Extensive laboratory testing has confirmed that Ensitech’s weld cleaning process passivates stainless steels in accordance with ASTM international standards. The intense heat generated during welding of stainless steel causes oxidation and chromium depletion in the alloy’s surface layer, as well as unsightly heat tint around the weld area. Independent testing by Gauge Industrial and Environmental, using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), has shown that cleaning with a TIG Brush and genuine TIG Brush fluids remove all detectable oxides from the weld zone, and return chromium levels in the surface layer to greater levels than found in the original unwelded surface.
The tests found cleaning with a TIG Brush to produce results superior to pickling paste, together with the safety aspect of TIG Brush technology. These results have also been confirmed by an independent passivation report conducted by The Welding Institute (TWI) in Cambridge. A key finding of the report concluded: “All the TIG Brush chemical variants studied improve the corrosion resistance of a welded sample, such that the corrosion rate is reduced to below that of unwelded steel.”
Weld cleaning fluids are essential to electrochemical weld cleaning processes. The liquid product removes the heat affected zone (HAZ) after TIG and MIG welding processes. Neutralizing weld cleaning fluids are typically applied to the surface afterwards to remove acidic residues.
Weld cleaning fluids are used during the TIG Brush electrochemical weld cleaning process. The fluid is designed to be safe at room temperature, but aggressively remove the heat-tint found on stainless steel welds after TIG and MIG welding.
Ensitech manufacture a range of weld-cleaning fluids catering for different user needs. The range of fluids also includes pre-welding fluids for the removal of surface corrosion or contamination before welding takes place.
Each weld cleaning solution has a corresponding neutralizing solution which brings to an end the weld-cleaning process and prevents white residues from forming later.
The optimal combination of fluids will depend on the type of weld being cleaned, the safety regulations of the industry, and what priority is placed on cleaning speed versus degree of finish.

Electrochemical weld cleaning is essentially a process of cleaning away surface contamination and oxidization caused by the welding process. Electropolishing removes a microscopic layer of the surface.
