Surfox Etching Electrolyte Solution 100 mL Bottle

SKU CH-CYW3-Y0YEV

A 100 mL bottle of clear, pH-neutral etching electrolyte for stainless steel that is non-flammable, VOC-free and not WHMIS-controlled

  • Product typeTools
  • Etches stainless steel welds cleanly using Surfox-E series electrolyte
  • 100 mL bottle provides enough solution for multiple etching jobs
  • pH-neutral formula at 7 pH protects base metal during etching
  • VOC-free and non-flammable liquid improves workplace safety
  • Not controlled under WHMIS simplifies handling and storage requirements

Product Identity

Surfox Etching Electrolyte Solution is a pH-neutral, non-flammable liquid formulated for stainless steel surface preparation. It comes in a 100 mL bottle and is designed for use with Surfox-E series equipment. The clear solution contains zero VOCs and is not controlled under WHMIS regulations.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your existing Surfox-E system matches manufacturer model numbers 54B080 or 54B081 before ordering. Ensure you have Surfox Pre-Weld cleaner available for the required pre- and post-etch surface treatment. Confirm the workpiece material is stainless steel, as this electrolyte is compatible only with that substrate.

Upgrade Context

This solution replaces any depleted or expired Surfox-E electrolyte currently in your workshop. The jump is worth it when your existing fluid no longer delivers consistent etching results or when VOC-free, pH-neutral chemistry becomes a workplace requirement. It restores the original performance of compatible Surfox-E marking systems.

Questions about this item

Does the 100 mL bottle of Surfox etching electrolyte include the Surfox Pre-Weld cleaner or must it be purchased separately?

The bottle contains only the etching electrolyte; Surfox Pre-Weld is required to clean the surface before and after etching and is sold separately.

How do I know which Surfox-E model numbers this 100 mL etching electrolyte is compatible with?

The solution is compatible with manufacturer model numbers 54B080 and 54B081 in the Surfox-E series.

What does the 0 % VOC and pH 7 rating mean for everyday workshop use on stainless steel?

The electrolyte is non-flammable, not controlled under WHMIS, VOC free and pH neutral, so it can be used on stainless steel without special hazard handling.
