The RedOne Pickling Paste is a unique patented low-fuming pickling paste which reduces toxic nitric fumes by 50%. It is intended for powerful brush pickling of welds and smaller surfaces of high-alloy steel grades in tough applications. It restores damaged stainless steel surfaces such as weld seams, by removing weld oxides, the underlying chromium-depleted layer and other defects that may cause local corrosion. The formula produces a higher yield, decreased consumption, thanks to the visible red colour and its free-flowing consistency which facilitates application. The paste is easy to apply and highly visible. For non-heavy-duty applications we suggest the low fuming Avesta BlueOne™ Pickling Paste 130 in order to improve the environmental impact and safety when pickling.

Safety Precautions for Using Pickling Products – by Avesta

Pickling products are hazardous substances and must be handled with care. Certain rules must be followed to ensure that the working environment is good and safe:

1. Pickling chemicals must only be handled by persons with a sound knowledge of the health hazards associated with such chemicals. This means that the material safety data sheet (SDS) and the product label must be thoroughly studied before the chemicals are used.
2. Eating, smoking and drinking must be forbidden in the pickling area.
3. Employees handling pickling chemicals must wash their hands and faces before eating and after finishing work.
4. All parts of the skin that are exposed to splashing must be protected by an acid-resistant material such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This means that employees handling pickling chemicals (including during rinsing) must wear protective clothing as stipulated in the SDS for the product in question.
5. The pickling area must be ventilated.
6. To avoid unnecessary evaporation, the containers/jars must be kept closed.
7. To minimise the environmental impact, all pickling residues must be neutralised and all heavy metals separated from the process water and sent to a waste treatment plant.
