The ABIBRUSH carbon fibre brush has around 1.5 million very fine filaments, which make it possible to get into narrow or difficult-to-access gaps or corners. The length of the brush bristles can be varied depending on the application. The brush of the ABIBRUSH is only a real ABICOR BINZEL product with the magenta fibre in the center.

The handle is ergonomically shaped and thus also prevents user fatigue, so that working with the brush is even suitable for continuous use. The threaded piece on the handle and the brush adapter are made of high quality stainless steel (1.4571) and are accordingly corrosion-resistant.

Binzel ABICLEANER 800 AC, 1000 AC/DC Parts FAQs

Handles, earth clamps, brushes, electrolyte and the containers that go with an electrochemical stainless steel weld cleaning machine.

What protection and checks do I need before using the electrolyte?

The acids used in electrochemical cleaning are mild compared with those in pickling pastes, but a chemical risk assessment is still needed, and it should consider whether PPE is necessary. Read the safety data sheet for the electrolyte you use, as many are acid-based and can harm skin and eyes.

Typical measures are chemical-resistant gloves, eye or face protection and suitable clothing, but the safety data sheet and your assessment decide what you need. Control any fumes with extraction where the assessment says so, and keep water close by for splashes. Never use a different liquid in place of the electrolyte the maker specifies.

Is electrochemical cleaning safer than pickling paste?

Pickling pastes typically contain hydrofluoric and nitric acid and can cause serious burns, and where post-weld cleaning cannot be avoided a less hazardous alternative should be considered. Electrochemical cleaning, with the workpiece as the anode in a dilute acid electrolyte, is one such alternative.

That does not make it risk free. The electrolyte is still an acid, a chemical risk assessment is still needed, and you should follow the safety data sheet. It also does not suit every job, so check what the specification for your work requires.

Why do I need to rinse after cleaning, and what is the spray bottle for?

Electrolyte should not be left on the surface once the weld has been cleaned. Residues are simply rinsed off with water, and a spray bottle of clean water is a simple way to rinse the area and the brush without flooding the work. Dry the surface afterwards.

Some electrolyte systems also use a separate neutraliser as a final step, so check what the instructions and safety data sheet for your electrolyte call for. Dispose of used liquid and rinse water according to the safety data sheet and local rules.

Can I use any electrolyte with my machine?

Use the electrolyte the machine and brush are intended for. The electrolyte, brush and power unit are designed as a system, and the brush may be matched to a particular electrolyte. A different chemical may clean poorly, damage the brush or harm the metal, and it changes the hazards you have assessed.

Some products are described as all-in-one, covering cleaning and passivation in a single liquid, while others use separate liquids for different jobs. Check the manual for what your machine needs. Never mix electrolytes, and always read the safety data sheet of the one you use.
