Anti-Spatter Chemical

An anti-spatter chemical product can help protect your welder parts and finished work pieces from welding spatter on the job. There are a variety of anti-spatter products to choose from including:

• Nozzle Dip Gel - prevents clogging on the welding tips.
• Shield Spray - helps protect threaded assemblies, clamps, machined surfaces and more by adding a protective layer between the finished work piece and the spatter.
• Welding & Spark Deflection Paper – fire retardant paper that protects glass and painted surfaces from welding spatter and grinding sparks. It can stretch out to 150 feet long.
• Flux Paste – there are different types of flux paste to help with different alloys. It helps you when you are welding or soldering to make a good connection.

Spatter is basically drops of molten material that are created at or close to the welding arc. This generally appears when a welder is doing gas metal arc welding. Complications that can occur with the development of spatter include:

• Spatter balls can end up attaching themselves to your work or tools.
• It can burn your skin and clothing.
• Losing core material from the arc and weld.
• Having a big mess that you need to clean up.

• Welding wire of poor quality
• Gas that was badly mixed
• The angle of the torch is bad
• The welding surface is in horrible conditions(paint, rust, etc)
• Moisture in the air
• Shielding gas loss
