Anti-spatter spray

Soot and metal spatters appear on car parts during welding. Anti-spatter spray can help to avoid it. Moreover, this product protects the burner nozzle from soot formation, significantly reduces time of weld polishing and also reduces consumption of expendable material used while welding.

Types of anti-spatter sprays

There are the following main products according to the active material:

• Silicone-based. They are usually inexpensive but don’t have long-term effect. This promotes their high consumption during repair. Such products with aluminium and molybdenum are included in catalogues of some manufacturers. The first provide welding seams of aluminium parts with smoothness and shining, the second has high temperature resistance up to 700 °C.
• Ceramic-based. They effectively protect welder parts from soot, don’t lose their qualities even at 1500 °C. Due to absence of silicone in the composition they don’t spread out on the working surface. The disadvantage of these products is their high price.

Composition

The spray composition is determined by its type. The active substance can be silicone or ceramic particles, as additives – molybdenum, aluminium. Denatured hydrocarbon is usually used as a propellant.

Tips on how to use anti-spatter sprays

1. Treat the part only in the place where the welding seam is planned to be; do not spray too much agent.
2. When applying agent to the welding set, cover only the nozzle with the product.
3. Note that silicone agent can lose its qualities even in a few minutes after applying, so repeat spraying regularly. Ceramic sprays work efficiently during 5 – 8 hours.
4. Spatters appeared during welding are easily removed with the metal wire brush.
