48H547 - Walter E-Weld 3 High-Temperature Anti-Spatter & Cleaner, 20L

Advanced Surface Protection and Preparation

The Walter Surface Technologies E-Weld 3 is a high-performance, multifunctional chemical solution designed to streamline the welding process in industrial environments. Identified by SKU 48H547 (Manufacturer Part No. 53-F 257), this 20-liter pail provides a substantial supply of a unique formulation that serves two critical roles: it acts as a potent degreaser to prepare surfaces for welding, and as a robust anti-spatter agent to protect the workpiece during the weld. This dual-action capability eliminates the need for separate cleaning solvents, reducing inventory complexity and application time.

High-Temperature Formulation

Unlike standard anti-spatter solutions that may break down under intense heat, E-Weld 3 is engineered to withstand high temperatures. This makes it exceptionally suitable for applications involving pre-heated workpieces or high-amperage welding where base metal temperatures rise significantly. The solution forms a protective barrier that prevents hot spatter from fusing to the surface, ensuring that any residue can be wiped away effortlessly without the need for grinding or chiseling.

Technical Compatibility and Safety

From a metallurgical perspective, E-Weld 3 is compatible with a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It is formulated without silicone, ensuring that it does not interfere with downstream painting or coating processes. The solution is water-based, biodegradable, and non-flammable, addressing modern safety and environmental standards. It contains corrosion inhibitors to prevent flash rust on treated surfaces, maintaining the integrity of the metal between preparation and final finishing.

Application Efficiency

Designed for industrial MRO and fabrication shops, the 20L pail size is ideal for high-volume operations. The fluid can be easily dispensed into spray bottles or applied via brush. Its cleaning properties allow welders to wipe down oily surfaces immediately before welding, ensuring a contaminant-free weld zone while simultaneously applying the anti-spatter protection. This integration of steps optimizes workflow efficiency and ensures consistent weld quality.
