CANAS-16-A - Cantesco Heavy Duty Non-Flammable Anti-Spatter Spray 16oz

Industrial Grade Spatter Protection

The Cantesco AS-16 Anti-Spatter Aerosol is a high-performance chemical agent designed to streamline the metal fabrication process. Engineered for industrial environments where safety and efficiency are paramount, this 16oz aerosol provides a robust barrier against molten weld spatter. By preventing spatter from fusing to the base metal, jigs, and fixtures, it eliminates the need for labor-intensive grinding, chiseling, and sanding post-weld. This product is formulated specifically to meet the rigorous demands of heavy manufacturing, automotive fabrication, and structural steel work.

Non-Flammable Safety Formulation

Safety is a critical concern in welding operations involving open arcs and high heat. The Cantesco AS-16 features a non-flammable solvent base, significantly reducing the risk of flash fires compared to standard solvent-based anti-spatters. This makes it an ideal choice for enclosed spaces or environments with strict fire safety protocols. The formulation is stable and does not generate hazardous fumes when exposed to the thermal radiation of the welding arc, ensuring a safer breathing zone for operators when used in conjunction with proper ventilation.

Paint Compatibility and Finish Quality

One of the primary challenges with anti-spatter agents is their interference with downstream finishing processes. Many inferior products contain silicone or oils that cause "fisheyes" or adhesion failures in paint and powder coats. Cantesco AS-16 is explicitly engineered to be paint-compatible. It is silicone-free and can be easily wiped away or washed off prior to painting, leaving a clean surface that accepts primers and topcoats without defects. This feature is essential for production lines where parts move immediately from welding to finishing.

Versatile Application

This aerosol is effective across a wide range of welding processes, including MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), and Stick (SMAW) welding, although it is most beneficial in high-spatter MIG applications. It can be applied directly to the workpiece, welding clamps, and even the interior of the MIG gun nozzle to prevent spatter buildup that restricts gas flow. The 16oz can size offers a substantial quantity of product in an ergonomic package, suitable for daily use by professional fabricators.
