OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Spatter Protection for MIG Consumables

The TD-16 Blue Premium Nozzle Dip is a critical maintenance chemical designed for professional fabrication environments utilizing MIG (GMAW) and Flux-Cored (FCAW) welding processes. This 16-ounce jar contains a high-viscosity blue gel formulated to prevent the adhesion of molten weld spatter to the interior and exterior of welding nozzles, contact tips, and gas diffusers. By creating a thermal barrier on the consumable surface, this compound significantly retards the accumulation of spatter, thereby maintaining optimal shielding gas flow and preventing electrical shorts caused by bridging.

Regular application of the TD-16 Nozzle Dip is a proven method for extending the operational lifespan of expensive front-end consumables. In high-volume production settings, the reduction in downtime associated with mechanical nozzle cleaning or component replacement translates to measurable productivity gains. The formula is engineered to be non-toxic and odorless, ensuring operator safety in confined or poorly ventilated spaces. Unlike aerosol sprays which can disperse into the surrounding environment, the dip format ensures 100% transfer efficiency directly to the heated component, minimizing waste and environmental impact.

To utilize, the operator simply immerses the pre-heated nozzle approximately one inch into the gel. The heat from the torch melts a thin layer of the compound, which instantly coats the metal surfaces. This layer prevents spatter from fusing to the brass or copper, allowing any accumulation to be easily tapped off or brushed away. The TD-16 is compatible with all standard MIG gun brands and is an essential addition to any welder's station or maintenance inventory.

FAQ

Dip the nozzle of your MIG gun about 1/2 to 1 inch into the gel while the nozzle is warm (not red hot). Allow the excess to drip off before welding.

No, the product works best when the nozzle is warm. The heat helps the gel melt and coat the surfaces evenly. If dipped cold, it may just clump inside the nozzle.

When used correctly, it does not affect weld quality. Ensure you do not saturate the nozzle to the point where gel drips into the weld pool. A thin coating is all that is required.

No, this product is specifically designed for MIG and Flux-Cored welding guns to prevent spatter buildup. It is not suitable for TIG torches.

Many standard blue nozzle dips are silicone-free to prevent painting issues, but please refer to the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact chemical composition of the TD-16 formulation.

Dip the nozzle whenever you notice spatter starting to stick or after cleaning the nozzle. In heavy welding, this might be every 15-30 minutes.

Nozzle dip is generally non-flammable, but it will melt and smoke if exposed to extreme direct heat. Always follow safety precautions.

Because the dip prevents spatter from bonding, you can usually just tap the nozzle against a hard surface or use MIG pliers to easily scrape out the loose debris.
