53G173 - FT 200 Surface Preparation Cleaner 500ml Sprayer

Advanced Surface Preparation Technology

The Walter FT 200™ (SKU: 53G173) represents a significant advancement in industrial surface preparation chemistry. Designed to replace traditional, high-volatility solvents like acetone, this 500ml cleaner utilizes a unique formulation that balances cleaning power with environmental and operator safety. As a phosphate-free and biodegradable solution, it aligns with modern sustainability goals without compromising on performance. The cleaner is engineered to effectively remove contaminants from metallic surfaces, preparing them for critical subsequent processes such as painting, priming, coating, bonding, metalizing, and welding.

Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings

One of the primary technical advantages of the FT 200™ is its controlled evaporation rate. Unlike acetone, which flashes off almost instantly—often before the cleaning action is complete—FT 200™ remains on the surface long enough to break down oils and contaminants effectively. This characteristic means the product lasts up to 7 times longer than traditional fast-evaporating solvents, resulting in substantial cost savings and reduced chemical inventory requirements. Despite its slower evaporation relative to acetone, it is designed to evaporate completely after wiping, ensuring a residue-free surface that meets the stringent requirements of high-quality coating and welding applications.

Safety and Compliance

Safety is paramount in industrial environments, and the FT 200™ excels in this regard. It features a low VOC content of just 7%, drastically reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds into the workplace atmosphere. Furthermore, its high flash point minimizes fire hazards compared to highly flammable solvents. The product is also NSF Category A1 registered (Registration #142612), making it suitable for use in food processing facilities where general cleaning is required. Whether working with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or even plastics, the FT 200™ provides a versatile, safe, and highly effective cleaning solution.
