Action Can AS-90 Welder's Anti Spatter
Action Can AS-90 is a practical and economical 3-in-1 solvent-based welder's fluid combining anti-spatter, wire feed lubrication, and post-weld corrosion protection. Applied before welding to spatter-prone areas, it prevents build-up and dramatically reduces cleanup time whilst protecting welded joints against flash rusting with a silicone-free formulation compatible with subsequent painting.
Key Features
- Anti-Spatter Prevention — Light spray application before welding prevents spatter adhesion to metal surfaces, eliminating scraping, sanding, and chipping during cleanup.
- Wire Feed Lubrication — Lubricates new or rusty welding wire, creating smooth feed to the welding torch and improving welding efficiency.
- Post-Weld Corrosion Protection — When applied after welding to joints and parent metal, provides protective coating minimising flash rusting through evaporative solvent action.
- Non-Flammable CO2 Propellent — Advanced non-flammable propellant formulation eliminates flammability hazards common in welding environments.
- Silicone-Free Compatibility — Absence of silicone ensures compatibility with subsequent painting, galvanising, and coating processes without interference.
Description
Welding Spatter Build-Up Labour Challenge
Welding produces spatter—molten metal particles ejecting from the arc and bonding to surrounding surfaces. Accumulated spatter requires time-consuming removal through scraping, sanding, and chipping before subsequent operations. This cleanup labour adds significant cost to welding operations. AS-90's anti-spatter formulation addresses this challenge through chemistry that prevents adhesion rather than attempting post-weld removal.
Adhesion Prevention Through Molecular Barriers
Traditional cleaning approaches remove spatter after it bonds; AS-90 prevents bonding in the first place. The solvent-based formulation creates a barrier on metal surfaces that prevents molten spatter from adhering. This preventive approach is dramatically more efficient than removing accumulated spatter after welding.
Wire Feed Efficiency and Torch Reliability
Rusty or dry welding wire creates friction during feed, increasing arc instability and producing poor weld quality. AS-90's lubricant action eliminates stick-slip and creates smooth wire feed to the torch. This improved feed precision translates to better weld quality and fewer rejected welds requiring repair.
Flash Rust Prevention on Freshly Welded Steel
Freshly welded steel immediately begins oxidising when exposed to air—rapid oxidation creates flash rust within hours. AS-90's protective coating applied post-weld seals the freshly exposed metal from atmospheric oxygen, preventing flash rust formation during cooling and immediate post-weld periods.
Economical Multipurpose Application
Rather than requiring separate anti-spatter products, wire lubricants, and corrosion preventatives, AS-90 delivers all three functions in a single can. This multipurpose approach reduces product inventory and application complexity whilst providing economical operation through consolidated treatment.
Silicone-Free Industrial Compatibility
Many welding products contain silicone, which creates surface contamination interfering with painting and galvanising processes. AS-90's silicone-free formulation eliminates compatibility concerns—welded components proceed directly to finishing processes without additional cleaning.

Application Instructions
Shake the aerosol can well before use. Mix the solvent-based formulation thoroughly to ensure uniform distribution.
Apply to welding wire before operation. Spray a light coating onto the welding wire to lubricate it, ensuring smooth feed through the torch.
Apply to surfaces subject to spatter. Lightly spray areas that will receive spatter during welding, avoiding the joint itself to prevent interference with weld formation.
Perform the welding operation. Proceed with standard welding operations; the anti-spatter coating prevents build-up on treated surfaces.
Brush off spatter after welding. Once welding is complete, brush away any spatter with a wire brush or scraper—treated surfaces release spatter easily without adhesion.
Apply post-weld protection coating. For corrosion protection, reapply AS-90 by spraying over welded joints and parent metal requiring protection.
Allow solvent to evaporate completely. For best results, allow several minutes for the solvent to evaporate before handling or moving components.
Let protective layer settle. The evaporating solvent leaves a protective coating—avoid disturbance during evaporation for optimal adhesion.
Repeat application for extended protection. Repeated application prolongs the corrosion protection period, particularly valuable for components in storage or exposure to humidity.
Remove before painting or galvanising. If components require painting or galvanising, remove AS-90 residue with TF90 solvent cleaner before finishing processes.
Use on equipment and tools. Apply to resistance welding tips, MIG and TIG tips, electrode holders, contact tips, tools, metal moulds, and splash guards for multipurpose protection.

FAQs
How much does AS-90 reduce welding cleanup time compared to manual spatter removal?
Cleanup time reduction varies based on spatter volume and surface area. However, users typically report dramatic reductions—spatter brushes off easily with wire brushes or scrapers rather than requiring time-consuming chipping, grinding, or sanding. Time savings compound across high-volume welding operations, making AS-90 economical despite the product cost.
Can I apply AS-90 directly to the weld joint, or must I avoid the actual joint area?
Avoid applying AS-90 directly to the joint itself—the solvent film can interfere with weld formation if present on the joint during welding. Apply to surrounding surfaces subject to spatter. Post-weld, apply AS-90 over joints and parent metal for corrosion protection.
Will AS-90 interfere with painting or galvanising operations after welding?
AS-90 is silicone-free, allowing painting operations without additional cleaning. However, before galvanising, remove AS-90 residue with TF90 solvent cleaner to ensure optimal galvanising adhesion and appearance. This pre-galvanising cleaning is a simple additional step that prevents galvanising quality compromise.
How long does AS-90 corrosion protection last, and how often should I reapply for long-term storage?
Post-weld protection typically lasts several days to weeks depending on environmental humidity and exposure. For components in extended storage or high-humidity environments, repeat application extends protection. As-needed reapplication based on rust appearance is practical; monthly application during storage in harsh conditions provides reliable long-term protection.
