Action Can WB-90 is a highly effective water-based weld anti-spatter engineered for safety and performance on ferrous metals undergoing welding. The solvent-free, silicone-free formulation with built-in flash rust inhibitor prevents spatter adhesion whilst enabling easy post-welding removal with a wire brush. No hazard symbols on the can reflect the low-risk profile compared to traditional solvent-based products, making WB-90 safer in use without compromising anti-spatter effectiveness.

Key Features

  • Water-Based Non-Toxic Formulation — Eliminates solvent hazards and toxic fume exposure whilst delivering effective anti-spatter protection.
  • Built-In Flash Rust Inhibitor — Protects freshly exposed metal from rapid oxidation during cooling and post-weld periods.
  • Solvent-Free, Silicone-Free Chemistry —Absence of solvents and silicone eliminates worker exposure hazards and compatibility concerns with subsequent welding, coating, or painting processes.
  • No Hazard Symbols — Low-risk formulation requires no hazard labelling, reflecting genuine safety advantage over traditional anti-spatters.
  • Excellent Coverage and Economy — Superior coverage per application reduces product consumption and extends can longevity across high-volume welding operations.

Description

Welding Spatter and Solvent-Based Anti-Spatter Hazards

Welding generates molten metal spatters bonding to workpieces, tools, clamps, and nearby surfaces. Traditional solvent-based anti-spatters prevent adhesion but introduce worker safety concerns—solvent fumes, flammability hazards, toxicity risks. Welding environments are inherently hazardous; adding chemical hazards from anti-spatter products compounds risk. WB-90 addresses this challenge through water-based chemistry providing spatter prevention without introducing additional chemical hazards.

Water-Based Safety Philosophy for Workplace Protection

Water-based formulations eliminate solvent vapours and toxic exposure risks common with traditional products. Workers apply anti-spatter without respiratory protection concerns or skin absorption hazards. The absence of hazard symbols on the can reflects genuine safety profile rather than regulatory exemption—WB-90 is genuinely safer to handle than solvent equivalents. This safety advantage is particularly valuable in poorly ventilated shops or confined welding spaces.

Flash Rust Prevention on Freshly Welded Steel

Newly welded steel immediately begins oxidising when exposed to air, creating flash rust within minutes if exposed to humidity. This rapid oxidation is particularly problematic in damp or coastal environments. WB-90's built-in flash rust inhibitor protects freshly exposed metal during cooling and immediate post-weld periods, preventing oxidation that would require additional cleaning before finishing. This protection is particularly valuable for quality-critical applications where rust marks degrade appearance.

Spatter Prevention Without Adhesion

Traditional anti-spatters create mechanical barriers preventing adhesion. WB-90's water-based formulation achieves this through chemistry—the coating resists molten spatter bonding, allowing accumulated spatter to be brushed away easily. This prevention-rather-than-removal approach is more efficient than trying to mechanically remove bonded spatter. The easy removal with wire brush confirms spatter prevention success.

Silicone-Free Compatibility with Post-Weld Processes

Silicone contamination in anti-spatters interferes with subsequent welding (creating porosity), painting (adhesion failure), and plating (contamination). Silicone-free formulation eliminates these downstream compatibility concerns. Welded components proceed directly to finishing processes without additional cleaning steps. This process compatibility simplifies workflows and reduces labour—a significant benefit for high-volume welding operations.

Solvent-Free Formulation Enabling Immediate Painting

Many traditional anti-spatters require complete removal before painting or coating. WB-90 doesn't always require removal before post-welding coating, painting, or plating—simplifying finishing processes. Where complete removal is desired, the water-based formulation is easily removed with water or dissolves completely during hot-dip galvanising pickling processes. This flexibility is particularly valuable for integrated manufacturing workflows.

More Information

Application Instructions

Shake the aerosol can well before use. Mix thoroughly to ensure uniform anti-spatter formulation distribution.

Identify surfaces requiring spatter protection. Plan application to cover workpieces, tools, clamps, nozzles, and surrounding surfaces subject to spatter contact.

Apply a thin, even film to surfaces. Spray a light coating from approximately 15–20 cm distance, creating consistent coverage without excessive buildup.

Ensure complete coverage of protected areas. Coat all surfaces that will experience spatter exposure—workpiece tops, side surfaces, nearby tools, equipment.

Allow the coating to dry slightly. Let the water-based formulation dry for a few minutes before welding operations begin.

Perform welding operations as planned. Proceed with standard welding, confident that spatter adhesion is prevented.

Observe spatter collection on the coating. During welding, spatters accumulate on the protected surfaces rather than bonding permanently.

Allow workpiece to cool after welding. Once welding is complete, allow the workpiece to cool naturally.

Remove spatter with a wire brush. Once cool, use a wire brush to brush away accumulated spatter—easy removal confirms anti-spatter effectiveness.

Proceed directly to finishing if desired. No additional cleaning required; workpieces proceed directly to painting, plating, or coating operations.

Protect the aerosol against heat sources. During application near welding operations, keep the can away from direct heat and welding spatters.

Store for future use after application. Reseal the aerosol properly for storage between welding sessions.

FAQs

Does WB-90 need to be removed before painting or coating, or can it remain on the workpiece?

WB-90 doesn't always require removal before post-welding coating, painting, or plating—a key advantage over traditional anti-spatters. For most applications, residual coating is compatible with finishing processes. Where complete removal is desired (for aesthetic or process reasons), the water-based formulation is easily removed with water or dissolves completely during hot-dip galvanising. The flexibility to proceed without removal simplifies production workflows.

How effective is the flash rust inhibitor, and what protection duration does it provide?

The built-in flash rust inhibitor protects freshly exposed metal from rapid oxidation during cooling and immediate post-weld periods—typically several hours to overnight depending on humidity and environmental conditions. For components requiring extended protection or storage, additional corrosion protection may be applied. The flash rust inhibitor addresses the critical period immediately post-welding when oxidation risk is highest.

Can WB-90 be used on stainless steel or non-ferrous metals, or only on ferrous metals?

WB-90 is specifically formulated for ferrous metals undergoing welding. Testing and validation focus on ferrous applications. For stainless steel or non-ferrous metals, test on scrap or inconspicuous areas first to confirm compatibility. Ferrous metals are the primary application; specialised anti-spatters may be more appropriate for other metal types.

What's the main safety advantage of WB-90 compared to traditional solvent-based anti-spatters?

The water-based formulation eliminates solvent vapours, toxic fume exposure, and flammability hazards inherent in traditional products. No hazard symbols on the can reflect genuine safety profile—workers apply WB-90 without respiratory protection concerns or skin absorption hazards. This safety advantage is particularly valuable in poorly ventilated welding shops or confined spaces where solvent fumes would accumulate.
