53011000 - Arcair Protex Original Anti-Spatter Liquid - 1 Gallon Case (4 Pack)

Wipe Away Spatter Instead of Grinding It

Every welder knows the frustration of finishing a perfect bead only to spend the next twenty minutes fighting with stubborn spatter BBs that have fused to the table, the clamps, or the part itself. Arcair Protex Original is the solution to that headache. This isn't just another chemical; it's a liquid shield for your workspace. When you apply Protex Original to your base metal or your fixture before you strike an arc, you are creating a slick, heat-resistant barrier. When the sparks fly and molten droplets land, they hit this barrier instead of the steel. Once you are done welding, you don't need a grinder or a chisel—you just wipe the spatter away with a rag or a brush. It turns a tedious cleanup job into a ten-second task.

One of the biggest concerns with anti-spatter is the mess and the smell. Protex Original is water-soluble and non-flammable, meaning it doesn't carry that harsh chemical odor, and you don't have to worry about it catching fire if a spark hits a puddle of it. It is safe to keep right next to you in the booth. Because it is silicone-free, it won't ruin your paint job later. If you are welding parts that need to be painted or powder-coated, you can simply rinse the part with water, and it's ready for the paint booth—no greasy residue left behind to cause defects.

This pack comes with four 1-gallon jugs, which is perfect for keeping the whole shop running. You can pour it into your own spray bottles or brush it on for heavier coverage on your table and jigs. It is especially great for protecting the threads on your clamps and the surfaces of your magnetic squares, which are notoriously hard to clean once spatter sticks to them. By using Protex Original, you aren't just saving time; you are protecting your tools and making your welds look cleaner and more professional with zero extra effort.

Whether you are MIG welding mild steel or working on a complex fixture that needs to stay perfectly flat, this compound is your best friend. Stop wasting your day grinding off BBs and start using Protex Original to keep your work clean, your tools safe, and your day productive.
