OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Shop Lubricant for Welders and Fabricators

Every welding shop deals with rusted bolts, stuck clamps, and equipment that needs protection from the elements. The Walter AF-PL (Anti-Friction Penetrating Lubricant) 20L Pail is the bulk solution your shop needs to keep everything moving smoothly. This isn't just a standard oil; it is a heavy-duty penetrant designed to break through rust and corrosion rapidly, saving you frustration when tearing down old assemblies or repairing shop machinery.

For welders, the silicone-free nature of AF-PL is a massive advantage. You can use it freely around the shop without worrying about contaminating workpieces that are scheduled for painting or powder coating later. It works exceptionally well on welding fixture clamps, positioners, and ground clamps, ensuring good conductivity and ease of movement. The fluid also acts as a moisture barrier; if you store raw stock or equipment in humid conditions, a light wipe-down with AF-PL protects bare metal from flash rust.

Buying in the 20L pail (5.3 Gallon) size is the most economical way to stock your shop. Instead of chasing down empty aerosol cans, you can fill your own spray bottles or pressure sprayers directly from the pail. This ensures you always have plenty of lubricant on hand for big jobs, like soaking down a trailer chassis or maintaining a large bandsaw. Whether you are freeing a seized nut on a repair job or lubricating the guides on your press brake, Walter AF-PL delivers professional results every time.
