53G178 - FT 200 Low-VOC Surface Cleaner and Degreaser - 208L Drum

Industrial Strength Cleaning for Welders

Get your metal truly clean before you strike an arc or spray a coat with the Walter FT 200™ Surface Cleaner and Degreaser. Available in a massive 208-liter drum (53G178), this cleaner is built for serious fabrication shops that need reliable, bulk surface preparation solutions. We all know the frustration of using acetone or thinners that dry up before you've even finished wiping the part down. FT 200™ solves this problem with a smart formulation that stays wet just long enough to break down oils, grease, and grime, but then evaporates completely clean when you wipe it off.

Perfect Pre-Weld and Pre-Paint Prep

Preparation is half the battle in welding and finishing. If your surface has oil or residue, you get porosity in your welds or peeling in your paint. Walter FT 200™ is designed specifically to prevent these issues. It removes light contaminants like cutting fluids, anti-corrosion oils, and waxes without leaving a film. Because it is residue-free, you can move straight to welding, priming, or bonding immediately after wiping. It works perfectly on all common shop metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and is even safe on plastics, so you don't have to worry about damaging sensitive parts.

Safer for Your Shop and Crew

Safety is a priority in any welding shop. Traditional solvents are often highly flammable and full of nasty fumes. The FT 200™ is a much friendlier option for your crew. It has a low VOC content (just 7%), a high flash point, and minimal odor, making it much more pleasant to work with day in and day out. It is also biodegradable and phosphate-free. Plus, it carries an NSF A1 registration, meaning it meets strict standards for use in environments connected to food processing. Stop wasting money on solvents that evaporate into thin air—switch to Walter FT 200™ for a cleaner, safer, and more efficient shop.
