OVERVIEW

Stop Wasting Money on Acetone

Every welder knows the struggle of prepping metal with acetone. You pour it on, and it evaporates before you can even wipe the grease off. Plus, the fumes are terrible, and the fire risk is high. Enter the Walter FT 200™ Surface Preparation Cleaner (53G173). This 500ml sprayer is designed to replace those old-school solvents with something that actually works for you, not against you. It cuts through processing oils, anti-corrosion waxes, and shop grime effortlessly, giving you a perfectly clean surface for your next weld or paint job.

Lasts 7x Longer

The biggest advantage of the FT 200™ is that it stays wet long enough to clean, but evaporates clean when you wipe it. Because it doesn't flash off instantly into the air, a single bottle lasts up to 7 times longer than an equivalent amount of acetone. That means fewer trips to the supply cabinet and more money staying in your pocket. It leaves absolutely no residue behind, so you don't have to worry about porosity in your welds or fish-eyes in your paint caused by leftover film.

Safer for You and Your Shop

Safety matters when you're working with sparks and arcs. The FT 200™ has a high flash point, making it much safer to store and use around the shop than highly flammable solvents. It also has very low VOCs (7%) and minimal odor, so you aren't breathing in harsh chemical fumes all day. It's biodegradable, phosphate-free, and even NSF A1 registered, meaning it's safe enough for food industry equipment. Whether you are prepping aluminum, stainless steel, or mild steel, this is the modern way to clean metal.
