53C507 - Walter Slapshot Heavy Duty Degreaser 20L Pail

The Welder's Choice for Surface Preparation

In the world of welding and fabrication, surface preparation is the key to a defect-free weld. Walter Slapshot Liquid (53C507) provides fabricators with a fast-acting, reliable method to strip away contaminants that cause porosity and lack of fusion. Before you strike an arc, it is essential to remove cutting fluids, shop oils, and anti-spatter residues from the base metal. Slapshot excels in this regard, cutting through heavy industrial oils instantly. Because it evaporates rapidly and leaves zero residue, there is no need for a secondary rinse or wipe-down with water, saving you valuable time in the production cycle. You can clean the part and move immediately to fit-up and welding.

This 20-liter pail is ideal for busy fabrication shops that go through significant amounts of cleaner. It can be used to fill manual sprayers or used in parts washing basins for soaking smaller components. The formula is non-chlorinated, which is a critical safety feature for welders; chlorinated solvents can produce hazardous phosgene gas when exposed to high heat or UV radiation from welding arcs. With Slapshot, you can clean with confidence knowing you are using a product designed with shop safety in mind. It is also highly effective for post-weld cleanup, helping to remove smoke residue and preparing the heat-affected zone for inspection or coating.

Versatility is another major benefit for the metalworker. Slapshot is safe on all metals, meaning you can use it on stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum without fear of corrosion or etching. It is also excellent for general shop maintenance, such as cleaning welding fixture clamps, removing grime from positioners, or degreasing drive rolls (check compatibility with specific rubber compounds first). By displacing moisture, it also helps protect your raw materials from rusting after cleaning. When precision and speed matter, Walter Slapshot is the liquid degreaser that keeps your fabrication workflow moving smoothly.
