An environmentally friendly silicone-free release agent for inert gas and electrofusion welding. Suitable for radiopaque welds. No CFC and CHC contamination and no release of propane/butane, as applied by hand sprayer or air spray can. - No burning of the welding spatters on the workpieces and thus no costly post-processing of the workpieces. - easy removal of the slag during arc welding with electrodes, even with V-seams. - Very easy cleaning of the welding seams. The residues can be easily removed with warm water or alkaline degreasing agents. - prevents the weld spatter from burning in the torch heads during inert gas welding processes and contact welding. - no difficulties during painting, electroplating, browning etc. - Product contains no water and should therefore be used for radiopaque welds. - no release of CFC/CKW or combustible propane/butane. - Product is not a hazardous substance or does not require labelling. - No spray can waste products. - easily and quickly biodegradable according to test method OECD 301 A-F.
