The AF-Weld reusable  aerosol system  provides an economical and healthier alternative to aerosol cans. AF-Weld comprises an automatic refilling station, a reusable aluminum bottle and a 10L bag-in-box of AF-Weld anti-spatter product. The refilling station is easy to use; filling a reusable aluminum bottle in seconds. AF-Weld saves you money, increases weld quality and provides a healthier alternative.

 

It is impossible to completely empty traditional aerosol cans. In fact, there is an estimated 10% wastage per aerosol can.¹  Furthermore, aerosol cans must be punctured in order to properly dispose of them. Waste Disposal companies charge up to $2.00 per can for this service. Although convenient, aerosols can be expensive when all costs are accounted for, especially for operations that use hundreds of cans each year.

The AF-Weld system  ensures you use 100% of the liquid and eliminates disposal of aerosol cans. Empty bottles are  simply refilled over and over from either a 10L (2.64 gals) bag-in-box or a 208L (55gals) drum. Empirical tests demonstrate that a10 liter (2.64 gals) bag-in-box of AF-Weld can replace as many as 36 aerosol cans of anti-spatter.² As a result the system can significantly reduces costs of storage, handling, and disposal of residual contents and cans.

When used in excess, anti-spatter can create bad welds. They become a contaminant, and can boil into a gas when exposed to the high temperatures of the welding arc. Unlike competitive products, AF-Weld will not cause weld porosity when over applied. The AF-Weld is the only solution that retracts from the weld path and leaves the area clean and void of liquid. Furthermore, AF-Weld will not interfere with painting or coating processes. Users save time because is no need to rinse the surface.

Many aerosol and bulk anti-spatters contain methylene chloride, which is a volatile organic compound (VOC). Like all VOCs, Methylene Chloride can irritate the throat and cause serious health problems. Welders hate the harsh smoke these products create when welding. OSHA has developed standards that regulate workers’ exposure to methylene chloride.³ Formulated from plant extracts, the AF-Weld anti-spatter Is VOC free, solvent free, and silicone free. With a pleasant smell, it creates no smoke when welding.

 

The AF-Weld automatic refilling spray bottle system is a money-saving way of dispensing the anti-spatter product line, minimizing post-welding operations, and providing a healthier alternative to aerosol cans.
