Callington · Welding Consumables
Callington S-Weld Spatter Guard is a non-flammable, silicone-free anti-spatter aerosol that prevents weld spatter adhering to base metal and MIG torch components, supplied in a 454 g can packed 12 per carton, and formulated to remain paintable without causing coating defects.

Where it is used
Features
S-Weld Spatter Guard is non-flammable, which is an unusual property in an anti-spatter aerosol and the main reason to choose it. Spraying a flammable product in the immediate vicinity of a live arc is a hazard that fabrication HSE departments increasingly refuse to accept.
Contains no silicones, which means no painting or powder coating problems downstream. Silicone contamination is a notorious cause of fisheye and adhesion failures in coating, and it usually appears long after the welder who sprayed it has moved on.
Used on the interior and exterior of nozzles, the end and outer surface of contact tips, diffusers and the base of the nozzle support. Spatter build-up in a nozzle restricts gas flow, and restricted gas flow causes pitting and porosity — so torch protection is weld-quality control, not just housekeeping.
Increases the life cycle of welding torch components, which reduces both the consumable spend and the number of production stops to change wear parts. On a shop running several machines, that downtime is usually the larger of the two costs.
Avoids the need for mechanical abrasion or grinding of weld spatter after welding. Removing a grinding operation removes labour, consumables, noise, dust and the risk of a grinder gouging the parent material.
The formulation includes corrosion inhibitors for base metal protection, so treated surfaces are not left vulnerable between welding and the next process.
Suitable for a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and high-performance alloys, and sprays as a uniform film with no air bubbles.

Operating essentials
Hold the can approximately 30 cm from the surface to be protected and spray a thin, uniform coating over the area where spatter is expected to land. A thin film is sufficient; a heavy application wastes product and takes longer to wipe off.
Before welding, spray a thin uniform film from approximately 30 cm onto the areas to be protected: the interior and exterior of the nozzle, the end and outer surface of contact tips, and all other areas subject to spatter. It is also advisable to spray the diffuser and the base of the nozzle support.
Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove the anti-spatter film before painting. Although the product is silicone free and does not cause coating defects, the film itself should still be removed so the coating bonds to clean metal.
Obtain special instructions before use and wear protective gloves, clothing, eye and face protection. Do not eat, drink or smoke while using the product. Store locked up, out of sunlight, in a well-ventilated place.

Frequently asked
No. It is a non-flammable anti-spatter aerosol, which is why it is described as workshop safe. It does contain gas under pressure and may explode if heated, so it must still be kept away from heat and stored in a well-ventilated place.
Yes — the product contains no silicones, so it does not cause the painting or powder coating problems silicone-based anti-spatters are known for. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove the film before painting.
Before welding, spray a thin uniform film from about 30 cm onto the interior and exterior of the nozzle, the end and outer surface of the contact tip, the diffuser and the base of the nozzle support. This prevents spatter build-up that restricts shielding gas flow and causes pitting and porosity.
S-Weld Spatter Guard (1450/454) is a 454 g non-flammable aerosol of proven Australian formulation. CalGuard (1400 series) is a water-based, biodegradable anti-spatter available in aerosol, trigger pack and bulk up to 200 L, and CalGuard Nozzle Dip Gel (1460/400) is a gel for dipping torch nozzles. All are silicone free and paintable. Ask us which suits your process and volume.
Yes, and the mechanism is straightforward: spatter accumulating inside a nozzle restricts shielding gas flow, which causes pitting and porosity in the weld and eventually forces a wear-part change. Preventing the build-up both protects weld quality and reduces the number of production stops.
A 454 g aerosol can, part number 1450/454, packed 12 units per carton. The water-based CalGuard alternative is available in 400 ml and 750 ml aerosols and 5 L, 20 L and 200 L bulk.
