2. Key Features

• Extends Consumable Life: Helps prolong the operational life of MIG gun nozzles and tips by preventing spatter adhesion.
• Stable Formulation: A stable product not prone to cracking or breaking up, unlike lower-grade alternatives.
• Safe Composition: Non-irritating, non-toxic, non-flammable, and odorless. It does not contain hydrocarbon solvents, silicones, or chlorinated solvents.
• Effective Barrier: Provides a rich protective barrier against spatter buildup.

3. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal application and performance:

1. Preparation: Ensure the MIG gun nozzle and tip are clean and free from excessive spatter before application. For best results, remove any large spatter deposits using appropriate tools.
2. Application: Dip the hot MIG gun nozzle and contact tip directly into the CANTESCO TD-16 Premium Nozzle Tip Dip. Ensure a thin, even coating is applied to the entire surface that is exposed to spatter.
3. Reapplication: Reapply as needed during welding operations, especially during extended welding sessions or when spatter buildup begins to occur. The frequency of reapplication depends on welding parameters and material.
4. Post-Welding: After welding, any remaining spatter on the treated surfaces should be easier to remove with a quick wipe or light scraping.

Note: A thin coating is sufficient. Excessive application is not necessary for improved performance.

4. Maintenance and Storage

• Container Integrity: Keep the jar tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and maintain product consistency.
• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Shelf Life: The product is stable and designed for long-term use when stored correctly.
