Paint deflects weld spatter from jigs
A semi-permanent weld-spatter deflecting paint can withstand the constant bombardment of white-hot weld-spatter on jigs and fixtures whilst providing a non-stick facing.
Acknowledged specialists and leaders in the weld spatter control market Stevens Industrial Services have solved the last of the important weld-spatter problems in the welding industry by producing a semi-permanent weld-spatter deflecting paint, Thermoflect Regular stoppages, badly aligned welds and poor productions efficiencies due to spatter build-up on jigs, tools, fixtures, (especially in automated and robotic welding) have always been unavoidable until now

Weld spatter control, how to make it really work
A huge number of welders are still making do with hydraulic-oil and solvent-based so-called anti-spatter aerosols that are dangerous, ineffective close to the weld, but cheap.
Thermoflect is a safe blend of natural minerals and anti-friction compounds bonded synthetically at high temperatures which can withstand the constant bombardment of white-hot weld-spatter whilst providing a non-stick facing.
Trials carried out in the UK car manufacturing industry over the last 12 months have been highly successful with Thermoflect paint providing weld-spatter protection for a number of months before reapplication is required, saving innumerable man-hours and improving welding cost and production efficiency.
Initial success of the product has already leaked out, pre-launch, with much of the first production run earmarked for an export order to Czechoslovakia where the cost-saving weld-spatter protection fluids from SIS are already well known.
