CRC Industries Australia, a leading manufacturer of specialty products and formulations for maintenance and repair professionals and do-it-yourselfers has introduced Weld-Aid, a line of maintenance products serving the welding industry.
The Weld-Aid brand, which includes Nozzle-Kleen #2®, the world’s leading anti-spatter, focus on three main causes of downtime for welders; spatter build-up, equipment maintenance, and wire cleaning and lubrication.Weld-Aid was established in 1958 as a division of the Roy Smith Welding Supply Company and it was soon realised there were opportunities to improve the efficiency of the wire feed process in the welding marketplace. Today, Weld-Aid’s industry leading products are designed to both clean and lubricate the wire, reducing friction as the wire is fed to the torch.
Murray Walbran, Managing Director for CRC Trans-Tasman explains, “Weld-Aid makes novice welders look good and good welders look great by increasing productivity and lowering cost of welding consumables.”
CRC Australia has launched twelve Weld-Aid products under three different product groups.
Nozzle-Kleen - these products maximize tip, nozzle and diffuser life by preventing spatter build-up ensuring optimum gas coverage.
Weld-Kleen - these coatings minimize the need for grinding by preventing spatter build-up on parts and fixtures. These are ready-to-use, water-based, anti-spatter product engineered to protect parts, clamps, tooling, and fixtures.
Lube-Matic - are pads which lubricate and clean and are designed to increase tip and liner life up to 300%.
“The addition of the Weld-Aid brands and products will complement CRC’s existing welding product range and greatly enhance our ability to meet and exceed our global mission to be the brand of first choice to our many customers within the MRO maintenance, auto repair and professional user base,” concluded Murray.
