Why use it?

Plain water in a plasma table doesn't stay clean. It rusts the slats and the table, gives fresh-cut parts a coat of flash rust, and as it sits it goes stale and starts to smell.

Cantesco® Plasma Arc Water Table Fluid is a concentrate you add to the table water. Cantesco® formulates it to stop steel corrosion and foul odours, in the water table and on the work pieces, so your table lasts longer and your parts come off cleaner.

How to use it

Add at 10% of the tank volume, at room temperature: a 10:1 mix.
Check the mix with pH strips. Aim for pH 9 to 10.
The fluid doesn't evaporate with the water. Top up with plain water so you don't double-dose.
Clean and refill the table at least once a year, or sooner if oil or dirt gets in.
