ESAB changes Sandvik Welding Consumables name to EXATON, an ESAB brand

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has announced it will change the name of the recently acquired Sandvik Welding Consumables business to EXATON™, an ESAB brand. As part of the brand update, product packaging will be updated, and the contents of the Sandvik website, including specifications and MSDS, will be transferred to the ESAB website. The Sandvik Welding Handbook mobile app also will be transferred to the ESAB site.

The product line includes solid welding wire and rods, flux-cored wire, MMA electrodes, strip electrodes, flux, thermal spray wire, and weld finishing chemical products.

EXATON wire grades use a proprietary surface lubricant to help improve feeding properties, while micro-alloy additions help improve weldability factors such as reduced spatter, improved flow control, and faster deposition.
