About ESAB 55042430G0 VACPAC 7018-1 Prime 1/8"x 14" Arc

The prevention of hydrogen induced cracking in thick structural steels or porosity in stainless or nickel-base weld metal, by controlling the moisture re-absorption in the coating of low hydrogen electrodes, can be very costly. In demanding applications, such as offshore fabrication, the cost of climate controlled storage and handling and the associated administrations are often calculated to exceed the cost of the consumables itself. With ESAB 7018-1 Prime VacPac vacuum packaging, these costs are completely avoided.
