It has been successfully tested up to 100kW

3YO TS has been engineered for fiber laser cutting machines. However, it can be used on both fiber and CO2 lasers

It has been successfully tested up to 150mm

It works with all types of slats like mild steel, copper, aluminum, etc.

Yes, it works with mild steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.

No, the 3YO GUN must always be used to ensure proper performance and avoid risks for the operator. Always refer to the 3YO GUN Operation and safety manual

The fluid has no side effects on any metal when applied according to the instructions and the guidelines provided. It is not the liquid itself that protects, but the reaction that occurs upon contact with heat. This reaction transforms the dry components of the liquid into an invisible film that leaves no residue upon contact

Even though 3YO TS is 100% natural-based formulation and biodegradable, PPE is recommended to avoid possible contact with the eyes and any wound or cut, as per Product Data Sheet (PDS)

The product can be stored for at least 2 years if the jerrycan hasn’t been opened. Once open, it shall be used within 1 year

The 3YO TS jerrycans must not be in direct sunlight. The storage area should be kept clean, dry, dust, odor, insect, and rodent free

It depends on the number of shifts the machine operates. In normal conditions:
– Every 7 – 14 days for 3 shifts
– Every 14 – 21 days for 2 shifts
– Every 21 – 28 days for 1 shift
In heavy duty conditions (power ≥ 50kw, material thickness ≥ 50mm, etc.), the frequency could
be higher:
– Every 2 – 6 days for 3 shifts
– Every 7 – 9 days for 2 shifts
– Every 12 – 18 days for 1 shift
As the product is biodegradable, the performance of 3YO TS progressively degrades after 28
days due to its biodegradability.

Cutting can be done immediately after the 3YO TS application. It is possible to have up to 3 days before the 3YO TS application and the first cutting operation. For example, 3YO TS can be applied on Friday evening and cutting can start on Monday morning

No, the slats must be either new or properly clean before applying 3YO TS

For optimal performance, the product should be applied to a properly cleaned table, or ideally, to a new one. After the initial application, only simple mechanical cleaning is required before reapplying the product

The slag will easily detach from the slats. So they can be cleaned using a steel brush or they can also be vibrated. If available, a slat cleaner may also be used

No, as 3YO TS is a 100% natural-based formulation liquid, it is absolutely normal to have some sediments depositing at the bottom of the jerrycan. Always shake the jerrycan to dilute the sediments before applying the liquid. But in any case, it won’t affect the performance of the liquid

No, the liquid is not flammable if applied on the laser cutting machine slats. But the jerrycan should not be exposed to direct flames

No, 3YO TS is only to protect the slats. For the nozzles, 3YO WG must be used

No, for this application 3YO RS shall be used. But only for the entire recovery system underneath the table (residue discharge zones), NOT for the cutting table due to the risk of slipping when walking on the slats

Should 3YO TS be used only on a new table, or can it also be used on a mechanically cleaned table?

For optimal performance, the product should be applied to a properly cleaned table, or ideally, to a new one. After the initial application, only simple mechanical cleaning is required before reapplying the product.

How can I clean the slats before reapplying 3YO TS?

The slag will easily detach from the slats. So they can be cleaned using a steel brush or they can also be vibrated. If available, a slat cleaner may also be used.

There are sediments at the bottom of the jerrycan, is it a problem?

No, the liquid is not flammable if applied on the laser cutting machine slats. But the jerrycan should not be exposed to direct flames.

Can 3YO TS be used on the laser cutting machine nozzle?

No, 3YO TS is only to protect the slats. For the nozzles, 3YO WG must be used.

Can 3YO TS also be used on plasma cutting machines?

No, for this application 3YO RS shall be used. But only for the entire recovery system underneath the table (residue discharge zones), NOT for the cutting table due to the risk of slipping when walking on the slats.

Can 3YO TS also be used on oxyfuel cutting machines?

No, for this application 3YO RS shall be used. But only for the entire recovery system underneath the table (residue discharge zones), NOT for the cutting table due to the risk of slipping when walking on the slats.

3YO WG
Can it be used as an anti-spatter on surfaces to be welded?

Yes. 3YO WG is formulated for welding applications and is compatible with MIG/MAG, TIG and robotic processes. When used correctly, it does not alter the weld pool, does not promote inclusions, cracks or hydrogen porosity. It protects surfaces by facilitating spatter removal.

Is it certified for industrial use?

Yes. It complies with REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006). Biodegradability is verified and certified according to internationally recognized OECD methods.

Is 3YO WG biodegradable?

The liquid formulation contained in 3YO WG is based on 3YOBASE, tested according to OECD 301B. The aerosol product itself does not carry a biodegradability claim.

Can it be used on welding torches like a ceramic spray?

Yes. When applied to nozzles and diffusers, it reduces spatter adhesion and extends torch life. Generally 1–2 applications per day are sufficient.

Does 3YO WG contain silicones, aggressive solvents or heavy waxes?

No. The formulation is free from silicones and aggressive solvents typical of traditional sprays. This avoids unwanted contamination, issues in subsequent processes (painting, galvanizing, surface treatments) and heavy build-up on equipment.

Can it be used to loosen screws or seized mechanisms?

Yes. With the straw diffuser it penetrates quickly into oxidized mechanisms, facilitating loosening thanks to its controlled penetration capability.

Can it replace multiple products in the workshop?

Yes. 3YO WG can replace:

  • Traditional anti-spatter products
  • Ceramic sprays for torches
  • Aerosol lubricants
  • Penetrating release agents
  • Anti-adhesive protective products
  • Products for threading and drilling
  • Degreasers
  • And more…

One product, many operational applications.

What is the management advantage of a single product?

It reduces:

  • Number of article codes to manage
  • Separate orders to different suppliers
  • Warehouse stock
  • Risk of procurement errors
  • Risk of usage errors

It simplifies purchasing management and industrial planning.

Does it reduce the risk of operational errors in the factory?

Yes. Having many similar products in the workshop increases the risk of improper use. A multi-function product reduces confusion among operators, limits application errors and improves internal standardization (5S).

Is it compatible with robotic welding?

Yes. It can be integrated into both manual and automated applications.

Does it leave residues that interfere with subsequent treatments?

When applied correctly, it does not generate structural residues that interfere with subsequent processing.

Does it offer protection against oxidation?

Yes. It provides temporary surface protection against oxidation and environmental contamination.

Is it compatible with laser cutting?

Yes. When applied to cutting nozzles, it helps reduce the adhesion of metal particles and extends their service life.

How much product should be applied?

A thin, even coat is sufficient. Excess product does not improve performance and should be avoided to maximize efficiency and product life.

Why choose 3YO WG over traditional products?

Because it combines:

  • Anti-adhesive protection
  • Penetration
  • Lubrication
  • Certified sustainability
  • Regulatory compliance

All in a single industrial solution, reducing operational complexity, indirect costs and the possibility of human error.
