P45S is a multi-purpose rutile-cellulosic coated electrode suitable for a wide application range in mild steel. The electrode is fully positional, including vertical down and welds with a crisp, steady arc to produce a smooth bead surface with good slag detachability.

Relatively insensitive to rust, dirt and surface coatings. Together with its ability to bridge gaps, the general versatility of P45S makes it ideal for both shop and site fabrication.

Packed in shrunk wrapped cardboard packets.
