P 45S is a general-purpose rutile-cellulose electrode for welding all types of low-carbon and unalloyed steels. All welding positions are suitable, including top-down welding. The arc is stable and produces a smooth beam surface and easy slag removal. P 45S is relatively insensitive to dirt, rust and coatings, as well as to cracks in the groove. This makes P 45S ideally suited as a general purpose bar for both workshop and installation conditions.
