Water-Based Paint Repair Tools and Equipment - Spray Gun
|
|
|
|
|
Spray guns used for water-based paint should not be used for solvent- based paint. | |
|
|
|
Generally, use a high volume low pressure (HVLP) type spray gun for water-based paint. | |
|
|
|
HVLP type is designed to be eco-friendly by operating at lower pressures than a conventional spray gun. This creates less overspray, reducing VOC emissions. | |
|
|
|
Different nozzle diameters and cup volumes are commercially available. Select the best suitable spec for the work being done. | |
|
*HVLP Type is a high-flow-rate/low-pressure spray gun which offers superior paint adhesion capabilities. Normal spray guns only apply 20?30% of the paint sprayed to a surface. HVLP spray guns apply 65% of the paint sprayed higher. Less paint volume is required when using a HVLP type gun, reducing material costs.
