all safety devices and spray material supply, and are therefore suitable for AirCoat
applications.
4.1.1

PROCESSABLE MATERIALS

Water-dilutable paints such as are in principle divided into 3 groups:
Green Non-fl ammable (non-combustible) paints.
Yellow Paints with low fl ammability.
Red Flammable paints.
Only non-fl ammable (non-combustible) liquid spray materials (green group) can be
processed with the present spray system. The specifi c resistance of the spray material must
be between 1k.cm and 1M.cm.
The following recipe can be used to determine whether the spray material is non-
fl ammable:
Gew. % H O > 1.70 x Gew. % LM +
2
Where:
Gew. % Weight percent
H2O Water
LM Liquid organic phase (solvent mainly consisting of higher ethylene glycol esters).
ORG Solid organic phase (solids mainly consisting of binding agents and pigments).
Such paints behave like water in respect of fl ammability in liquid form (liquid phase) and
in sprayed form. Cleaners and thinners must also be non-fl ammable. A possible cleaner
and thinner is, e.g. water with less than 37 weight percent 1:1 butylene glycol/N-propanol.
Please contact your local WAGNER dealer and the paint manufacturer if you encounter
application problems.
