Introduction Introduction
The contractor market for HVLP spray systems is the fastest-growing market
segment in the spray equipment industry. As you'll soon realize, HVLP sprayers
represent a tremendous opportunity to help painters become more competitive
and profitable. Used primarily for finishing work, HVLP sprayers work hand-in-
hand with airless equipment to help contractors reduce the time and material
necessary to complete a job.
The key is minimized overspray and control of the spray pattern. HVLP
systems* atomize coatings by supplying air at High Volume (up to 25 CFM –
cubic feet per minute) and Low Pressure (up to 10 PSI – pounds per square inch)
to the air cap for mixing with the fluid stream from the nozzle. The user can
expect transfer efficiency ranging from 65 – 90 percent and can finely control the
size and shape of the spray pattern, as well as the rate of application and
thickness of coats. The result is:
Less time masking and prep work
•
Less material waste
•
In addition, the high transfer efficiency of HVLP assists contractors to comply
with new clean air laws designed to reduce volatile organic compounds (V OC )
emissions. HVLP paint sprayers help protect the environment–and painters–by
reducing overspray and bounceback.
This manual will give an overview of HVLP technology and uses; it will also
