Spraying Methods
Air-Assisted Airless
Electrostatic Spray
When to use HVLP Equipment
Air-assisted airless sprayers offer fine finish capabilities combined with
a medium production rate. Air-assisted technology uses a combination of
airless and air spray. Fluid pressure ranges from 200 to 1500 PSI, with air
intermixed at 5 to 25 PSI. The systems typically are found in stationary
and portable fine finish production applications.
Electrostatic spray systems charge the paint at the tip. The charged particles
move within the electrostatic field, which is attracted to the grounded object,
forming an even coating on its entire circumference. When used properly, the
result can be high transfer efficiency with uniform mil thickness.
A variety of electrostatic systems are available, including conventional airless
and air-assisted. Applications include chain link fences, wrought iron, lockers,
and metal office furniture.
HVLP equipment is classified as a finishing tool. It is not designed to be used
for covering large, flat surfaces, except when using specialty coatings, such as
multi-spec, or where overspray may be hazardous.
HVLP systems are designed to cut labor time, minimize waste, and improve
the final finish on the substrate. In addition to enhancing profitability, in
many states HVLP is compliant with the most stringent transfer efficiency
requirements. For this reason, you can expect that HVLP sprayer usage will
continue to grow at an accelerated pace.
