Operational Description
The TEKNA BASECOAT Spray Gun is a lightweight professional gun designed to handle both water-based and
solvent-based coating materials.
High volume, low pressure (HVLP) models are designed to reduce overspray and provide maximum transfer
efficiency by limiting air cap pressure to 0.7 bar (10 psi) (complies with rules issued by SCAQMD and other air
quality authorities).
HVLP models will produce approximately 0.7 bar (10 psi) air cap pressure at 1.6 bar (24 psi) gun inlet pressure
with the trigger pulled. HVLP air cap HV20 is designed for optimum basecoat applications. An air cap test kit is
available (see Accessories) which can be utilized to set the exact air cap pressure.
IMPORTANT: These guns are not designed for use with highly corrosive and/or abrasive materials and if
used with such materials it must be expected that the need for cleaning and/or replacement of parts will be
increased. If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of a specific material, contact your TEKNA Distributor.
NOTE: This gun is not to be used with halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or cleaning agents such as
1,1,1,-Trichloroethane or methylene chloride. These solvents can react with the aluminium components
used in this gun and cup. The reaction can become violent and lead to an equipment explosion.
