INTRODUCTION TO SPRAYING USING THE HVLP PROCEDURE
HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) is a low pressure spraying technique, which works with a high volume of air and a low air
pressure. The greatest advantage of this spraying technique is the formation of paint mist. This reduces the amount of paint
required to cover the object to a minimum. As opposed to conventional application of coatings, this method achieves a highly
economical and perfect surface quality and is, at the same time, environmentally friendly.
Function description
The paint spraying system consists of a motor-operated turbo-blower, which allows atomisation to happen. In the spray gun, a
part of the air is used to pressurise the container. This pressure causes the coating material to be fed through the suction tube to
the nozzle where it is atomised by the rest of the pressurised air.
COATING MATERIAL
Coating materials suitable for use
Solvent-based and water-based lacquer paints Mordants, glazes, impregnation, oils, clear varnishes, synthetic enamels, coloured
paints, alkyd resin varnishes, primers, radiator paints, hammer effect enamel, anti-rust paints, special-effect paints, textured
paints.
Coating materials not suitable for use
Coating materials that contain highly abrasive components, facade paint, caustic solutions and acidic coating substances.
Flammable materials.
Coating materials that can only be processed with relevant spray attachment (Accessories)
Interior wall paint (dispersion and latex paint)
Observe the manufacturer's instructions for the use of the coating
i
material on the paint tin or on the technical instruction sheet.
PREPARING THE COATING MATERIAL
Coating material purity:
An absolute pre-condition for the trouble-free operation of the fine-spray system is that the coating material is uncontaminated.
If you have doubts as to the purity of the coating material, we recommend that you first filter it through a fine sieve.
