As spray painting continues to gain popularity, it is only normal that painting companies continue to find easier and more convenient ways to deliver quality spray painting work. Airless paint spraying is one such way. Unlike spraying with compressed air, airless spray painting uses material pressure without the air.
How do they work?
An airless paint zoom sprayer utilises a pump to bring the paint material up with a pressure of about 250 bar, and then the material passes through an airless spray gun. When the spray gun (valve) is opened, the paint material is forced through an opening of the airless tip. The size of the tip used depends on the spraying requirements. It also determines the spray jet width and the flow rate. The difference in pressure between the atmosphere and the coating material creates atomisation of the air.
Benefits of airless paint spraying
Compatibility with a variety of materials
Airless spray painting works well with a variety of materials such as; PVC paints, primers, sealants, silicon resin paints, water-based paints, lacquers, fillers, emulsion paints, varnishes, oils, solvent-based paints, adhesives, corrosion protection paints, and so many others.
Variety of applications
Airless paint spraying is a technique that is also suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether to the exterior or interior, airless paint spraying can be used to spray different items like; walls, windows, doors, radiators, roof lines, ceilings, brickwork, steel and wood constructions.
It is economical
When you spray paint using regular high-pressure paint sprayers, there is always a chance of over-spraying from the pressure, which only causes a good amount of paint to spray in the air and waste. Airless paint spraying, on the other hand, uses less paint since the air is atomised.
Wider area coverage in less time
Another top benefit of airless paint spraying is the fact that the sprayers can spray out quite a lot of paint within a short period of time to cover more area. This makes airless paint spraying ideal for walls and other large surfaces.
Quality finish
When it comes to achieving a uniform and perfect coating, airless paint spraying is the way to go. This is because, unlike rollers and brushes that can leave marks/lines, the sprayers rush out the paint into tiny droplets that will evenly and completely cover the surface, leaving a professional-looking finish. So you have nothing to worry about with textured and uneven surfaces as every inch will be covered evenly.
Easy of use
Airless paint sprayers are very portable and simple to use. They can be powered by electricity, battery, or gas pumps that are easily transportable. This makes it easy to move around from one area to another.
Conclusion:
When it comes to a spray painting technique, requirements like good quality of finish, less time spent, costs, portability, and ease of use should always be considered. Consider reaching out to paint spraying professionals like PBM Paints, even just for advice. Airless paint spraying is beneficial in the fact that it easily meets all of these requirements.
