What is airless paint spraying? Simply put, airless paint spraying simply uses material pressure without air. An electric or pneumatic pump or gasoline engine puts the material under pressure and forces a specified amount of material through the tip hole at a maximum pressure of 250 bar. This converts the material into a spray.
Use the pump to bring the paint material to a pressure of up to 250 bar and then pass it through the airless spray gun.
When the airless paint valve (gun) is opened, the paint is forced through the opening in the airless nozzle of the required size. Atomization is created by the pressure difference between the coating material and the atmosphere.
The flow rate and spray width are determined by the airless spray tip.
Various materials can be sprayed with airless paint sprayers. We have summarized them here:
Water-based and solvent-based paints, varnishes, lacquers, oils, separators
Synthetic resin-based coatings, PVC coatings, 2-K lacquers
Primers, fillers
Fireproof coatings, anti-corrosion coatings
Emulsions, emulsion paints, adhesives, sealants
Masonry coatings, roofing coatings, flooring coatings, silicone coatings
Fillers and other high viscosity materials
Choosing the right airless spray gun depends on various factors such as your project requirements, the type of materials you will be spraying, and your budget. Here are some steps to help you select the right airless spray gun:
Determine your project requirements: Consider the type of surfaces you will be spraying (interior walls, exterior surfaces, furniture, etc.), the size of the area, and the type of material you will be using (paint, lacquer, stain, etc.). This will help you narrow down the selection.
Consider the PSI (pounds per square inch) rating: The PSI rating indicates the pressure at which the spray gun operates. Higher PSI is suitable for larger surfaces and thicker materials, while lower PSI is better for smaller projects and delicate materials.
Look for adjustable pressure and flow control: Having the ability to adjust the pressure and flow will give you better control over the spray pattern and thickness. This is particularly useful when working with different materials or surfaces.
Check for airless nozzle options: Different airless spray nozzles produce different spray patterns (wide, narrow, circular, etc.) and allow for different paint thicknesses. Ensure that the spray gun you choose has compatible nozzle options that meet your project requirements.
Consider the gun's weight and ergonomics: If you have a large project or will be using the paint spray gun for an extended period, consider the weight and ergonomics of the gun. A lightweight and well-balanced spray gun will help reduce fatigue and improve maneuverability.
Read reviews and compare brands: Research different brands and models of airless spray guns, read customer reviews, and compare their features, durability, and performance. This will help you identify reliable and reputable options.
Consult professionals or experts: If you still have doubts or specific questions, consider consulting with professionals in the field or experts at a local hardware or paint sprayer store. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs.
By considering these factors and doing thorough research, you can choose the right airless spray gun that will meet your project requirements and help you achieve the desired results.
