What is airless spraying?
What is Airless Spray Painting in simple terms? Airless spray painting is a method of applying paint without using compressed air. Instead, it relies on material pressure to spray the paint.
A pump which can be powered by electricity, air, or petrol pressurises the paint and forces it through the nozzle at a maximum pressure of up to 3625psi, creating the spray.Â
How does spraying with airless work?
An airless paint sprayer uses the pump to build up pressure, up to 3625 psi, in the paint material. The pressurised paint is then forced through an airless spray gun. When the paint valve is opened, the paint passes through an opening in the spray tip, which determines the flow rate and width of the spray. The pressure difference between the paint and the atmosphere – atomises the paint, creating a fine mist for application.
Please note that our airless paint sprayers work with different pressures and therefore not all materials can be used with every machine.
Which materials can be used with airless sprayers?
Airless paint sprayers can handle a variety of materials, including water-based and solvent-based paints, varnishes, lacquers, oils, separating agents, synthetic resin-based paints, PVC paints, 2-K lacquers, primers, fillers, fireproofing paints, corrosion protection paints, emulsion and latex paints, adhesives, sealants, masonry paint, roof linings, floor coatings, silicon resin paint, and fillers with high viscosity.
How is airless spray painting different from using a paint roller or brush?
What is airless spray painting and who is it suitable for?
Airless spray painting is a technique that can be used by anyone who needs to perform regular and high-volume paint work. WAGNER airless paint sprayers, equipped with the new WAGNER HEA technology, allow both experienced decorators and first-time users to achieve excellent spray results easily.
