Application By Paint brush
Benefits
Good wetting of the substrate
Forces the paint into the surface
Better than roller on the first coat
Good on areas with poor accessibility
Limitations
Gives low film thickness, many coats required
Creates an uneven film
Application speed is slow

Good on areas with poor accessibility
Limitations
Poor wetting of the substrate
Never use for the first coat
Incorporates air into the paint film
Gives low film thickness, many coats required

Procedure For Cleaning of Airless
Spray Equipment (1 of 2)
Release the pressure and secure the gun
Remove the spray tip and clean it thoroughly
Blow through the nozzle with compressed air
Clean the suction device outside.
Empty the suction device for paint
Put thinner / cleaner under suction device
- Use pressure in the range of 1-2 Kg / cm ² to force
residual paint in the pump back into the paint tin
- Allow the thinner to circulate in the system for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes

increased roughness
• Increased risk of
