Q
  1. pot life
A

“length of time after mixing the coating remains usable and can be correctly applied
time and temperature dependent
high temp = reduce pot life
low temp = increase pot life
(epoxy /poly = have pot life)”

Q

individual components are mixed together first before putting together use

A

air pneumatic tool

21
Q

Manual Application equipment “

A

1.Burshes - best for unever surfaces, touchup repairs, and for stripe coating
2. Rollers - good for large, smooth flat areas, that do not require smooth finish. Disadvantage - incorrect nap thickness, film defciencies, wet edge issue, orange peel

22
Q

Spray Application equipment

A

“1. Airless Spray - atomization is through high pressure that forces coating through a small hole
2. Convention Spray - Atomization is through a stream of compressed air
2-5x faster than roller/brush”

23
Q

Conventional Spray System (air atomized)

A

“Advantage - Produces a uniform, finer finish and higher quality, operator control , air atomized
Disadvantage - lower production rate , lower transfer efficency, may require thinning, improper setup or operations.
Good for inorganic zinc coatings, where as high pressure airless sytem can cause zinc powder to separate out from the liquid”

24
Q

HVLP Sray Systems (Specialty)

A

Uses a high volume of air at low pressure to propel the coating on the substrate
Advantage - 2x as efficient as conventional spray due to low pressure used, Used mostly for VOCs are a concern
Disadvantage - lower production rate than conventional”

25
Q

Airless Spray system

A

thicker dry film thickness needed
ideal for viscous/high solids/high build coating such as zinc based coatings and epoxies
Advantage - highest production rate , 2x-4x application rate of other system, high transfer efficiency, less overspray ,less waste, can atomize viscous coatings
Disadvantage -fixed spray pattern , less operator control over atomization, hazardous spray”

26
Q

Conventional Spray System Equipments (7)

A

“1. Compressor
2. Oil and Water Trap
3. Air hose
4. Regulators - controls the amount of compressed air and coating material that reaches the gun
5. Pressure Pot - stores and pressurizes the coating material
6. Fluid Hose
7. Pressure Fed Spray Gun”

27
Q

Airless spray equipment (5)

A

“1. High pressure , dual action piston pump
2. Compressor
3. Container (non pressurized)
4. Airless Spray Gun and Tip
5. High pressure Hose”

28
Q

Air-Assisted Airless Spray System

A

hybrid airless/convention system, operates at lower pressure than airless but results in higher efficiency and less overspray. Lower pressure = higher transfer efficiency

29
Q

Plural Component Spray system controls the mix ration, uses heat to reduce viscosity versus thinner , utilized for

A
  1. 2 components
  2. have short pot life
  3. high solids by volume content
  4. highly viscous
    Disadvantage - expensive , not suitable for coating that require an induction time”
30
Q

Conventional Spray System troubleshoot

A

“1. insufficent pressure - poor atmoization 2. Contaminated Air - damages equipment and contaminates surfaces 3. Overspray 4. Incorrect equipment set-up 5. Overthining”

31
Q

Airless Spray Systems troubleshoot

A

“1. Poor atomization 2. Incorrect or damage spray tips 3. Insufficient Pressure”
