Hi looking at spraying akvi primer and top coat to doors ,door frames and skirtings in a new build house ,what needle size would you recommend when using hvlp set up |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
For airless spraying, the product is thinned approximately 0–10% to the viscosity 40–80s (DIN4). Recommended nozzle tip is 0.011"–0.015" and pressure 100–160 bar. Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object. For air-assisted airless spraying, the product is thinned approximately 0–10% to the viscosity 40–80s (DIN4). Recommended nozzle tip is 0.011"–0.015" and pressure 40– 120 bar. Atomising air pressure should be about 1–3 bar. Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object. For conventional spraying, the product is thinned approximately 0–10% to the viscosity 40–80s (DIN4). Recommended nozzle tip is 1.4–1.8 mm and pressure 2–3 bar. | |
