L0061 01-11.qxd:L0061 08/02 (A5).qxd 7/1/11 11:08 Page 4 INTRODUCTION HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is a type of spraying that allows you to spray extremely accurately but without all the overspray that occurs with the high pressure tank type equipment. In fact, in some parts of the world the high pressure systems are banned by law on environmental grounds and HVLP type systems are the only alternative for professional type spraying.
L0061 01-11.qxd:L0061 08/02 (A5).qxd 7/1/11 11:08 Page 5 This spray gun can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 25 to Fig.1 60 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Time how long it takes for the viscosity cup to empty (Fig 1). Using the above chart (or manufacturerʼs instructions) as a guide, determine if the material requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly. If the paint requires thinning, start with a 10% dilution of the paint.
L0061 01-11.qxd:L0061 08/02 (A5).qxd 7/1/11 11:08 Page 6 SPRAYING TECHNIQUE 1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or down 25-30cm (10”-12”) from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.4). 2. Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution over the whole area (Fig.4) 3. Do not tip the sprayer to more than 45˚ angle.
