Airless paint spraying

An airless paint spraying system has a pump that forces paint up a hose and out of a spray gun, giving a superior paint finish.

Advantages of Airless Paint spraying

Better coating penetration

The coating penetrates better into pits and crevices.

A uniform coating

A uniform thick coating is produced, reducing the number of coats required.

Better adhesion

A very ‘wet’ coating is applied, resulting in good adhesion making the coating is less likely to fail and more likely to last for a long time.

Ideal for site use

Airless spray units are ideal for onsite paint spraying because they can be transported easily. The motors are not too heavy as they are usually less than 1 hp.

Great for large scale jobs

This technique is very versatile in that it can be used in interiors and exteriors on a variety of different types of projects ranging from roller shutter doors to huge expanses of metal clad roofs.

Up to 4 x faster

If you want to re-coat the surface quickly, airless spraying is the method to choose. Paint can be applied up to four times as quickly as with a brush and twice as fast as a roller. This can save up to 75% of labour time.

Reduced waiting times

As the airless technique covers large surface areas quickly, project managers don’t have to wait for long periods of good weather to schedule in exterior projects such as painting roofs.

Smoother finish

The liquid flows out from the gun quickly and easily meaning it lays paint on a surface evenly, unlike brushes or rollers, which leave ridges in the coating.

Less coats needed

The coating is thick, so not as many coats are needed as in other methods.

Suits any type of liquid

Any type of liquid can be applied using an airless gun, unlike the electrostatic method which doesn’t suit water based paints or paints containing metallic particles.

Quicker drying

Most coatings can be sprayed with very little thinner added, thereby reducing drying time. and decreasing the release of solvent into the environment.

Evironmental benefits

Most coatings can be sprayed with very little thinner added, thereby decreasing the release of solvent into the environment.

Paint can be applied up to four times as quickly as with a brush and twice as fast as a roller. This can save up to 75% of labour time.

How does Airless Spraying work?

The paint is pushed through a hose then out of a minute hole in the tip of a spray gun where it exits in a continuous stream under extremely high pressure.When it comes into contact with the air it breaks up into a spray of extremely small droplets.
