EPA & TECHNICAL TIPS: Air Quality – The Importance of Clean, Dry Air

Waterborne basecoats are more sensitive to contamination from oil, water and debris. Air quality is critical to the outcome of your waterborne basecoat finish. The air exiting the spray gun needs to be clean and dry. Every component, from the compressor to the final filtration unit, plays a critical role in delivering high quality air to the gun for atomization.

Key Concepts:

• Clean, dry air is critical

• Waterborne is more sensitive to contamination

• Multi-stage filtration is required

• Refrigerated air dryer (highly recommended)

• Regular air equipment maintenance is a must

 

Considerations:

• Do we need an additional compressor to meet our CFM needs for equipment?

• Do we need to reconfigure our piping?

• Do we need to add a refrigerated drying unit?

• Do we need to add multi-stage filtration?

• Did we update and implement a new maintenance schedule?
