EPA & Techinal Tips | Which Sprayer to Use
EPA & TECHNICAL TIPS: Which Sprayer to Use?
At FBS, we offer many unique solutions in spraying & dispensing a wide range of chemical products. In our 20 years of working with sprayer technology, we see many paint refinish and chemical companies manufacture a product without giving much thought in how to dispense it? The educated customer is our best customer! Thus the challenge we all face. For many years, the FBS brand of "Pump & Spray" hand sprayers were, and still are the “Industry Standard” for applications of wax and grease removers.
Problem…
In many situations compressed sprayers equipped with VITON and/or EPDM seals will not work with certain chemicals due to an incompatibility issue. To further this concern, it appears that when some chemicals are blended they produce reactive agents, and sealing materials tend to fail over time. Chemicals and sprayers that were compatible in the past are now breaking down due to changes in formulas. Plastic components also degrade when exposed to products like mineral spirits, paint thinners, toluene and acetone to name a few. For additional information regarding compatibility, please refer to the Chemical Compatibility Index and a Cross Reference Chart – Refinish Products at: www.fbs-online.com.
Solvent & Waterborne Low VOC Products…
The Number of practical and cost effective VOC-exempt solvents is very limited. Exempt solvents used in coatings and cleaners in the U.S. include Acetone, Methyl Acetate, TBAC, and PCBTF. Problem is, VOC-exempt solvents are either, not compatible with standard VITON and/or EPDM sealing materials (fail) or plastic materials in the pumps will deteriorate, case with acetone.
