Atomization
Atomization is the process of using pressurized air to reduce liquids into very small particles.
When utilizing a spray gun to apply a coating, proper atomization is required to transfer the coating onto a targeted object.
Proper atomization will result in a controlled spray, where the coating particles propelled from the spray gun nozzle will create a smooth uniform finish.
Adjustments to the air pressure will alter the particle size of the coating and provide different results in the wet finish.
HIGHER AIR PRESSURES (15-30 PSI) WILL REDUCE PARTICLE SIZE AND WILL CREATE A SMOOTH WET FINISH.
LOWER AIR PRESSURE (5-15 PSI) WILL INCREASE PARTICLE SIZE AND CAN CREATE A TEXTURED WET FINISH.
