Introduction to airless spraying

Introduction to airless spraying
Professional contractors have favored airless spray painting since the technology was introduced over a century ago for a number of reasons:
1: Airless spraying can increase the speed. Airless spraying is faster and can get more done in less time with less manpower. Additionally, it is ideal for operations with short weather windows.

2: Airless spraying can improve the overall finish quality. Airless sprayers produce an even coat (called a mil build) on all types of surfaces, resulting in a high-quality finish.

3: Airless spraying is very flexible. Airless sprayers can be used for a variety of coatings on both indoor and outdoor jobs and can be easily transported around the job site.

Airless sprayers require neither a compressor nor a turbine.
Airless spraying is the fastest and most versatile way to achieve professional results and can spray the widest variety of materials without the need for thinning. In fact, using an airless sprayer is 10 times faster than using a brush, and at least four times faster than a roller!

Airless spray achieves this speed by atomizing or breaking up the liquid into small droplets without the use of compressed air. Instead, fluid is pumped through a nozzle at high pressure. The fluid exits the tip as a high-velocity stream of solids — which is destroyed when it hits the air — and then separates into very small droplets, forming the spray pattern.
