Spray gun for water based paint - why?
Pulverizer for water-based paint is specially made taking into account the peculiarities of this composition. It features high performance, large spray surface and ease of use. When working with water-based paint, there are specific features, focusing on which, and a sprayer was developed.
The use of the device is necessary for several reasons. First, the water-based paint dries very quickly. Full drying occurs in 1.5-2 hours, and partial - after five minutes. Therefore, working with her usual tools is inconvenient. The atomizer supplies the composition under low pressure, so that its partial drying ceases to be a problem. Secondly, such a mixture does not practically spread, so the brush can remain on the surface, which is unacceptable when painting. Using the atomizer, it is possible to apply evenly the layers, without forming patterns.
Tip! Despite the fact that the spray gun sprays the composition very well, it is optimal to cover the surface in two layers.
Sprayer types
So, knowing what a spray gun for water-based paint is, how to choose the best option? The first thing to know, there are three types of spray guns: manual, electric and pneumatic. The first option is the cheapest and simplest device. It should be chosen in those cases, if you need to do some one-time work and use it then from time to time. Also, it is perfect for repair with your own hands, because with its help you can spray chalk and lime solutions, that is, do whitewashing. Its productivity is 200-225 square meters per hour.
The second type, electric, is most widely distributed among beginners who first encounter such a tool. This is due to the fact that it operates from the power grid and does not require the use of any additional equipment. This greatly simplifies the work, so for home repair work is a very good option.
The last view is a pneumatic device. It is considered professional and is rarely used in household repairs. Compressed air is used for its operation, which is supplied from the compressor. The fact that it is necessary to use an additional compressor makes it profitable only for large-scale and large-scale works.
Note! Pneumatic apparatus can work with almost any composition.
How do I choose a replacement sprayer?
The spray gun for water-based paint is the preferred method of applying the formulation, but not the only one. You can also use a roller for water-based paint. When choosing it, you should pay attention to such features:
- Tool weight. If the roller is too heavy, then from a long work with it you will quickly tire, which will lead to less efficiency of work;
- The roller should be light-colored, as it is short. If the pile is long, then it will remain in the paint all the time and it will have to be pulled out from there;
- There should be no seams on the platen, as during the rolling on the surface there will remain a strip from it, because the water-based composition, as already mentioned, is weakly flowing;
- Comfortable handle. This factor also affects the duration and comfort of work.
Tip! It's better to spend money and buy a good tool that will provide you with a quality and pleasant work.
