It's quite simple, really. Our aim is to eliminate wasteful overspray and get as much coating material on the target as possible. This is achieved by negatively charging atomized paint particles so that they are attracted to the grounded workpiece, opposites attract.

A charging electrode is located at the tip of the electrostatic spray gun or atomizer. The paint is atomized as it moves past the electrode, and its particles become ionized - negatively charged. An electrostatic field is created between the charging electrode and the grounded workpiece, and the spray is concentrated within it.

Further atomization is achieved as charged particles repel each other to form a fine cloud. As a result of electrostatic attraction, spray that would normally be lost ends up on the back and sides of the workpiece to produce a "wrap-around " effect.

Why Electrostatic?

Electrostatics is an environmentally responsible way to atomize paint, because it significantly increases quality and production, equally decreases paint costs, VOC emissions and maintenance, and makes change of coatings easy.

The Advantages Are...

• Increased transfer efficiency and reduced overspray, which results in significant cost savings and reduced VOC emissions.
• No down time. Items can be refinished in the evening and be operational the next morning.
