PPG SPRAYMASTER Portable Spray System for Exterior Woodwork

PPG’s The Future of Coatings’ Technology Innovation Day was held at the company’s European HQs in Amsterdam. Among the innovations being highlighted was the PPG SPRAYMASTER.

The PPG SPRAYMASTER is a portable spray-paint system specifically designed for exterior woodwork. The low-pressure device and unique nozzle design, reduces overspray and provides a perfect finish. It is up to 50% faster compared to brush/roller application, providing quick drying and excellent opacity in one layer.

Key facts

• Outdoor woodwork painting is typically done by brush and roller; conventional spray equipment is not suitable because of the large amount of overspray and spray dust it creates.
• The PPG SprayMaster system’s patented low-pressure spray gun allows for the spraying to happen close to the substrate, significantly reducing overspray.
• Narrow exterior areas can now easily be reached while minimizing spray dust and the need for masking.
• It is also more ergonomic for painters versus climbing a ladder and staying in an uncomfortable position while holding a can of paint.
• Painter and end-users benefit from efficiencies including:
– Fast drying time: Faster return to service and doors and windows can be closed within working day
– No need for a second layer: Scaffolding can be removed right after the paint job
• Customer tests showed that the PPG SprayMaster system can deliver time saving of up to 50% compared to conventional brush and roller applications.
• The higher layer thickness applied with the system provides excellent opacity in a single layer without any concerns regarding open time or brush marks.
