    Abstract

    If you believe that the selection of guns or bells for your coating application technology is based solely on atomization and transfer efficiency, you are only considering half of the picture. In this paper, we examine some little-known facts about guns and bells — things that your supplier never told you — and how these “secrets” affect the application of waterborne, solventborne, and UV-cure coatings, specifically with regard to surface finish. We distill these factors into practical guidelines to help you select the best applicator for your project so that you may more than double your chances to obtain your desired finish results with high first-pass yields and minimal finish-related rejects.
