Trouble in the Spray Booth

Air compressors are standard issue in paint and gel spray booths. But as a fluid carrier, compressed air has its drawbacks. Static electricity disrupts surface distribution, attracts dust, and even poses a risk of sparking and combustion.

Compressed air is also turbulent by nature, with molecules of different sizes and properties in a constant jostle, producing unpredictable spray patterns and uneven coverage. In order to compensate, manufacturers are forced to overspray, using more paint or gelcoat than necessary while adding to harmful emissions.

Some gelcoats also react to the carrier,
causing a variety of undesirable results. There’s definitely room for improvement.

Enter Nitrowise

Nitrowise generators convert compressed air into heated, ionized, calmed-state nitrogen. This uniform, non-reactive carrier is ideal for distributing fluid coatings, eliminating both turbulence and static. 

The material and time savings are significant – up to 20% – and gelcoaters are starting to take note. As the before/after performance data continues to roll in, U.S. manufacturers are starting to jump in with both feet.

Plug-and-Play Operation

If you’re using a traditional spray system, you don’t need to change out existing equipment. You simply add the Nitrowise unit between your compressor and pump.

THE NITROWISE ADVANTAGE

Better Finish Quality: 

  • Heated gelcoat lays on smoothly and evenly
  • Improved adhesion and coverage, even in tight corners
  • Mitigates temperature and humidity impact

Saves Time and Material:

  • Improves transfer efficiency for up to 30% savings
    in gelcoat or paint usage
  • Speeds up application time
  • Delivers more consistent working time
  • Reduces rework needed for light spray areas

Reduces Waste and Emissions:

  • Reduces overspray and rebounding
  • Lowers emissions by up to 20%

Nitrowise technology is compatible with most spray systems on the market, including the MVP line of Patriot, UltraMax, and Pro gelcoaters, in both manual and robotic applications.

In fact, the inherent properties of nitrogen can enhance the performance of premium spray systems like the Patriot, allowing operators to maximize the full potential of machine, coating, and carrier for superior results.
