Aerosol Atomization & Application

The relationship between valve performance, spray pattern, distance and coating build.

What it means

An aerosol coating is only as consistent as its delivery. Valve design, propellant, nozzle geometry and application distance influence atomization, overspray and the way the film builds on the surface.

What to control

  • Use the recommended spray distance and movement speed.
  • Apply thin, overlapping layers where specified.
  • Shake and prepare the aerosol according to the product instructions.
  • Control temperature, ventilation and overspray in the work area.
Technical note

Product performance, compatibility, drying, curing and regulatory information must be confirmed against the current TDS, SDS and label for the selected SKU.

Questions

Technology FAQ

Why does spray distance matter?

Distance affects atomization, overspray and coating build. Use the product-specific recommendation.

Why should I apply thin layers?

Thin layers help control coverage and reduce the risk of runs or uneven film formation.
