Which spray gun type is known for its low volume, high pressure application?

The high pressure airless spray gun is recognized for its low volume, high pressure application. This type of spray gun operates by using a piston pump to create a very high fluid pressure, allowing the coating material to be atomized without the need for compressed air. Because of this mechanism, it can efficiently apply coatings in a fine mist, suitable for various applications including those where a thick film is required, such as with certain types of paints and coatings used in the composite industry.

This method is particularly advantageous for achieving high transfer efficiency, reducing overspray, and ensuring a uniform finish, especially on larger surfaces. The technology enables the painter to apply materials at high velocity, thereby improving the quality of the finish while using less material overall compared to other methods. In contexts where low volume application is necessary while still maintaining a high pressure, high pressure airless systems are preferred for their effective and consistent results.
