Product Name
MixCoat SP-DPF Atomizing Air Tube Assembly with Quick-Lock Coupling (Pre-Assembled air tube kit) - SP-DPF Series (129302, 129303)
Brief Description
This product is a pre-assembled air tube kit designed as an accessory for the MixCoat DPF (Pneumatic Flex Spray) system, a specialized plural-component spray system. It includes atomizing air tubes, control air tubes, and a quick-lock coupling for seamless connection to the spray mixer. The assembly facilitates the precise mixing and atomized spraying of two-component coatings, sealants, and adhesives, particularly those with short pot lives, by efficiently delivering atomizing and control air to the spray head.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Application of two-component protective coatings.- Spraying high-solid epoxies, polyurea, and urethanes.- Stripe coating and touch-up applications.- Repair work for pipelines, sewers, and cracks.- Waterproofing and roofing applications.- Coating truck beds, tanks, and marine vessels.- Applying coatings in hard-to-reach or difficult access areas due to its flexible design when used with the DPF Flex system.- Dispensing materials with very short pot lives, ensuring consistent application before curing.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- Energy- Marine- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Metal Fabrication- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Chemical Industry- Government & Military
Special and Unique Features
- Pre-assembled kit for quick and efficient setup, reducing installation time.- Features a Quick-Lock Coupling for easy and secure connection to the spray mixer.- Specifically designed for use with MixCoat DPF (Pneumatic Flex Spray) systems, which are pneumatically driven for consistent performance.- Enables air-assisted spraying, ensuring precise and well-dosed application results.- Supports the application of materials with very short pot lives, critical for specialized coatings.- Facilitates coating in difficult-to-access areas when integrated with the DPF Flex system, offering enhanced maneuverability.
Key Properties
- Integral component of a plural-component spray system.- Delivers both atomizing air and control air to the spray nozzle for optimal material atomization.- Available in various lengths, such as 1.5m and 3m, to suit different application needs.- Contributes to accurate proportioning and thorough mixing of two-component materials at the point of application.- Ensures consistent spray quality and finish.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with a wide range of surfaces requiring protective coatings, including metal, concrete, and various substrates commonly found in industrial, marine, and construction environments.- Suitable for applying high-performance coatings such as polyurea, urethanes, and 100% solids epoxies.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other atomizing air tube assemblies specifically designed for plural component spray systems, provided they are compatible with the existing equipment.- Alternative application methods for two-component coatings, such as manual dispensing (e.g., MixCoat DM) or pneumatic dispensing without spray (e.g., MixCoat DPD), depending on the specific application requirements, material viscosity, and desired finish.- Different models of atomizing air tubes within the broader MixCoat system (e.g., SP-DPS series for MFQ/MFH mixers) may serve as substitutes if compatible with the specific dispenser model.
Comparison Note
The MixCoat SP-DPF Atomizing Air Tube Assembly is specifically engineered for the MixCoat DPF (Pneumatic Flex Spray) system. This system is distinguished by its flexible actuator, making it particularly effective for applications in hard-to-access areas and for materials with very short pot lives. This specialized design differentiates it from air tubes intended for other MixCoat systems (such as the DPS series) or general single-component spray equipment, highlighting its role in precise, air-assisted application of challenging two-component materials.
