Installation Best Practices and Quality Control

The right materials are only effective when installed correctly. Best practices include:

• Clean Surfaces: Removing debris and contaminants ensures proper adhesion and long-term durability.

• Coating Preparation: Ensures pump priming and breaks surface tension for uniform application.

• Airless Sprayers: Provide consistent output and efficiency, supporting large jobs with multiple guns.

• Tip Selection: Fan width and orifice size directly affect coverage, efficiency, and control.

• Application Technique: Continuous motion, correct wet film thickness, and adequate cure time are key to success.

Each step ensures coatings perform to their full potential, protecting surfaces for the long term.
