The present disclosure is directed to a process for applying a waterborne coating composition in a spray booth and a system thereof. The disclosure is particularly directed to a process for introducing water into incoming air for the spray booth to produce a conditioned spray booth having appropriate humidity levels. The process of this disclosure is particularly useful for applying a waterborne coating composition having effect pigments in a low humidity and high temperature climate.

Process and system for producing waterborne coating layer in high temperature and low humidity climate

A mobile radiation system is provided. The mobile radiation system comprises a mobile radiation device coupled to a control unit; a radiation blocker having an adaptor opening for receiving said mobile radiation device when said mobile radiation device is in a seated position on said radiation blocker; and a mobile carrier comprising a first compartment for housing said radiation blocker, a second compartment for housing said control unit, and a carrier motion device. The adaptor opening can dimensionally fit the mobile radiation device to block radiations from the mobile radiation device when said mobile radiation device is in the seated position. The mobile radiation device can produce radiation having peak radiation wavelength in a range of from about 250 nm to about 450 nm and can have a peak irradiation power in a range of from about 0.5 W/cmto about 10 W/cm.

This invention is directed to a method for producing a coating layer of a coating composition comprising two or more components. The two or more components are mixed post atomization. This invention is also directed to a spray gun having a spray needle comprising two or more spray channels for producing such coating layer.

Spray device and use thereof

This invention is directed to a method for producing a coating layer of a coating composition comprising two or more components. The two or more components are mixed post atomization. This invention is further directed to a method for producing a layer of a coating composition comprising a first component and a second component on a substrate using the spray gun.

Method for spraying two-component compositions

The present invention is directed to a method for controlling the viscosity of a sprayable mixture. The sprayable mixture forms a layer of a coating composition on an applied substrate and forms crosslinked network after drying and curing the layer. The dried and cured composition provides the substrate with a coating having a good appearance.

Method for controlling the viscosity of a sprayable mixture

This invention is directed to a spray device for spraying two or more components. The two or more components are maintained separated in the spray device and are mixed post atomization. This invention is also directed to a gravity fed spray gun and a system for spraying two or more components. This invention is further directed to a kit for converting an existing conventional single-component spray gun typically used for spraying a single component to a two-component spray gun for spraying two components.

Two-component spray device and use thereof

This invention is directed to a spray device for spraying two or more components. The two or more components are maintained separated in the spray device and are mixed post atomization. This invention is also directed to a gravity fed spray gun and a dual feeding device for spraying two or more components.

Dual feeding spray device and use thereof

The present invention is directed to a delivery device and a system for introducing the catalyst into the atomized coating composition. This invention is also directed to a system for producing a mixed composition comprising two or more components.

Device for introducing catalyst into atomized coating composition

A dispensing apparatus includes recirculating systems though which the dispersants are recirculated to prevent settling of solid components, such as pigments that may be present in the dispersants. The apparatus includes dispensers located on a movable table positioned inside a frame assembly of the apparatus. The table is positioned to dispense a selected dispersant into a container placed atop a weighing scale through the dispenser selected in accordance with a recipe. The weight of the selected dispersant is monitored by the weighing scale and once a desired amount of the selected dispersant is dispensed, a signal is received by the apparatus from the weighing scale to switch off the dispensing of the dispersant. The table is then moved to deliver the next dispersant, required in the recipe. The process is continued until all the desired dispersants are dispensed in the container to form the composition, such as an automotive paint.

Dispensing apparatus

A multi-component proportioning system for dispensing a multi-component coating composition is provided. The delivery system is particularly useful in providing multi-component compositions to a multi-component dispenser. The system provides very accurate mix ratios due to the consistent, reproducible displacement of components from the liquid pump assemblies used in the multi-component proportioning system regardless of viscosity. Such accuracy eliminates improper mixing of components that can lead to reworking and lost time, materials, and profits.

Multi-component proportioning system and delivery system utilizing same

An improved method and apparatus for applying a multicomponent coating composition onto a substrate. The method comprises separately transporting at least one component under pressure to a proportioning device which provides a controlled ratio of the components. The components of the coating composition are then mixed and coated onto the substrate at ambient temperature or, to accelerate curing, at moderate temperatures. The method is especially useful for applying multipackage refinish coating compositions.

A system for spraying a coating onto a substrate employing a vortex tube to supply warm air to a spray gun is disclosed. The system allows precise control of air temperature.

Spray apparatus comprising a vortex tube

A method of spraying a coating onto a substrate using low pressure, high volume air is disclosed. More specifically, the step of using a vortex tube with valves at both the hot and cold air discharge ends to supply the low pressure, high volume air to a spray gun is disclosed. The use of the vortex tube results in an inexpensive system, that can be used in electrically hazardous areas, and allows very precise control of air temperature.

Vortex tube used to supply LPHV air to spray apparatus

A multipackage system for providing a refinish coating composition and a method for applying the same onto a substrate. The method comprises separately transporting at least one component under pressure to a proportioning device which provides a controlled volumetric ratio of the components. The components of the coating composition are then mixed and coated onto the substrate at ambient temperature or, to accelerate curing, at moderate temperatures. The compositions involve new or modified existing chemistries that have a more limited pot life than conventionally formulated for commercial use.

Multicomponent system for a refinish coating composition and a method

A cleaning composition comprises an aqueous emulsion of a non-aromatic organic phase stabilized with a blend of surfactants. The emulsion is characterized by a low content of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and superior cleaning properties. This cleaner is particularly useful for removing both water soluble and organic solvent soluble materials from automotive surfaces being refinished.
