Metalmaster. It is not suitable for use in any other
potentially explosive atmosphere.
The Hammerite Metalmaster’s 3D Wrap precision
technology applies a static electric type charge to the
paint, which is then strongly attracted to earthed
metal objects. The charged paint particles wrap around
metal objects coating them on all sides making it possible
to paint, for example, railings front and back when
spraying from just one side. Overspray is low as metal
objects attract the charged particles more strongly than
non-metal objects.
Other benefits of the Hammerite Metalmaster gun:
•
Significantly more efficient than aerosol application,
achieving far less wastage.
•
Far quicker application, compared to using a
paintbrush or aerosol.
•
Minimal cleaning of the tool is required, even
when changing the paint colour.
•
An almost silent operation as there is no motor.
The Hammerite Metalmaster gun is a safe, quick and
efficient way of painting metal.
The Hammerite Metalmaster electrostatic spray
gun must only be used with Hammerite Metal Paint
