Note

Airless and air assisted airless spray technologies are not conventional air spray because the coating is not atomized by mixing it with compressed air. Electrostatic spray technology is also not considered conventional air spray because an electrostatic charge is employed to attract the coating to the work piece. Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 An electrostatic prep coating usually is clearly identified as an electrostatic prep coating on its accompanying material safety data sheet.
