How to Spray Flawless Kitchen Cabinets | Pro Finish with Apollo HVLP Sprayer
What happens here
The presenter highlights a crucial financial and environmental benefit of HVLP systems: significantly reduced material waste and overspray. He points out that expensive 2K polyurethanes (like Renner A51) become even more costly once catalyzed. Airless sprayers, in contrast, often lead to a 'astronomical amount' of wasted material due to high fallout, overspray, and atomized paint dust floating around. HVLP, being a High Volume Low Pressure system, achieves a high transfer rate of product from the gun to the substrate, meaning more paint lands on the target and less becomes airborne dust. This results in a much cleaner work area, even after years of use in a dedicated spray booth, without dust accumulation on cameras or surrounding areas.
Goal: Understand how HVLP technology leads to reduced material waste, less overspray, and a cleaner spraying environment.
