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.

What they say

Hide

falling on the ground. HVOP spraying, high volume, low pressure spraying has a high um amount of transfer rate of product going from your gun to your substrate. significantly higher than uh an airless sprayer. So, you don't have hardly any dust created. You don't have like tons of crushed atomized paint um silica dust floating around, floating outside of your spray area, inside the booth right here that I've been spraying in. I've been, you know, spraying in here for years and I barely have any amount of dust even floating out of this booth, even on my cameras. cameras are sitting right there. They don't get covered with dust, you know, in this uh in the spray booth coupled with an HBL system like the Apollo Precision 6. So,
