Airless Spray Guns

Q. I'm having a problem finding an airless spray gun to spray intumesent paint, the data sheets state minimum PSI should be 3500. I cannot find one. Can you advise please?

A. You can purchase any number of airless spray guns from companies such as Graco, ITW-DeVilbiss and others. These spray guns are commonly used even at higher pressures, to apply floor and roof coatings, marine coatings, etc.

I suggest that you contact Graco and ITW-DeVilbiss in the UK, but I have no doubt that other vendors also exist.

Best wishes,
