When you buy a drum of resin, you pay for every drop of material. It makes good economic sense to put as many of those drops as possible on the mold. GlasCraft’s exclusive Air-Assist Containment (AAC) wraps the spray pattern in a containment shield of air – preventing atomized droplets from escaping the spray pattern. Droplets that escape and end up on the floor, wall or employee’s clothing are a waste of money. AAC creates a spray pattern where the droplets travel to the mold at very low pressure. The low speed or “particle velocity” creates very little turbulence or disturbance in the...
