ITW Ransburg’s REATM (Electrostatic Air) and

REMTM, and M90TM (Electrostatic Air Assisted/

Airless) equipment can be operated satisfactorily,

in most installations, using the same paint

formulation used with the comparable non-

electrostatic equipment. However, the user who

wishes to experiment to improve performance

may try the following three variations in the paint

formulation:

1. Decrease Viscosity:Decrease Viscosity:

Decrease Viscosity:Decrease Viscosity:

Decrease Viscosity:

To do this, add more of the solvent normally used

or replace the normal solvent in whole or part with

a solvent having increased solvency.

With many higher viscosity or higher solids

coatings, heat may be required or more desirable

to reduce viscosity.

Paints of lower viscosity require less air or hydraulic

atomizing force which reduces the forward velocity

of the atomized paint. Lower velocity results in

higher electrostatic efficiency and corresponding

decrease in overspray loss.

The useful ranges of viscosity varies considerably

for different coating materials and applications,

depending on the various requirements of film

thickness, hiding, texture, etc.

2. Increase Flowability:Increase Flowability:

Increase Flowability:Increase Flowability:

Increase Flowability:

This can be done by replacing all or part of the

usual solvent with one having a slower evaporation

rate. This permits the paint to flow out better, both

on the front face of the part and on electrostatic

wrap-around areas. Wrap-around generally tends

to be slightly drier than paint which has been

deposited on the front face. The effect of increased

flowability can be illustrated by paints which will

hide poorly at 1.2 to 1.5 mils total dry film thickness

if they have not flowed out properly, versus the

same paints which have very good hiding at .8 to

1.0 mil when they have been well-atomized and

have good flowability.

In general, the degree of flowability which can

be tolerated is governed by the other physical

requirements of the application.

Paint Formulation for REA, REM, and M90 Guns

Figure 1 will aid in selection of solvents that will

increase electrical resistance of the formulation.

ITW Ransburg’s Bulletin TL-00-02 "Solvent

Selection" covers solvent selection and recom-

mended electrical resistance ranges for ITW

Ransburg’s No. 2 Process rotary atomizers, both

automatic and manual equipment. These

recommendations have been misinterpreted by

many who are concerned with paint formulation for

REA and REM guns. Bulletin TL-00-02 DOES

NOT apply to this non-rotating equipment.

There are isolated cases where the use of a

certain conductive solvent actually improved the

performance of a given paint in REA and REM

guns; however, this improvement resulted from

decrease in viscosity and/or increase in flowability

and not because of decrease in resistance. It is

emphasized that this improvement was in spite of

decreased resistance and not because of it.

If all other factors are held constant, the higher the

paint resistance, the higher will be the efficiency

when using the REA and REM guns. Therefore,

when using Ransburg Paint Tester with REA and

REM equipment, efforts to increase paint

resistance, while still maintaining the same quality

of atomization and flow, will yield maximum paint

transfer efficiency.

WITH REA, REM, AND M90 GUNSWITH REA, REM, AND M90 GUNS

WITH REA, REM, AND M90 GUNS

The electrical characteristics of paint formula-

tions used in REA systems are necessarily of

interest and are critical to gun performance.

When using the Paint Resistance Tester with

metallic paints, the low voltage battery of the test

probe may not influence the metal particles,

therefore, their presence may go unrecognized by

the meter. When such formulations are placed in

electrostatic units and high voltage applied, the

metal particles may become aligned by the

electrical field. This may result in an appreciable

flow of current to ground by way of the paint

system. While the flow of current causes no

immediate dangerous condition, it may drain some

or all the high voltage from the electrode and

reduce or eliminate electrostatic efficiency.

Since the Paint Resistance Tester is unable to

predict this condition, alternate methods must be

employed to determine the suitability of such

coatings for use in electrostatic equipment. The

method recommended is essentially to place the

coating in a operating unit and measure the current

flow to ground. This flow is most conveniently

measured by the current demand test, detailed

later.

A sustained period of excessive or maximum

current demand, such as when using a highly

conductive paint, may cause permanent damage

to the equipment. This damage may lead to unsafe

operating conditions and require the gun to be

repaired.

The tolerable quantity of metal particles in a paint

formulation has often been expressed by two

rules of thumb:

1. A maximum of 4 (weight) ounces (1/4 lb.) per

gallon paint (4.8 ounces per Imperial gallon).

2. 3% metal particles by weight.

Although these two rules are valid in most cases,

caution should be used in applying any rule of

thumb to a specific situation. There are many

instances where amounts greater than these have

worked satisfactorily, while small amounts have

not worked at all.

> Some highly conductive metallic paint

may be sprayed in fluid supplies of REA

style guns with the use of a coiled fluid tube

(75228-XX) or ShortstopperTM (77821-XX or

77822-XX). REA guns should NEVERNEVER

tions are available from Ransburg Dis-

tributors. All paints, however, should be

subjected to individual testing to establish

specific working parameters.

Figure 2 lists a few of the factors that influence

metallic coatings. The column at the left indicates

those factors that are more likely to improve the

paints electrical characteristics, while those at the

right are less likely to work.

Even though a certain coating has been proven

satisfactory for use in REA guns, additional steps

are necessary:

1. The system may require periodic flushing with

clean solvent (daily as required).

2. The coating should not be allowed to remain in

the system overnight or during long shutdowns.

3. Frequent (daily) current demand tests should

be performed for the first few weeks of operation.

When the system has proven satisfactory, and no

undesired readings have been obtained, the test

can be reduced to once a week or less.

(Reference Figure 3)

Prior to performing a current demand test, the

system should be tested to ensure that short

circuit current is within proper limits. Refer to

the appropriate service manual for details on

performing the Short Circuit Current (SCI) Test.

A current demand test is performed by placing

the paint to be used into an operating system,

holding the gun a minimum of three feet (arms

length) from any grounded object, pulling the

trigger, and observing the meter. The reading

obtained depends on the condition of the gun,

condition of the electrical system, and the

PAINT ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE.

A current demand test will have one of two possible

results: a normal current demand reading of 0-90

(75 for REM & M90 Classic units) microamperes

or an excessive reading of over 90 microamperes.

A normal reading of 0 to 90 (75 for REM & M90

Classic units) microamperes, indicates the paint

resistance is within the approved range.

A reading in excess of 90 (75 for REM & M90

Classic units) microamperes indicates that either

the paint conductivity is too high or the gun is

defective. Flush the system with solvent to remove

the metallic paint. Blow the fluid line dry with

compressed air. Repeat the current demand test

with the gun empty. If the reading is now normal (0

to 60 microamperes) the paint is too conductive

and should not be used in the system. If a high

reading is obtained, the gun is defective and must

be repaired.

In some cases as a means of reducing current

draw to enable the use of metallic and some low

resistance coatings in REA type guns, a smaller

or reduced I.D. fluid tube or a coiled fluid tube may

be used. A similar device called the Shortstopper

may also be employed. In this instance, ground

shielded tubing is used uncoiled. By reducing the

fluid tube inside diameter, the following actions

occur:

1. The decreased size of the fluid tube increases

the velocity of the material, thereby reducing the

possibility of the metallic particles shorting to

ground.

2. The decreased inside diameter increases the

resistance to electrical flow, thereby reducing

current draw.

These methods have proven successful in most

installations, however, it is recommended that

testingbedonewitheachindividualcoatingmaterial

to ensure the best performance.
