INTRODUCTION TO SPRAYING
USING THE XVLP PROCEDURE
XVLP (E

ressure) is a low pressure spraying
technique, which works with a high volume of air and a low air
pressure. The greatest advantage of this spraying technique
is the low paint mist formation. This reduces the amount re-
quired to cover the object to a minimum.
As opposed to conventional application of coatings, this
method achieves a highly economical and perfect surface
quality and is, at the same time, environmentally friendly.
Function description
The paint spraying system consists of a motor-operated tur-
bo-blower, which provides the spray gun with atomisation air
through an air hose.
In the spray gun, a part of the atomisation air is used to pres-
surise the container. This pressure causes the coating material
to be fed through the uptake pipe to the nozzle where it is
atomised by the rest of the atomisation air.
All settings necessary for operation (e.g. material volume) can
be conveniently made, directly on the gun.

COATING MATERIAL
6.1 COATING MATERIALS SUITABLE FOR USE
Solvent-based and water-soluble lacquer paints
Mordants, glazes, impregnations, oils, clear varnishes, syn-
thetic enamels, coloured paints, alkyd resin varnishes, prim-
ers, radiator paints, hammer effect enamels, anti-rust paints,
special-effect paints, textured paints
6.2 COATING MATERIALS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE

paint, caustic solutions and acidic coating substances.
Flammable materials.
6.3 COATING MATERIALS THAT CAN ONLY BE
PROCESSED WITH RELEVANT SPRAY
ATTACHMENT (ACCESSORIES)
Interior wall paint (dispersions and latex paint)
6.4 PREPARING THE COATING MATERIAL
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the
use of the coating material on the paint tin or on
the technical instruction sheet.
Coating material purity:
An absolute pre-condition for the trouble-free operation of
the fine-spray system is that the coating material is uncontam-
inated. If you have doubts as to the purity of the coating mate-
rial, we recommend that you first filter it through a fine sieve.
