Certain fluid stream configurations can benefit from switching from resin to solvent before concluding a mixing/spray
cycle. The solvent is dispensed directly behind the resin material and is used to push the resin material (and, as
a result, the mixed material) down the fluid path and to the spray device. The dispensed solvent comes at a cost
savings over the resin material and also provides a head start on the flushing of the pump and fluid lines before the
next color change.
The solvent push feature is available as an option for certain system configurations. See
