Atomization

Atomization is the process of using pressurized air to reduce liquids into very small particles.

When utilizing a spray gun to apply a coating, proper atomization is required to transfer the coating onto a targeted object.

Proper atomization will result in a controlled spray, where the coating particles propelled from the spray gun nozzle will create a smooth uniform finish.

Adjustments to the air pressure will alter the particle size of the coating and provide different results in the wet finish.
