Advanced technology to control and contain your spray pattern 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 Air Assist Containment (AAC) technology 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 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...
