1.3 Field of Application (Intended Use)

The Finespray Applicators 97715 and 97725 are high performance spray
applicators and precision tools. They are designed for finest applications of low
viscose Loctite Frekote® products. To the difference to the 97715, the 97725 is a
High Volume Low Pressure applicator. The HVLP applicator 97725 is working with
lower input and jet pressure and with higher air volume. The atomized spray (jet) is
considerable finer and the overspray is lower.
The applicator 97715 has a 90° flat fan, 97725 a 60° flat fan air cap.
It is not suitable for spraying aggressive fluids, like acids, alkaline solutions,
cleaning agents (chlorinated hydrocarbons) or chemicals.
Always keep clean and observe minimum instructions to maintain a long useful life
of the applicator.
Depending on viscosity of fluid the following nozzle bores are available:
∅ 0.3 and ∅ 0.8 mm (only one size of air cap is required).
– The standard version of the Finespray applicator 97715 has a nozzle bore of
0.5 mm and flat spray pattern air cap with approx. 90° spray angle.
– The standard version of the Finespray applicator HVLP 97725 has a nozzle bore
of 0.5 mm and flat spray pattern air cap with approx. 60° spray angle.
If round spray is required, just replace air cap by a round spray air cap.
Flat spray air cap can be positioned for horizontal, vertical or any in between
position of jet.
For special air caps with other spray angles please contact your LOCTITE
representative.
