2 Why Bulk Spray Adhesive? Lower adhesive material costs Less labor means faster application Increased flexibility in design process allows for better workflow Larger variety of spray adhesive options Ability to use two-part adhesives More control of spray pattern Improved operational efficiencies (less changeover) When you think of spray adhesives, 3M is quick to come to mind. Pair that innovation and selection with Graco quality and you get a great match. The strength of your adhesive bond is critical to your assemblies. 3M delivers more than just strong bonds. Across industries, across applications, 3M offers you a range of bulk adhesives that make it easy to solve your real-world assembly and bonding challenges. They offer fast and easy coverage of large areas including irregular and mildly textured shapes. When you choose bulk adhesives, often formulations are more demanding and designed to withstand the rigours of weather, moisture and temperature. To get the most out of these bulk adhesives, using proper dispensing equipment is key.

3 Choosing the Right Equipment It's as Easy as 1-2-3! Choose a Spray Gun + Hose + Fluid Supply to build your own Spray Adhesives System. STEP 1 Spray Guns The spray gun creates a fine mist to evenly apply the adhesive in a thin layer across the substrate. Graco's AirPro conventional spray gun has unique aircaps are designed for spraying waterborne and solventborne adhesives and sealants. For use in a variety of industries: Furniture Automotive Appliance Needle/nozzle sizes: in and 0.70 in (1.3 mm and 1.8 mm) Part Numbers Part Number Spray Type Nozzle in.

4 STEP 3 Fluid Supply There are two main fluid supply methods commonly used with spray adhesives. Pressure Pot A pressure pot works by placing the fluid into the vessel and pressuring it with air. The pressure created within the tank causes the fluid to flow out of the tank. Graco's lightweight, aluminum, pressure tanks are portability and feature a pressure relief valve, convenient fl uid outlet location and quick lock clamps. Ideal for small batches, special color applications or infrequent or build to order production Liners available for quick color change and easy clean-up Inexpensive, fl exible, and easily upgraded Accurate pressure control, especially at low pressures Spray Package 24C828 Pressure Pot see below Part Numbers Capacity 5 Gallon (19 liter) 5 Gallon (19 liter) 10 Gallon (38 liter) 10 Gallon (38 liter) Pumps and Pump Packages Supply pumps use air pressure to move a piston, which exerts force on a liquid. This force creates fluid pressure and pushes the fluid out of the outlet of the pump. Spray packages combine a spray gun and pump/pressure pot with a hose to provide a complete solution for moving the material from the container to the substrate. Graco's Triton air-operated diaphragm spray package applies a high quality, decorative fi nish to wood and metal parts. Supplies up to 35% extra air fl ow to gun for superior atomization Saves material and time during fl ushing, priming and color changes Delivers a consistent spray pattern and uniform fi lm thickness Reduces operator fatigue Sprays a wide variety of material viscosities Height in (cm) Weight lb (kg) Low Pressure (HVLP) Regulated to 15 psi (1.05 bar, MPa) Models with Agitators High Pressure Regulated to 100 psi (7 bar, 0.7 MPa) Low Pressure (HVLP) Regulated to 15 psi (1.05 bar, MPa) Models without Agitators High Pressure Regulated to 100 psi (7 bar, 0.7 MPa) 30.5 (77.5) 65 (30) (77.5) 74 (34) (88.0) 85 (39) Stand Mount Bare Spray Package (no gun/hose) Pail Mount Bare Spray Package (no gun/hose) Wall Mount Bare Spray Package (no gun/hose) (88.0) 76 (35)
