This manual provides recommended steps to reduce air emissions during automotive surface coating.
This manual, created by the Iowa Waste Reduction Center, provides practical steps to reduce air emissions in auto body surface coating. It covers spray equipment types, application techniques, cleaning methods, VOC content determination, and product selection. The guide emphasizes reducing VOCs and HAPs without expensive control devices, focusing instead on changes in materials, equipment, and techniques. It also introduces the Laser Touch™ targeting system as a tool to improve spray efficiency and consistency.
The manual is structured to help technicians reduce emissions while maintaining quality finishes, with sections on surface prep, undercoats, topcoats, and future trends in the industry.
It helps improve spray technique by providing real-time feedback on gun-to-part distance, gun angle, and targeting.
Provide spray technicians with a 'real-time' means of assessing their spray technique and improving spray performance.
Over 287,000 tons of VOCs released in the U.S. every year.
Ranging from $20,000 to $70,000.
