A specialized substance designed to reduce friction and wear within the internal mechanisms of a tool used for atomizing and applying coatings. This substance often takes the form of a light oil, grease, or a dry lubricant, formulated to be compatible with the materials used in the tool’s construction, including metals, plastics, and rubber seals. For example, specific varieties are formulated to prevent premature degradation of O-rings and needles within pneumatic application devices.
Proper application of this substance is critical for maintaining the operational efficiency and longevity of the tool. It ensures smooth movement of internal components, prevents corrosion, and minimizes the risk of clogging. The use of appropriate formulations extends the tool’s service life, reduces downtime for repairs, and contributes to a consistent and high-quality finish in coating applications. Furthermore, regular use reduces the effort required for operation, improving operator comfort and reducing fatigue.
