Applications & Uses

Application Method
Materials

VG-160 is an abrasive free material, formulated with specially refined organometallic complex petroleum products fortified with special additives. Low aromatic content rule mineral spirits are used as the carrier solvent to achieve the best possible odor during application and drying.

Applications

This atomizes at moderate spray pressures for greater control with less overspray, spray back and fogging. Optimum sprayablilty and efficiency will be achieved at 77 F but product will spray over a wide range of temperatures (60 – 90 F). Super filtration and viscosity control allow smaller tip sizes and better coverage without plugging. Apply with conventional airless spray equipment and fan spray or conical core tip spray tools.
