Advantages of ultrasonically applied coatings:

  • reduction of material consumption and spray loss by up to 80%
  • high spray pattern control for reliable, consistent results
  • ability to deliver very low flow rates
  • controllable droplet size
  • Z-axis movement allows optimisation of spray pattern width
