ZERO STATIC

From the people that brought you the world's first carbon fiber spray guns, Walcom Zero-Static Gun is the ideal tool to neutralize static electricity on all sorts of substrates before painting.

Static electricity causes paint contamination and can change metallic orientation. Our battery operated zero static gun lasts up tosix hours fully charged. It's really easy neutralizing the static charge and preparing body panels and plastic surfaces!

The body is over injected with a non-conductive rubber that protects the tool from minor impacts. Wiping,de-nibbing and tacking cause static charge that attracts all sorts of contamination. Static electricity is always around in dry weather. Static electricity can cause problems when painting motor vehicles. Static electricity can be increased by the preparation of the panel to be painted. It's atex certified ECM 23 ATEX-B QO25 Application : to produce Ion charged clean air Air consumption: less than 200 l/min - 7 cfm Continuous use time : 6 hours Power Supply: Nickel hydrogen batt Full charge time 4h Recommended working air pressure 2 bar (29 psi)

You can see in the diagrams below how this works. The static charged particles shown in the right diagram are uneven. This surface will attract dust, uneven metallic lay down and give you a poor finish. When the static is neutralised, the particles are evenly laid down resulting in a dust free finish. The new MG-3000 anti static gun will help you achieve the perfect finish. A must in any paint shop.

Have you ever experienced a situation during painting plastic bumpers alongside a metal panel where the plastic appears a different color tone to the metal panel?

Due to the much higher static charge in the plastic it is a fact that paint particles stand up offering a different visual effect to the metal panel where the paint is lying flatter. Dust and Dirt Contamination The most common visual effect that static has is the attraction of dust and dirt particles that stand out once the clear/lacquer has been applied. The simple reason for this is that static will attract any particle within its vicinity, therefore, the higher the charge, the more contamination which is why plastic components are more highly affected than conductive parts.

Tack Rag Marks/Blending etc Static comes in both positive and negative charge, when this charge has both negative and positive poles color matching issues arise, especially when painting light colored metallic paints like silver, the static will pull and push the paint particles around leaving an uneven coverage, resulting in patchiness, tack lines and other uneven problems.
