Nansulate® coatings can be applied with standard paint spray and texture spray equipment. Equipment size and performance varies widely, so it is our intention to provide the following recommendations for various sizes of equipment which may be used for the coatings, in addition to other important items to ensure proper application.

1. Airless or H.V.L.P. sprayer to apply Nansulate® Translucent Coatings (all coatings except for Nansulate® EPX)
!
!
a) Recommended: Graco TrueCoat plus 2, UltraMax 2 1595, Titan
!
440i (or similar) b) Wagner Project Pro 115 or 119 c) Wagner/Spraytech   hand held sprayers are suitable for small areas.
(example: Titan 440i)

(example: Wagner
Project Pro 115)
Tips & Extensions for Airless Sprayers:
You will need various tip fan sizes; such as 2, 4, 8 inch, and 0.011-0.013 tip.
Tip extensions are rod-like attachments which are attached in between the sprayer gun and the spray tip so that one can reach long distances where human arm reach is not possible. Tip extensions come in 12, 24, 36, 48 inch sizes.
Having one or more of each size is recommended.
We recommend having a supply of additional tips and accessories on hand, so that work is not stopped due to clogged parts.

2. Texture sprayer to apply Nansulate® EPX a) Recommended: Graco TexSpray RTX 650, 900, 1250 or
1500
(example: Graco TexSpray RTX 1500i)
Others that are suitable include: b) Graco Hopper Gun c) Wagner Powertex d) Laco MA1000

Both hand held or   larger are suitable. Hand held sprayers allow for easier movement around smaller areas, for larger, easier to reach surfaces, Graco RTX 650 and higher is recommended.
Tips for Texture Sprayers:
Most texture sprayers will come with 3 various tip sizes. Any of these can be used. The bigger the tip size, the rougher the finished surface of the EPX, the smaller the tip size, the smoother the finished surface of the EPX.
Air compressors should be used with sprayers as needed.
