AEROFIXX application method
1. Prepare AEROFIXX
The spray gun is not yet connected to the compressed air. Screw off the spray head and have required spray nozzles at hand.
2. Insert the foil cartridge
Insert an AEROSANA VISCONN or AEROSANA VISCONN FIBRE 600 ml (20 US fl oz) foil cartridge into the spray gun. Spray a little lubrication oil, protection oil or silicone spray into the cylinder before it is used for the first time and subsequently from time to time
3. Open the foil cartridge
Pull the foil cartridge out of AEROFIXX slightly and make a cut with a utility knife or scissors. Then allow it to slide back in again.
4. Screw on the spray head
When putting the spray head on, ensure that the inner spray nozzle lies flat on the foil cartridge.
5. Put on the air nozzle
Hand-tighten the air nozzle onto the spray head.
6. Connect AEROFIXX
Connect the spray gun to the compressed air.
Air requirement approx. 250 l/min.
Set the pressure to 6 bar (87 psi) on the pressure reducer.
7. Set the air throughput
Set the air throughput on the spray device. The recommended output setting is: set to “fully open” and then turn back by half a revolution.
8. Set the sealant throughput
Turn the ring underneath the spray nozzle:
The sealant throughput increases as you turn towards "Line application" and decreases as you turn towards "Spray application"; default setting: medium
9. Spraying distance
The distance to the subsurface should be approx. 10 cm (4"). Spraying should be carried out perpendicular to the subsurface.
10. Film thickness
The minimum thickness is 600 μm (1/32"). Please check this using a measuring gauge. The minimum thickness has been achieved when a seamless, slightly wavy, but non-running surface (‘orange peel’) is formed.
11. Spray surfaces
The best coverage is achieved when one layer is first sprayed on horizontally and a second layer is then sprayed on vertically. The individual spray strips should overlap.
12. Fill joints (line application)
Turn the ring under the spray nozzle to the “Line application” position and fill the joint with a line of sealant.
13. Spray over joints
Then turn the ring back to the “Spray application” position and spray over the joint generously with sealant.
14. Remove the foil cartridge
Screw off the spray head and remove the inner spray nozzle. Press the empty foil cartridge out of the material tube using compressed air.
15. Refilling
Clean the device if necessary. Slide the plunger into the spray gun again and insert a new foil cartridge.
16. Cleaning AEROFIXX
Screw off the spray head and remove the foil cartridge. Wipe off the device with a damp cloth. Rinse off the spray nozzles and spray head with water. Collect the water used for washing and dispose of it properly.
