3M India has on Monday announced the launch of its Performance Spray Gun that can deliver improved performance and productivity.
The Performance Spray Gun is up to 50% lighter than other spray guns in the segment, making it the world’s lightest spray gun. The advanced impact-resistant, stainless steel-reinforced composite body has been optimised by kinesiologists for improved comfort and convenience.
In 2000, the company first invented the 3M PPS paint preparation system – the world’s first disposable paint cup system, and a revolution in painting productivity and quality. After years of observing hundreds of painters at work, the company has invented the Performance Spray Gun.
According to the company, the Indian automotive paint industry witnessed an upsurge in quality-driven paint technologies with stringent VOC emission regulations for paint production and preferences for better paint textures. This has led the company to undertake in-depth research on what the customer needs for excellent performance delivery.
The new spray gun includes advanced interchangeable nozzle technology, the game-changer in this segment. With six different sizes from 1.2 to 2.0, each atomising head is optimised for consistent atomisation and superior transfer efficiency across a full range of high-performance automotive coatings. The spray gun enables the user to spray solid colours, metallics, pearls, clear coats, sealers, and primers with the same consistent premium application.
Ashutosh Shirodkar, Executive Director & Country Business Group Leader - Safety & Industrial Business Group at 3M India, said, “We are seeing global vehicle platforms arrive at local developing markets, almost immediately after global launches. Consequently, these new-age platforms demand the next level of paint refinishing & dent repair. Homegrown passenger vehicle manufacturers too are significantly raising the bar on vehicle quality & features, pampering customers for choice.”
