What happens here

For painters who prefer to work with slightly lower pressures and reduce overspray, newer low-pressure nozzles are recommended. These specialized tips, such as the Graco FFLP (Fine Finish Low Pressure) and LP (Low Pressure) models, allow you to work efficiently between 90 and 120 bar, as opposed to the 190 bar required for classic nozzles. The FFLP tips are ideal for achieving a fine finish on surfaces like wood or doors, while LP tips are suitable for general-purpose applications. The reduced pressure not only minimizes paint waste from overspray but also lessens the amount of paint mist in the air, contributing to a cleaner working environment and improved efficiency.

Goal: Utilize modern low-pressure nozzles, such as FFLP (Fine Finish Low Pressure) or LP (Low Pressure) tips, to work at reduced pressures and significantly decrease overspray and paint mist.

bar here, and we'll go up to 190 bar to get something decent. Otherwise, to work with slightly lower pressures, I don't use these nozzles anymore. I switch to new low-pressure nozzles, and with these, you can work between 90 and 120 bar, so that reduces the... The overspray, so the ENF mist, there you go. So now we're going to increase the pressure to 180 bar.
