Yes, all hand-held SATA paint spray guns of current production can be used for the application of water-borne paints without restriction. For the permanent use in industrial applications, automatic and robotic paint spray guns are available. We recommend working with two separate sets of spray guns when using solvent-based as well as waterborne paints to prevent coatings flaws and expensive rework!
Definition: While soaking the spray gun in solvent, dirt particles and paint residues are removed, but also deposited in the air passages of the spray gun. Since the air passages consist of very fine drillings, these particles will gradually block the passages. Usually, the painter is not immediately aware of this slow process: The quality of the finish just gradually deteriorates before it is finally noticed (colour deviations, particle inclusions, reduced spray fan). Then the paint, the pressure or other causes are often blamed for the failure – but rarely the inappropriate treatment of the spray gun. We recommend either cleaning your spray gun in a gun washer (featuring a connector to apply a counter stream of air to protect the air passages) or thoroughly and carefully by hand – but never soak it in thinner or bleach.

Yes, at SATA each spray gun and each spare nozzle set is meticulously hand-adjusted by experienced colleagues to ensure the best possible spray pattern. To work with a vertical spray fan, the air cap has to be aligned with the laser-etching on the cap legible when looking from the front. For a horizontal spray fan, the individual control mark, which is stamped on one of the horns of the air cap identifying each person carrying out the final check, must be positioned on the top.
