Do-it-yourself polymer powder coating is now five times faster
WEST BABYLON, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Xiom Corporation (www.xiom-corp.com), developers and manufacturers
of the first completely portable polymer powder spray system, has now
brought to market a high production rate powder spray gun. With its
parent-pending triple venturi, the Xiom 5000 Scorpion sprays at up to
five times the rate of the current Xiom 1000. The Xiom 5000 connects
to the existing Xiom 1000 control console without modification and has
the same portability. The new gun provides both the application rate
and cosmetic look that field contractors demand.

   The new wide spray, high rate gun is economical to use,
substantially cutting labor costs by covering larger areas in less
time and by eliminating most of the need for pre-heating under normal
ambient conditions. Parts are not subject to wear and the
patent-pending wide spray pattern nozzle eliminates nozzle clogging
that results when the polymer material melts in the nozzle. The gun
uses only propane and air rather than the more costly oxygen. One
20-pound propane tank will last for eight hours of spraying. Due to
the gun's high BTU output, full melting and bonding of the polymer
coating is ensured as is the long life of the coating.

   Xiom 5000 Scorpion is also versatile. Like the Xiom 1000, it is
completely portable and can be used anywhere. Now, more uniform
coatings can be applied even thinner or thicker than before, and the
system is easy to adjust for different feedstock materials, weather
conditions or metal substrate thicknesses. The wide spray pattern is
enhanced by a unique compression wave generated by two impinging
burner cans. This ensures rapid heat transfer at an apex and at a
point of lower temperature to melt the polymer powder materials. The
system's ease of operation means that anyone can learn to use it in a
matter of hours.

   The Xiom system is now being marketed with both the Xiom 1000 and
the Xiom 5000 spray guns, a powder feeder and control console. The
control console controls the flow of propane, oxygen and compressed
air, as well as the delivery of the coating material. The gun, which
permits users to start and stop the spraying process, diffuses the
gases, forming a "perfect flame." The flame heats the Xiom coatings to
their melting point and sprays them onto a surface. The melted plastic
then forms a chemical bond with that surface and hardens instantly.

   Xiom has also designed a complete line of unique mixed polymer
coatings to be used with its spray system. Because these coatings are
actually a hard plastic, they are more durable and weather resistant
than conventional powder coating and there is no dripping, no
overspray problems and absolutely no VOCs (volatile organic
chemicals). Xiom's coatings line comes in many colors and has a large
number of uses. In addition to preventing rust and corrosion, the
coatings can be used to protect marine hulls, halt the growth of mold,
provide for easy removable of graffiti, create non-slip surfaces and
generally prolong the life of metal, glass, fiberglass, wood and
concrete.
