> The object being coated is maintained at

ground potential, the spray applicator oper-

ator is also grounded, therefore, the operator

has as much attraction for the electrostatic

paint as the object. To prevent "wrapback"

always keep the applicator closer to the target

than it is to you.

APPLICATOR TO TARGET

DISTANCE

The distance between the applicator and the target

influences the appearance of the final finish coating

of the object. If the applicator is held too close

(under 4-inches), runs and sags with the excessive

bounce-back can occur. If the applicator is held

too far from the object, the electrostatic attraction is

decreased. Normally, the

best spacing between

applicator and target is in the

4 to 12-inch area.

However, this distance can vary with extremely

high delivery systems. Maximum target distance

should not exceed 12-inches.
