Are Canisters More Effective?

November 23, 2016 By Steve Bayliff

canister-smallDid you know, canisters are the most economical way to apply adhesives?

Their transfer efficiency (how much adhesive actually goes on the surface) is close to 95%.  That’s right.  Almost all the adhesive you have purchased goes on the substrates you’re trying to bond.

Let’s compare that 95% to “other” methods of application.

Rolling or brushing

Rolling or brushing on adhesive is a sure way to get the surface 100% covered.  BUT, typically you’re putting down WAY too much.

Spraying

Spraying has been, for years, the most economical method of application.  BUT, a lot is lost into the atmosphere as air is used to atomize the adhesive.  Spraying solvent based adhesives offers about 75% transfer efficiency.  Spraying a water based product offers only about 25% transfer efficiency.

Canisters

Canisters are the most economical method  AND they are portable.  No outside air source is needed.
