![]() The tractor dealer's mechanic recommended using a pressure feed spray gun when applying Fluid Film in its bulk form and it seemed to work fine for me.īelow is a website that explains the different types of spray guns. Then you have a general purpose spray gun that can change between a pressure feed spray gun to a siphon spray gun. Lower VOC content reduces the ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere. Once applied, Fluid Film’s NAS flash point is a high 204C compared to typical 52C solvent-based products. However, some siphon spray guns today can spray heavier materials. FLUID FILM is classified as a non-toxic and non-hazardous liquid and contains less than one percent (<1) VOC content. Fluid Film is non-toxic and non-hazardous important considerations in workplace environment and safety. Traditionally, a pressure feed spray gun can spray low to high viscosity materials such as Fluid Film, while a siphon feed gun can only spray low to medium viscosity materials, which is why you can have issues spraying Fluid Film with a siphon spray gun. Hopefully this helps others like it helped me. When I was at Tractor Supply, they only carried the pressure spray gun and not the general purpose spray gun.Ĭampbell Hausfeld Pressure-Feed Spray Gun - 3301552 | Tractor Supply Companyīelow is what I found doing research, speaking to my tractor dealer and tractor dealer's mechanic about spraying bulk Fluid Film. In addition, below is another link to Campbell & Hausfeld website showing that this spray gun is a pressure feed design. Fluid Film is a solvent free, lanolin based rust and corrosion inhibitor along with a penetrating lubricant. ![]() The problem is the spray gun types look similar, so you could think this is a siphon spray gun while it is really a pressure feed spray gun or even a general purpose spray gun. I also purchased a Vaper 19419 Spot Spray Non-Aerosol Sprayer (the red sprayer below) that also seems to work if you need to spray things around the house or equipment in remote places. So if anyone is looking to spray down their equipment with a bulk supply of Fluid Film, I think the air sprayer is the way to go. I found using the pressure-feed spray gun was prefect as it sprayed just the right amount of material on the surface of the tractor and could get to those hard to reach areas. The Kells undercoating gun is nice but it sprays too much material. Through trial and error, I found the best method for me to apply the material was using the $20.00 Campbell Hausfeld pressure-feed spray gun that you can pick up at your local Tractor Supply Store. I tried various methods applying the Fluid Film: roller, paint brush, the undercoating gun from Kells and air sprayer. I just finished applying the product on my Woods mower, Scag Tiger Cat mower, new Boomer 3040 and Meteor snowblower. It is a non-toxic, long lasting, thixotropic liquid that has been used for over fifty years in the highly corrosive marine environment of ships and offshore drilling rigs. I bought the Fluid Film 5 Gallon Undercoating Kit from Kells Port Products (unfortunately, I did not know there was a 15% for TBN members). FLUID FILM® is a penetrant and lubricant also used for corrosion prevention. FLUID FILM® products offer powerful corrosion protection for all metals and superior lubrication for all moving parts.
