Applications and use cases
The 3M PPS Series 2.0 paint preparation system is intended for professional industrial use in automotive repair environments. It is suitable for the application of a wide range of coatings, including waterborne and solvent-based products. Thanks to its closed-cup design and compatible adapters, it can be integrated into almost any spray gun setup used in bodyshops for mixing, filtering and spraying coatings within the same system.
Basic use instructions
- Insert a disposable cup into the rigid 3M PPS Series 2.0 cup.
- Mix the paint thoroughly inside the disposable cup and rigid cup assembly.
- Place the lid on top of the rigid cup, align the black quarter-turn locking system with the access window and push the lid down. Turn the lid to close and lock.
- Select the correct adapter for your spray gun, push down and twist until it fits securely onto the lid.
- After spraying, disconnect the air line, invert the spray gun and pull the trigger to return any excess paint to the cup.
- Lightly tap the disposable cup and lid assembly on a surface to break liquid surface tension and help the coating flow back into the cup.
- To remove the lid and disposable cup from the rigid cup, turn the lid enough to unlock it. Insert fingers through the hole at the bottom of the rigid cup and push the disposable cup upward while removing lid and cup together.
- Use the 3M PPS Series 2.0 storage cap to seal and protect coatings when not in use, in accordance with local regulations or authorities.
Storage recommendations
- Use red 3M PPS dispensers, which are compatible with all 3M PPS Series 2.0 cups and lids.
- For paints and coatings storage, consult the safety data sheet (SDS) of the paint or solvent for information on shelf life and storage conditions.
- If paint or coatings are stored with the 3M PPS Series 2.0 lid, use the wide base of the 3M PPS Series 2.0 closure caps to keep the cups upside down when not in use so that the filter mesh remains wet.
