Watervliet, New York -- November 19, 2012 -- Norton has launched the new TORQ Paint System with SpillGard. Norton TORQ Paint System is manufactured with the company’s proprietary SpillGard technology, comprised of a quick-connect lid, innovative self-sealing valve and triple seal. Because all components are disposable, paint technicians bring a completely clean system into the booth every time, eliminating the possibility of contamination.
The quick-connect lid is simply and securely locked onto a spray gun with a click technicians can hear and feel. With the innovative self-sealing valve, Norton TORQ Paint System with SpillGard eliminates the need to use plugs for transporting, storing or shaking. Three separate seals within the unitized lid and liner assure paint remains inside the cup, ensuring no leaks.
“Paint is a large portion of business for body shops so it is critical to make the process as efficient as possible,” says Biagio P. Pellegrino, Senior Product/Market Manager – Norton Automotive Aftermarket. “The new disposable TORQ Paint System with SpillGard gives shops an edge on efficiency – technicians can prepare the paint in advance and ‘grab and go’ as needed, with minimal clean up.”
The Norton TORQ Paint System with SpillGard is packaged in 24-count ready-to-use dispenser boxes. With an extra large filter size and expanded space between the filter and the tower the Norton TORQ Paint System with SpillGard allows for increased volume for optimum flow. The self-sealing lid is offered in various filter sizes for both solvent and waterborne paints.

Amherst, Ohio -- November 13, 2012 -- Nordson Corporation says its Trilogy Electrostatic Spray Gun System delivers the highest kV in the industry at 93 kV, thereby increasing transfer efficiency, reducing material costs and improving part finish.
With the strongest electrostatic load lines, voltage remains consistently high even as gun-to-part distances change, ensuring high efficiency coverage. According to the company, when Trilogy guns are equipped with Nordson air caps, they produce fine particle atomization at lower pressures for improved paint-to-part transfer with minimal overspray. With a Trilogy system, extreme fan pattern control from four to 20 inches is also achieved through fast, easy air adjustments that can accommodate varying part configurations. Nordson says the increased transfer efficiency and fan pattern control saves money on coatings and rejects.
Trilogy spray systems are designed with coating versatility in mind. Featuring two atomization technologies – air spray and high volume, low pressure (HVLP) – Trilogy systems deliver superior application performance with a variety of substrates, coatings and part profiles. In addition, switching from air spray to HVLP and back is simple, requiring only the change of a nozzle. Trilogy systems are also available in manual or automatic gun models that incorporate the latest in engineering and design materials.
“Nordson pioneered liquid coating technology and we continue to provide innovative solutions to the industry,” explains Brad Syrowski, business development manager for Nordson’s liquid systems group, for Nordson’s liquid coatings group. “We’re excited to offer a product like the Trilogy gun, which takes painting performance to a new level. Not only does it provide superior application properties, but it’s easy to use and can meet most any application requirement.”
Nordson Corporation says other benefits of the Trilogy system include:
- Automatic current limiting allows for greater control of charging, which translates to better part coverage whatever the part profile
- Ergonomic, handle-forward design provides better balance and improved operator comfort
- Quick-flush fluid passages for ease of cleaning and maintenance
Rugged gun bodies minimize maintenance costs and downtime
- More than 50 fluid tip and air cap combinations for even greater flexibility
