Types of OversprayEven a slight breeze can carry airborne contaminants – commonly called OVERSPRAY - far beyond the work site. These airborne particles, the by-products of painting projects or the result of industrial fallout, can damage most any surface and may drift for several miles.Acid Rain Overspray Industrial pollutants and emissions drift into the air and may combine with rain, snow or morning dew to form acids. These diluted acids settle on the vehicle’s surface and as water evaporation occurs, the acid becomes of a higher concentration and may damage the surfaces leaving slight depressions or craters.Cement Overspray Cement, salt, lime, calcium and other minerals may result in overspray damage to the paint finish and other surfaces if left untreated.Enviornmental Overspray Industrial pollutants and emissions drift into the air and may combine with rain, snow or morning dew to form acids.

Industrial Fallout / Chemical Emissions Overspray Plant operations create various types of emissions such as Petro Chemical by-products and Post Stack Combustion. Other manufacturing operations can produce various types of emissions such as Fly ash, Coke and other chemical releases.
Metal Oxides Overspray Metal fabrication, railroad transportation, sandblasting and mining operations produce metal oxide by-products. These by-products, commonly referred to as "rail dust", can rust after settling on the finish.
Oil Deposits Overspray Surfacing materials used on roofs such as Polyurethane Foam or Asphalt, Tar and Oil used on roadways are examples of these types of overspray
Organic Airborne Materials OversprayAcidic properties in bird droppings, insects, trees and pollen may cause organic damage to painted surfaces. If not treated, in time these and other organic materials may result in paint degradation.Paint & Coatings Overspray These materials are commonly used for corrosion protection and are usually applied by spray, brush or roller. Common types of coatings and linings are Epoxies, Urethanes, Alkyds and Acrylics.
Roofing OverspraySurfacing materials used on roofs such as Polyurethane Foam or Asphalt, Tar and Oil used on roadways are examples of these types of overspray.Tar Overspray Surfacing materials used on roofs such as Polyurethane Foam or Asphalt, Tar and Oil used on roadways are examples of these types of overspray. |
