Nitrogen and deionized water spray guns perform the same basic function but important differences between the two exist. We outline what those are.
Nitrogen Spray Guns
Manufacturing and assembling products in a cleanroom environment require specialized equipment to reach specific ISO cleanroom standards. One tool used is the nitrogen spray gun.
Nitrogen gas is cleaner and drier than conventional air, making it an effective tool for removing microscopic dust and fibers from surfaces that can’t be cleaned by wiping—including environments such as semiconductor fabrication plants and sterile manufacturing facilities.
Our nitrogen spray guns are constructed of PTFE, making them capable of working effectively in the presence of moisture, corrosive substances and other traditional agents of deterioration or decay. This makes them ideal for everything from chemical processing to biomedical applications, water purification, sewage treatment, life sciences and similar industries.
The most common products produced with nitrogen spray guns include semiconductors, medical devices, optical lenses, military, aerospace, food packaging and small electronics.
Although most customers typically find that our stock nitrogen spray gun meets their needs, we are fully capable of tailoring your gun to suit your requirements. Our selection of PTFE spray guns is designed to be versatile and outperform the industry standard.
Deionized Water Spray Guns
Deionized water often is used in semiconductor manufacturing, refined chemical manufacturing, biological development and pharmaceutical production. iPolymer offers an array of DI water spray guns ideal for these applications.
Our DI spray guns are manufactured with polypropylene and virgin PTFE, which gives them a long service life in corrosive and harsh acidic conditions. As a result of their design and comfortable grip, these spray guns set the industry standard in work processing stations, wet benches and semiconductor fabrication plants.
Our deionized water spray guns feature a machined PTFE body with precision-machined sealing areas. Coupled with a PTFE interior surface and a one-piece machined polypropylene poppet, our DI Spray Gun provides for considerable leak-proof integrity and exceptional corrosion resistance.
PTFE is a nonconductive material that provides exceptional resistance to strong electrical fields. Our spray guns also operate well when exposed to hydrofluoric acid, a substance that can dissolve other materials, such as metal and glass, and are resistant to fume attack.
Recirculating DI water spray guns constantly have a small amount of water flowing through the hose and spray gun, which eliminates stagnant water and prevents the growth of bacteria.
The DI water spray gun features a wiper seat, which creates a reliable diaphragm to body seal and provides positive through flow shutoff. Its unique design eliminates the need for elastomer seals, while providing excellent flexibility and long life.
