Ecoseal Plus Sprayer Specs

NormanWB | Posted in Energy Efficiency and Durability on

What sprayers has anyone used to apply Knauf Ecoseal Plus? Knauf specs out a Graco Ultra Max 795, but I am not finding that in any of the local rental shops. I now it should do 3000 psi max, but what other options/needs are there?

Thanks,

Nomran

    Norman, I have not sprayed that product but have a different Graco gun I use to spray paint. I believe the only other concern would be the tip size and spray width. Knauf recommends installer training, which you probably know.

    The training is online and pretty simple, so I should be good there.

    Armando Corbo on this site has used the product a lot. I hope he responds to this thread.

    Given the lack of responses, I thought I would weigh in here even though I have no direct experience spraying Ecoseal. But I did photograph the process for a Fine Homebuilding article I worked on in Houston several years ago. The Ecoseal product is very viscous so I don't think a run of the mill airless sprayer is going to cut it. The gas-powered rig (Titan 6900) on this job was the biggest airless sprayer I've ever seen. If I recall correctly, I was told a similar sized electric sprayer was equivalent to the Graco 1095.
