An electrostatic spray gun for liquid paint has a nozzle that comprises an inner body formed of a sintered material that consists of an electrically non-conductive matrix, e.g. polytetrafluoroethylene, with conductive particles, e.g. bronze powder, dispersed in the matrix, and an outer body of electrically insulating plastic material. The rear end of the inner body is connected to high voltage, and it has an annular front surface around a paint discharge orifice. This surface shows a lot of such bronze particles that form point electrodes for producing air ions. Two additional needle electrodes are clamped between the two bodies. The paint is dispersed by air jets and the air ions attach to the paint particles. |
