- masklinn 8y agoI wouldn't think so, that's how you go from spray to foam (e.g. some household detergents around here have a small mesh screen you can clip over the spray nozzle to get a detergent foam instead of the liquid droplets of a regular spray bottle).
- steve_adams_86 8y agoI think it's actually that the particles are forced to collide at relatively high speed due to the pressure behind the small opening. A mesh could eventually get clogged with minerals or debris, but this approach leaves less room for failure. Basically you're just ripping the fluid into mist with high pressure.
- deltron3030 8y agoIt's just a hole. If you take a hot needle you can widen the hole of spray caps and increase the throughput (and size of the throw if you also increase the distance to the object). Another trick for spraypaint bottles is to stomp them vertically if you run out of spraypaint, it won't hurt the system that takes your cap, and gives you little bit more paint.
