“What happens when you take the oxygen and hydrogen out of the air you use to spray paint? Then preheat it to 54 degrees C?

We’ve started using the new nitrogen-powered NitroHeat paint system at five of our shops, and the results bear out what the manufacturer promises. Supplying a constant flow of 98% pure, heated nitrogen to our paint guns – with almost all impurities and water particles removed – produces a smooth, steady stream with very little overspray, and reduces paint consumption by up to 30%. In our busy shops, that translates to a reduction of literally tens of thousands of litres of paint a year.

We’re equally delighted with the quality. The NitroHeat spray dramatically accelerates drying times and produces a glossier, better-quality finish.

It’s a win-win for the environment and for our customers.”

Jacksonville, Florida — April 24, 2012 — Nitroheat, the sole U.S. manufacturer of heated nitrogen systems for spray painting, announced it has reached a global distribution agreement with Wedge Clamp Systems, as well as a decision to relocate operations to the Los Angeles area in California.

“The use of WCSI for distribution will allow Nitroheat to focus solely on Research, Development and Manufacturing of its air filtration and separation technologies beyond the automotive industry,” said Derek Naidoo, Nitroheat’s CEO. “Relocating to California also brings us closer to University research partners as well as beneficiaries of the Nitroheat technology including the Marine, Aerospace and Manufacturing industries.”

Nitroheat designs and manufactures environmentally friendly heated nitrogen systems that the company says are revolutionizing the spray painting process with improved material savings, drying times, efficiency and productivity. Visit their web site at nitroheat.com or call 877-893-5460.
