Scope

Reference definitions for paint-cell terminology used in feasibility reviews, equipment selection, process setup, and production planning.

Best used for

Best used to create shared vocabulary across engineering, purchasing, operations, integrators, and external suppliers.

Use with caution

Definitions do not replace equipment datasheets, coating TDS/SDS documents, or site-specific compliance review.

Evidence basis

Compiled from TD engineering terminology, project scoping language, and equipment-integration workflows.

Atomization is the process of breaking liquid paint into droplets for spraying. Stable atomization supports consistent appearance and coverage. In paint cells, atomization is sensitive to paint properties, equipment setup, and environmental conditions.

Why it matters in paint cells

  • Affects finish consistency and defect rates
  • Can change with refill/mixing routines
  • May require trials for specific paints and geometry

What to watch for

  • Assuming one setup fits all paints and parts
  • Environmental drift (temperature/humidity) affecting stability
