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.
Overspray is paint that misses the target surface during spraying. It represents material waste, affects booth maintenance, and must be captured by ventilation systems for environmental compliance.
Why it matters in paint cells
- •Directly impacts material cost and efficiency
- •Requires capture and filtration systems
- •Can contaminate nearby surfaces or parts
What to watch for
- •Transfer efficiency optimization
- •Booth airflow and filtration capacity
- •Part positioning and masking requirements
