Benefits of Ionix Static Eliminators for auto refinishers
Static is created by the friction of any sanding or wiping action on a surface. Sanding and wiping builds up a static charge on the dust and surface. They are attracted to each other.
Simply using compressed air to blow off surfaces doesn't eliminate any static. Since air is an electrical insulator, the friction of the compressed air blown over a surface creates static. Also, using compressed air to blow off dust simply suspends the dust in the air and as gravity pulls it down it will be attracted to any static on the surface. This causes blemishes in the finish. You MUST use a static eliminator in your blow off line to eliminate this static.
Ionix can also be installed in blow off air lines and in air lines in automated equipment as long as you respect the pressure limitations of the unit.
Ionix is safe to use in hazardous environments.
Simple to unstall
You do not have to use a special hose or air gun to use Ionix. Ionix can be installed anywhere in the blow off air line. Ionix auto finishing units fit any standard 3/8" ID hose.
If you have only one air line shared for both blowoff and painting,
when you're ready to blow off the surface, attach the Ionix Static
Eliminator to the end of the air hose. Blow off and then remove the
Ionix Static Eliminator from the air hose and re-attach the paint gun to
the air hose when your ready to paint.
If you have a dedicated air line for blowoff, you can install the Ionix
Static Eliminator at the line drop after the regulator. Ionix does not
need to be at the end of the air line to be effective. The length of the
air hose Ionix is installed on does not diminish its ability to
dissipate static on the surface.

How to size Ionix Static Eliminators for auto refinishing
There are 2 sizes of Ionix Static Eliminators depending upon the pressure you blow off.
If you blow off UNDER 50 PSI, our AF200-2 is installed on a 3/8" air line.
If you blow off OVER 50 PSI, you would need to use our HPPL300 for 3/8" hose.
These 2 units are avialable as cartridges only to install in existing airlines or as a kit with an Ionix cartridge, 25' of 3/8" threaded hose, air gun and 2 hose clamps. These kits are only available for 3/8" hose.
