Essential Maintenance for Smooth Airbrush Performance
Iwata Lube is an indispensable component of proper airbrush maintenance, designed to keep all moving parts of your Iwata or any other brand of airbrush operating smoothly and efficiently. This specialized lubricant is crucial for ensuring consistent performance and extending the life of your equipment.
Apply Iwata Lube to all moving components of your airbrush, with particular attention to:
- Main lever: For fluid and responsive trigger action.
- Needle packing: To reduce friction and wear on the needle.
- Valve-piston packing: For smooth air valve operation.
- Along the needle and inside the needle cap: To enhance paint flow, prevent tip dry, and ensure a clean, consistent spray.
Iwata Lube is formulated with safety and performance in mind, being both non-toxic and silicone-free. Furthermore, the newly reformulated (clear colored) lube offers enhanced properties:
- Does not have evaporative qualities: Ensures long-lasting lubrication without drying out.
- Maintains viscosity in all environments: Provides consistent performance regardless of temperature or humidity.
Important: Always avoid using silicone-based lubricants in your airbrush trigger and air valve.
Silicone-based lubricants should be avoided in airbrushes because they can cause paint adhesion problems and affect the finish, potentially leading to “fish-eye” effects or uneven coverage. Silicone can interfere with how paint adheres to the surface, causing it to repel and create undesirable textures.
