Graco has long been an industry favorite manufacturer of fluid-handling equipment that has an impressive spectrum of uses. Graco equipment, like spray foam machines and industrial sprayers, plays a large role in coating and protecting surfaces of all types. At Intech Equipment and Supply, we are proud to be among the top 20 distributors of Graco Spray equipment in the nation. Check out these top 10 commercial uses for Graco spray equipment that can expand your business.

Top 10 Commercial Uses

1. Spray Foam Insulation

Graco is best known for its stunning line of spray foam machines that apply fast-drying polyurethane or polyurea coatings. Therefore, applying spray foam insulation is one of the top uses for Graco equipment.

Ranging from low-touch-up jobs to high-industrial outputs, Graco offers plenty of equipment options so that contractors of all scales can find a Graco spray machine that suits their needs. Spray foam is used to insulate attics, walls, reinforce plumbing, coat commercial roofs, and more. Since it has so many uses in diverse structures, this material is in high demand.

Graco Spray Units

Graco does not stop at just spray foam. Coatings like elastomeric, polyester and more are crucial to the structural integrity of buildings. Graco sprayers like the GH 733ES, GH 833, GH 300, and GH 933 can process even the most difficult-to-atomize products. Here are other popular uses of Graco spray units beyond spray foam insulation.

2. Paint

Painting the traditional way takes a long time — plus, it can have uneven results. Graco sprayers make it easy to cover a wide area evenly with interior or exterior paint. Best of all, the job can be completed in less time and with professional-quality results. Graco sprayers can also apply primers and protective enamel coatings that are often necessary for commercial paint jobs. The only thing you have to do is wait for the paint to dry.

3. Roofing

While Graco spray foam equipment is used extensively in commercial roofing, Graco spray pumps can also apply other protective coatings that roofs need. For instance, the Graco GH-300 and GH-833 apply a wide range of materials, including acrylics and elastomeric coatings for commercial roofs. Graco sprayers can also apply fibered and non-fibered aluminum and asphalt emulsions that are used in roofing applications.

4. Waterproofing Materials

Buildings of all types need waterproofing reinforcement, whether it is new construction or an existing structure. For instance, a freeway tunnel or bridge should be sealed to be protected from water damage. Since many structures are made of porous materials like concrete, an industrial sprayer that can cover a large area with professional waterproofing coatings will make it stronger.

5. Roads

Graco spray machines can apply fibered and non-fibered asphalt emulsions that are used to pave and patch roads. Whether you choose fibered coatings that are less viscous or the non-fibered type, there is a Graco sprayer that can complete the job to your satisfaction.

6. Epoxies

This versatile coating is seen in everything from furniture, to crafts, to basement flooring. In construction, epoxy coatings can protect flooring and roofs, offering a durable, attractive, and waterproof surface. Epoxy coatings are also useful for areas that need some protection against water, like concrete basement floors. 

7. Contact Cement

A Graco industrial sprayer can apply contact cement, a “jack of all trades” in commercial construction. This flexible acrylic contact adhesive can bond materials like wood, tile, rubber, metal, Formica, plastics, and more. When you need to apply contact cement on a larger scale, a spray pump makes the job faster and easier.

8. Block Filler

Graco spray pumps can also apply block filler, a useful material that can be applied under epoxy, polyester resins, and latex topcoats. It is also useful in preparing masonry. If this material is in high demand in your industry, a Graco pump can create high-quality applications that save you time.

9. Enamel Spray

When your coat of paint is dry, Graco spray equipment can apply clear enamel spray coatings to make a fantastic finishing touch. This transparent finish gives your paint the protection and sheen to make it complete. The beautiful gloss finish looks great on wood, concrete, and metal too.

10. Sealing

Graco spray machines can apply a variety of seal coatings, such as mastics, which can be used in air ducts. When you need to cover a large area and want the job done evenly and quickly, a spray pump can maximize your productivity.
