Disposable Mixing Cup System

Disposal mixing cups eliminate the need for separate mixing cups, paint strainers and filters, offering a single product for mixing, painting, refilling and storing refinish materials. With no need to clean a mixing cup or other parts, solvent use and gun cleaning time are significantly reduced. Additionally, extra, non-catalyzed refinish materials can remain in the disposable cups and stored for future use.

Other benefits of disposable mixing cup systems include:

• Quick color or material changes (only the spray gun needs to be cleaned)
• Less technician exposure to solvents
• Reduction in VOCs
• Reduced materials costs (no separate mixing cups, strainers and filters)
• Quick and easy disposal of used paint cups
• Reduction of hazardous waste materials

Disposable mixing cup systems:

• SATA® RPS™ (Rapid Preparation System™)
• 3M PPS™ Paint Preparation System
