Frequently Asked Questions

What are equipment consumables?

Consumables are items used up during spraying tasks – like marker dyes, tank cleaners, and foam suppressants – that support safe and accurate application.

Many marker dyes are compatible with a wide range of products, but always perform a small compatibility test or follow the instructions provided.

Are these consumables suitable for professional use?
