SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2006--DUX, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of three innovative spray guns offering the first technological advances to industrial coatings equipment in over 80 years. "For decades industrial spray painters have had to endure old spray technology; heavy, difficult to use equipment; and hazardous work environments due to excessive overspray and paint booth fog," said Kevin Kelley, DUX, Inc. President and CEO. "The High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) systems on the market today are still employing outdated technology that is not as efficient as the DUX guns. The industry suffers from massive amounts of wasted material and wasted money due to the poor air flow technology, while sending unnecessary pollution into the air. "Today that all changes," Kelley continued. "DUX was founded on the premise that the spray finishing industry deserves better, and we're committed to giving our customers a superior product that saves them money while improving their finish quality and working environments for their painters." DUX products are built on advanced airflow technology originally developed to optimize the performance of Formula Three racing engines. This has produced the first improvements to spray gun technology in decades. "The DUX Gun is the first truly new gun the industry has ever seen," said Larry Boville, Jr., owner of Boville Industrial Coatings, Inc. in Smithville, OH, one of the first to adopt the DUX technology. "Every other gun on the market is simply a modified version of a previous design. While other manufacturers seem to be trying to cut corners to cut their own costs, DUX is putting out a truly high-end product that so far has saved us between 15-30% on our coating usage."
