Attendees can expect hands-on experience with spray guns and spray pumps from different manufactures like Sames Kremlin, Binks, and Graco. Attendees will also have the opportunity to try the company’s personal protective equipment, including RPB and Bullard Respirators.
 
Grapek Bates will be displaying RPB’s Z-Link, a versatile, multi-purpose respirator. The Z-Link serves a wide spectrum of industries and applications from welding and grinding, to chemical handling.
