BINKS

BINKS paper paint collector pads, such as the 29-2186 model, are made from paper media and are typically used for lighter-duty applications where cost is a primary concern. They offer adequate particle capture for standard overspray but may require more frequent replacement. Polyester pads, like the 29-486 and 29-3111, are constructed from synthetic fibers that provide higher durability, better resistance to moisture and chemicals, and longer service life. Polyester pads can often be cleaned and reused to some extent, though they are generally considered disposable. The choice depends on the specific booth conditions, paint type, and desired maintenance interval.

BINKS paint collector pads are available in several standard sizes. Common dimensions include 20 in x 20 in pads, which fit many standard paint booth filter frames, and roll formats like 36 in x 30 ft for custom cutting. Thickness options are typically 1 in or 2 in. For example, the 29-486 pad is 20 in x 20 in x 1 in, while the 29-3111 is 20 in x 20 in x 2 in. The 29-2186 is a roll measuring 36 in x 30 ft x 2 in. Thicker pads generally offer higher particle loading capacity but may increase airflow resistance.

To select the correct BINKS pad, first measure the dimensions of your filter frame to ensure a proper fit. Common sizes are 20 in x 20 in or 36 in wide rolls. Next, consider the media material: paper is suitable for low-volume or water-based paints, while polyester is better for high-volume or solvent-based applications due to its durability. Thickness affects airflow and particle capacity; 1 in pads are for lower resistance, 2 in for higher loading. Check the manufacturer’s specifications for your booth’s airflow requirements and consult the datasheet for the specific BINKS SKU to confirm compatibility.

BINKS paint collector pads are designed to fit standard paint booth filter frames, which are often sized to industry norms such as 20 in x 20 in or 36 in widths. As long as the physical dimensions match your booth’s filter housing, the pads should be compatible regardless of the booth brand. However, always verify the pad thickness and media type against your booth’s airflow specifications to avoid excessive pressure drop or reduced filtration efficiency. For non-standard frames, roll formats like the 36 in x 30 ft pad allow custom cutting.

The service life of a BINKS polyester paint collector pad depends on factors such as paint volume, overspray density, and booth airflow. Polyester pads generally last longer than paper pads because they resist clogging and can hold more particulate. In moderate-use industrial finishing operations, a 2 in thick polyester pad may last several days to a week before needing replacement. Regular inspection for visible loading or increased pressure drop is recommended. Some users extend life by rotating or lightly cleaning the pads, but replacement is advised once performance degrades.
