Components of a spray application system are described herein. The at least one component comprises a liquid repellent surface layer. The liquid repellent surface (e.g., the layer) may comprise a porous layer and a lubricant impregnated into the pores of the porous layer; Fluoropolymers; Fluorine compound-based materials and organic polymeric binders; A fluorine compound-based material, a molten additive, and a thermoplastic polymer material component. The components are typically a liquid reservoir, a liquid reservoir liner, a reservoir for a liquid reservoir or a liner, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the component comprises a thermoplastic polymeric material. In some advantageous embodiments, the component is a removable liquid reservoir or liner. In some advantageous embodiments, the component is a foldable liquid reservoir or liner. The spray application system typically additionally includes a gravity-fed spray gun. A spray application system, as well as a method of using the spray application system, as well as a method of manufacturing a component of a spray application system, wherein the component has a liquid repellent surface, is also described. |
