Description
C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 1.8mm / 21-2266-3T Teflon Pressure Setup (L100C-18-2266-3T)
100 Series Conventional General Purpose | US Made
The Lynx 100C (L100C) is C.A. Technologies' high quality general purpose conventional spray gun, available in both pressure and siphon feed configurations. The L100C-18-2266-3T setup pairs the 31-0618 fluid nozzle (1.8mm) with the 21-2266-3T Teflon-coated pressure air cap — the highest-output pressure configuration in the standard 0.6–1.8mm range at 16.2 CFM with a full 15" pattern. The Teflon coating on the 21-2266-3T makes it particularly well suited for reactive or aggressive coatings where a non-stick surface helps prevent material buildup on the air cap.
Built with a forged aluminum body and all stainless steel fluid passages, the Lynx 100C delivers conventional air spray dependability across a wide range of coatings and industries. Its broad air cap selection — covering siphon feed, pressure feed, and internal mix configurations — makes it one of the most versatile conventional spray guns in the C.A. Technologies lineup.

Best for This Setup
The L100C-18-2266-3T is the right configuration when you need maximum pressure feed output combined with a Teflon-coated air cap for material compatibility reasons. The Teflon coating on the 21-2266-3T serves a specific purpose: it creates a non-stick surface on the air cap face that resists the adhesion of reactive materials, two-component coatings, and fast-kicking epoxies that tend to build up and cure on a bare metal air cap during extended spray runs. This reduces the frequency of tip cleaning stops and helps maintain a consistent pattern throughout a production session. The 1.8mm orifice paired with 16.2 CFM pressure feed makes this setup a high-throughput option for industrial coating lines, automotive refinish shops applying two-stage systems, and any application where tip dry or material buildup on the air cap is a recurring maintenance problem.
Why the Lynx 100C?
The Lynx 100C is C.A. Technologies' answer to conventional spray gun dependability — a workhorse gun built for operators who need reliable, consistent performance across a wide variety of coating applications. The forged aluminum body keeps it lightweight and durable, while the all stainless steel fluid passages ensure compatibility with everything from thin inks and dyes to heavy body primers and adhesives.
- Teflon-coated air cap (21-2266-3T) — the non-stick surface resists material buildup, making this setup ideal for reactive coatings, epoxies, and materials prone to tip dry
- Maximum pressure output — 16.2 CFM at 50 PSI delivers the widest 15" pattern available in the standard 0.6–1.8mm pressure feed range
- Forged aluminum body — lightweight, durable, and built for production use
- Stainless steel fluid passages — compatible with the full range of coatings from thin to thick
- Broad air cap selection — 21 air cap options across siphon, pressure, and internal mix configurations let you optimize for any application
- Available with carbide tipped fluid nozzles — for abrasive material applications that would wear standard stainless steel nozzles
- US Made — designed and manufactured by C.A. Technologies (Coating Atomization Technologies)
