C.A. Technologies Panther 100G — P100G-18-2263 (1.8mm Nozzle, 2263 Air Cap)

The C.A. Technologies Panther 100G P100G-18-2263 is a 1.8mm PTFE coated conventional pressure feed spray gun paired with the 21-2263 air cap — one of C.A. Technologies’ top recommended configurations for adhesive spraying. At 14 SCFM and pressure feed, this setup delivers consistent, high-volume flow of heavy body adhesives, contact cements, urethanes, and high solid industrial coatings. Used daily in furniture manufacturing, woodworking, and industrial finishing operations where reliable adhesive application and easy cleanup are non-negotiable. The PTFE hard coat on both the gun body and air cap resists material buildup and dramatically reduces cleaning time. All stainless steel fluid passages. US made.

Application

CET Application Match — Best for This Setup

The P100G-18-2263 is a CET Preferred Setup for adhesive and heavy coating applications where pressure feed consistency matters. C.A. Technologies specifically recommends the 21-2263 air cap for adhesive spraying — at 14 SCFM and pressure feed, this configuration delivers steady, controlled flow of heavy body materials without the pressure drop variability you get from siphon setups. Based on over 20 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team regularly specifies this configuration for woodworking, furniture manufacturing, and industrial laminating operations running contact cements and urethane adhesives daily.

The 1.8mm orifice handles the full range of medium to heavy viscosity coatings in the 21–30+ second Zahn #2 range. Paired with a pressure tank outfit, this setup runs continuously at production volumes without flow interruption — making it the right choice for operations where downtime from re-cupping or flow inconsistency is not acceptable.

• Furniture and cabinet shops: Used daily for contact cement and urethane adhesive application on panel and case goods production lines
• Industrial laminating: Consistent pressure feed flow keeps adhesive coverage uniform across large substrate runs
• High solid enamels and urethanes: 1.8mm at 14 SCFM atomizes heavy body finish coatings cleanly under pressure
• Production finishing: Pressure feed with tank outfit eliminates re-cupping downtime for continuous spray operations

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does C.A. Technologies recommend the 21-2263 for adhesives?

The 21-2263 is a pressure air cap at 14 SCFM — pressure feed delivers more consistent flow and better atomization of heavy body adhesives than siphon feed, especially at production volumes. Combined with the 1.8mm orifice, it handles contact cements, urethanes, and high-viscosity adhesive formulations without restriction or flow drop.

What is the difference between the P100G-18-2263 and P100G-18-2266-3T?

Both are 1.8mm pressure feed configurations recommended for adhesives. The 21-2263 runs at 14 SCFM with a standard aluminum air cap. The 21-2266-3T runs at 16.2 SCFM with a PTFE coated air cap — the Teflon coating on the 2266-3T makes it easier to clean after sticky adhesives and gives a wider 15" maximum fan. CET recommends the 2266-3T for the most demanding adhesive applications; the 2263 is an excellent all-round pressure setup for adhesives and heavy coatings.

What materials work best with the 1.8mm fluid nozzle?

The 1.8mm orifice handles medium to heavy viscosity coatings in the 21–30+ second Zahn #2 range — automotive base coats, urethanes, epoxies, high solid enamels, heavy body primers, and adhesives. For very thin materials, a smaller orifice is more appropriate. CET’s technical team can confirm the right orifice for your specific material — call or text 586-210-0555.

What repair kit does the Panther 100G use?

All Panther 100G configurations use repair kit 10-110, which includes all wear seals, o-rings, springs, and needle seal components for a complete rebuild. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm availability for same-day shipment.

Is a carbide nozzle available at 1.8mm for abrasive materials?

Yes — the 31-0618V carbide nozzle is a drop-in replacement for the standard 1.8mm stainless nozzle and extends service life significantly when spraying abrasive or particle-laden coatings. CET’s team can advise on whether carbide is warranted for your specific application.

Where can I find the full Panther 100G parts manual?

The CET Difference

Why Choose the Panther 100G

PTFE Coated Durability for Demanding Applications

The Panther 100G is the only gun in the C.A. Technologies conventional lineup with a PTFE hard coat on both the gun body and air cap. This matters most when spraying adhesives, contact cements, and other sticky or aggressive coatings that tend to foul standard aluminum gun bodies and air cap faces.

• PTFE hard coat body & air cap: Prevents adhesive from bonding to surfaces, dramatically reducing cleaning time and extending component life.
• All stainless steel fluid passages: Full chemical resistance across solvent-based, waterborne, and aggressive adhesive formulations.
• Heavy duty needle spring: Maintains consistent trigger response and needle return under continuous production use.
• Forged aluminum body: Lightweight and durable — built for all-day production use without fatigue.
• 17 air cap options: From 0.6mm siphon to 2.8mm pressure — one platform covers the full range of coating viscosities.
