A paint strainer is a filtering tool used to remove impurities, clumps, and debris from paint, ensuring a smooth and even application. It helps prevent clogged spray guns, uneven finishes, and unwanted particles in the final coat.

Key Features:

• Size & Mesh Rating: Available in various mesh sizes (e.g., 100 to 400 microns) to filter different types of paint, varnish, or stains.

• Reusable or Disposable: Some strainers are washable and reusable, while others are single-use for convenience.

Common Uses:

• Filtering Paint: Removes dirt, dried paint bits, and contaminants from latex, acrylic, oil-based, and automotive paints.
