A pressure sprayer with a stainless steel tank and a compressed-air connector as standard, built for hydrocarbon chemistry: cold cleaners, degreasers, tar removers, mineral and vegetable oils. Not suitable for acids, alkalis, acetone or sodium hypochlorite. Alcohols only to a limited extent.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eiK Sprayers \"iK INOX\" 10\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003esolvent pressure sprayer\u003c\/strong\u003e from Goizper, with tank, lance and handle made from stainless steel. You build pressure with the hand pump or hook shop air to the connector in the lid; a safety valve caps it at 6 bar. Seals and materials are rated by the maker for mineral and vegetable oils, release agents, neutral cleaners and hydrocarbons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates it from a polyethylene sprayer is not the tank, it is the seals. A hydrocarbon-based cold cleaner makes the wrong seal swell — it goes soft, loses its tension and the sprayer stops holding pressure. You rarely spot that while filling. You spot it mid-job, when the mist collapses and the pump runs dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed-air connector as standard.\u003c\/strong\u003e On the 10-litre model the connector is included; on the 6-litre it is an extra. You fill once, hook up shop air and never touch the pump for the rest of the tank. The safety valve caps at 6 bar and pulls open to bleed off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleared for hot media and high pressure.\u003c\/strong\u003e In the maker's materials table the stainless range is the only one that scores top marks on high pressure, hot chemicals up to 50 °C and weather resistance. The three plastic ranges sit at \"limited\" on all three.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTen litres usable, thirteen litres of volume.\u003c\/strong\u003e That three-litre difference is not leftover headspace by accident — it is why pressure holds across a whole fill instead of dropping off after half a tank. At 6 bar the lance puts out 1.13 litres a minute, and one fill replaces ten fills of a 1-litre spray bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e What we see day-to-day is that these sprayers get killed by one alkaline cleaner run \"just this once\". Acetone, caustic soda, potassium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite all sit on not suitable for the stainless range. A single pass is enough to attack the seals, and the damage only shows up weeks later as lost pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThat is exactly why we keep getting questions about sprayers that \"suddenly\" stop holding. Keep one unit per chemical family and label it. And grease the moving parts of the pump every few weeks: the maker names that specifically as the way to extend seal life — it sits in the small print and almost nobody does it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe air connector does the pumping for you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou fill through the wide funnel in the lid, parking the unscrewed pump chamber in its own holder while you do. Then you decide where the pressure comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy hand: the base has two brackets you put a foot on while you pull the chamber. Without something to hold it down the unit walks, with a foot on the bracket you pump against your own weight and watch the gauge to see where you are. On air: open the connector in the lid, click the coupling on, done — shop air does the work and you never touch the pump for the whole fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo nozzles come in the box. The adjustable cone covers panels when you want to wet an engine bay or an underbody evenly. The fan in the elbow works tighter, on edges, seams and wheel arches. The stainless lance is 50 centimetres, the hose 1.8 metres — together that gets you down a whole side of a car from where the unit stands, without dragging it along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor longer walks you sling it over your shoulder on the strap. Because you are atomising solvents here, the maker shows the job done with a respirator, goggles and gloves throughout — with cold cleaner in an engine bay that is not a formality, it is the difference between breathing the mist and not. Don't spray in a draught or in full heat, or more product drifts off than lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handiest detail is the one no product photo shows: the lance holder on the head doubles as a grip when you tip the tank to empty it. Getting ten litres of leftovers out under control, without hugging a wet tank, is exactly why that bar sits there. More units of this type are in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/druckpumpzerstaeuber\"\u003epressure sprayers\u003c\/a\u003e category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHydrocarbons yes. Acids and alkalis no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless range is built for hydrocarbons and locked out of acids.

Isopropanol mixes fall under \"limited\" — they destroy nothing, but seal life is shorter than with pure hydrocarbons, so we would not tie up a 246-euro unit for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are four hard limits. First every acid, no exceptions and no percentage threshold. Second acetone, alkalis and sodium hypochlorite. Third a lot of halogenated solvents, which the maker rules out across the board. And fourth thick media: the sprayer handles thin release agents, not heavy grease and not tacky underbody coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGoizper also states plainly that given the spread of products on the market it guarantees no universal compatibility. When in doubt your chemical's data sheet decides, not the category — and if a chlorine or acid content shows up there, the product stays out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat turns into a simple split. If your product is alkaline, so APC, wheel cleaner or pre-wash, it belongs in an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ik-sprayers-ik-alk-15-druckpumpzerstaeuber-alkalisch\"\u003ealkali-resistant pressure sprayer\u003c\/a\u003e with EPDM seals. If it is acidic you want the Multi range. If it is hydrocarbon-based the INOX is right — and if you only need a litre of that now and then, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ik-sprayers-druckpumpzerstaeuber-ik-hc-1-5\"\u003e1-litre pressure sprayer\u003c\/a\u003e carries the same chemical clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTen litres pay off once you work by the panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iK INOX 10 pays for itself when you wet surfaces regularly: engine bays, underbodies, suspension, wheel arches, shop floors. From that volume on, the tank buys back time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA litre lasts a few minutes on surface work. Do an underbody from a 1-litre bottle and you spend half the job refilling and re-pumping — at ten litres with shop air both disappear. On top of that comes the clearance for media up to 50 °C: degreasers mixed warm cut faster, and the plastic ranges are only cleared for that to a limited degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust as honestly the other way round: if you spray half a litre of brake cleaner twice a year, you do not need this. A solvent-resistant solvent pressure sprayer in bottle format costs a fraction and does exactly the same at that volume. The premium buys tank capacity, stainless steel, a gauge and shop air — not better atomisation on a one-litre job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the 6-litre stainless model the maths is sober too. It handles the same chemistry and carries the same clearances. The compressed-air connector there is an extra though, while here it is standard. If you have shop air on the wall you effectively get the connector thrown in with the 10-litre — if you don't, the smaller unit saves you real money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tip that decides how long it lives is not on the box, it is in the maintenance notes: grease the moving parts of the pump regularly. The maker names that specifically as the way to extend seal life — and it is the step almost nobody takes between two jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with two minutes of rinsing and bleeding the pressure before you put it away, that is the difference between a unit that lasts three seasons and one that weeps after a winter on a cold shelf. Blocked nozzles get flushed with water, never with wire or a needle — a widened orifice atomises worse forever. Store it frost-free between 5 and 30 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iK Sprayers","offers":[{"title":"10 Liter","offer_id":58397437919567,"sku":"D1-IKS-83374","price":334.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/ik-sprayers-druckpumpzerstaeuber-ik-inox-10_1-stueck.png?v=1786017104","url":"https:\/\/detiiling1.com\/products\/ik-sprays-druckpumpzerstauber-ik-inox-10","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
