Anest Iwata LS-400 Series 2 Base – Cutting-Edge Spray Technology

Modern performance, advanced technology, and flawless basecoat application—the LS-400 Base Series 2 is a revolutionary HVLP Hybrid spray gun designed for both waterborne and solvent-based basecoats. With two nozzle options (ET and ETS), it delivers precision, efficiency, and consistency for the most demanding refinishing jobs.

Split Nozzle 2.0 Technology – Game-Changing Atomisation

The LS-400 Base features Split Nozzle 2.0 technology, engineered to atomise clearcoat with unmatched precision. It eliminates common spray issues such as popping, overloading, and solvent boil—giving you smooth, even coverage across horizontal and vertical panels, every time.

Key benefits:

  • Superior droplet control with consistent size and shape

  • Reduced risk of sags, runs, and refinish defects

  • Fewer passes required = significant paint savings

  • Proven to be one of the most economical spray guns available

Refined Design & Enhanced Durability

  • Scratch-resistant PVD coating for long-lasting protection

  • Linear fan and fluid adjustment for precise control

  • Smooth trigger action for effortless operation

  • Double-tapered thread system for improved sealing and maintenance

ET vs ETS Nozzles — What Sets Them Apart?

Both ET and ETS nozzles come in similar sizes (e.g., 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm) and are part of Iwata’s Split Nozzle™ 2.0 system for enhanced atomisation. The core distinction is in how they’re optimized for different climatic conditions:

  • ET (Standard/Humid Conditions)
    Designed for use in standard or humid environments. Ideal when the air holds more moisture.

  • ETS (Dry Conditions)
    Tailored for dry climates. Includes slightly more central material—meaning a wetter, faster application—which helps prevent the paint drying before it reaches the surface.

Why It Matters

Choosing the right nozzle ensures your paint remains fluid and lays down smoothly. In dry environments, the ETS option helps reduce premature drying and improves finish and transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, ET is your go-to in more typical or humid settings.
