AESUB Yellow is a self-sublimating scanning spray liquid engineered for professional optical metrology and 3D digitisation, delivering a pigment-free, homogeneous matte coating under 2 µm thick that vanishes automatically — no post-scan cleaning required. Developed by scanning specialists, the 200 ml airbrush-applied formula is formulated without TiO₂ or pigments, protecting sensitive scanner optics from contamination while enabling measurement-grade surface conditioning on transparent, reflective, and recessed geometries.
| Layer Thickness | <2 µm (with airbrush application) |
|---|---|
| Coverage per 200 ml | Up to 2 m² |
| Sublimation Time | 6–10 hours (conditions-dependent) |
| Pigment / TiO₂ Content | None — zero pigments and TiO₂-free |
The front label of the AESUB Yellow bottle, shown below, prominently displays the "FREE OF TiO₂" certification stamp — the key differentiator from conventional semi-permanent pigment sprays that contaminate scanner sensors and require laborious cleanup.
Why Scanning Sprays Matter — and Why Zero Pigments Change Everything
Even high-specification structured-light and photogrammetry scanners encounter three surface conditions that degrade or completely block accurate data capture:
- Transparent surfaces — light passes through rather than reflecting back to the sensor
- Specular / mirror-like surfaces — focused instead of diffuse reflection creates sensor saturation
- Deep recesses and undercuts — multi-path reflections generate artifacts and false data
Conventional pigment-based sprays solve the optical problem but create a workflow one: the white TiO₂-laden residue contaminates scanners, measuring rooms, and the components themselves. Objects must be transported, cleaned — or scrapped if cleaning is not feasible. AESUB Yellow eliminates the cleanup step entirely. The active sublimating chemistry converts the matte coating back to vapour within hours, leaving the part, the lab, and the sensor exactly as they were before scanning.
Airbrush-Grade Coating Control: Layer Thickness Below 2 µm
For precision metrology where surface additions directly contribute to dimensional error, layer thickness is not a secondary concern — it is a primary one. AESUB Yellow is optimised for airbrush delivery using a gravity-feed gun with a 0.3–0.5 mm nozzle at approximately 1 bar pressure. Applied correctly in a crosshatch pattern from a distance of 5–10 cm, the deposit stays below 2 µm — an order of magnitude thinner than most aerosol-dispensed matting agents. This makes it appropriate for close-range scans where every micron of accumulated coating affects the fidelity of the final mesh or point cloud.
The back label, pictured below, details the three-stage workflow that defines the AESUB scanning process: Spray → Scan → Done.
Sublimation Timeline: 6–10 Hours and the Factors That Shape It
Once the scan is complete, the coating begins to sublimate without any intervention. Full evaporation typically occurs within 6–10 hours, but this window shifts depending on five measurable variables:
- Temperature — higher ambient temperatures accelerate sublimation; a hair dryer can force the process in minutes when required
- Airflow — ventilation or a desk fan provides meaningful acceleration
- Surface geometry — exposed outer corners vanish faster than deep recesses
- Substrate material — plastics sublimate faster than metals
- Layer thickness — thicker applications extend the window proportionally
In practice, components sprayed with AESUB Yellow remain fully scannable for approximately 4–5 hours — sufficient for all but the longest digitisation sessions. Individual areas can be re-sprayed as needed without affecting previously collected scan data.
Industry Applications: From Automotive to Digital Archiving
The zero-contamination principle of AESUB Yellow makes it the spray of choice in environments where any residue is unacceptable. Validated application domains include:
- Automotive body and powertrain dimensional inspection
- Aerospace component verification and reverse engineering
- Precision tooling and jig measurement
- Museum artefact and architectural digital archiving
- Plastic design, art reproduction, and cultural heritage scanning
- Inline and automated series measurement with AESUB automatic nozzle systems
- Energy sector component inspection and optical metrology services

How to Apply AESUB Yellow for Precision 3D Scanning
The correct airbrush application of AESUB Yellow creates a sub-2 µm homogeneous matte coating ready for optical metrology and structured-light scanning.
Step 1: Prepare the Airbrush
Fill a gravity-feed airbrush gun with AESUB Yellow liquid. Set compressed air pressure to approximately 1 bar and fit a nozzle with a diameter between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. Ensure adequate ventilation in the workspace before starting.
Step 2: Spray the Object
Hold the airbrush 5–10 cm from the object surface. Apply AESUB Yellow wet-on-wet in a crosshatch pattern, moving the nozzle steadily back and forth for a uniform coating. If droplets form or the surface stays wet, increase the spray distance or movement speed. The ideal ambient temperature is 21 °C.
Step 3: Wait for Full Drying
The solvent component evaporates within seconds of application. Allow approximately 1–2 minutes for the full coating to dry and reach its white matte appearance before scanning. Apply reference markers (targets) after spraying, not before — this eliminates the need to clean the markers prior to scanning.
Step 4: Scan as Normal
Proceed with your standard scanning workflow. The AESUB Yellow coating remains fully effective for approximately 4–5 hours. Re-spray individual contours as needed if sections begin to sublimate during extended sessions.
Step 5: Allow Sublimation — No Cleaning Required
Once scanning is complete, set the part aside. The coating will self-sublimate within 6–10 hours depending on temperature, airflow, and substrate material. To accelerate the process, apply gentle heat (hair dryer) or increase air circulation with a fan. No chemical cleaning, rinsing, or wiping is required.
Does AESUB Yellow require any cleaning after scanning?
No. AESUB Yellow is a self-sublimating formula — the coating evaporates automatically within 6–10 hours after application without any manual cleaning. The component, the scanner, and the surrounding environment remain free of pigment contamination.
How thick is the AESUB Yellow coating layer?
When applied correctly with a gravity-feed airbrush at approximately 1 bar and a 0.3–0.5 mm nozzle, AESUB Yellow produces a coating layer of less than 2 µm. This is significantly thinner than aerosol-applied matting agents, making it the preferred choice for high-accuracy close-range scanning.
Why is AESUB Yellow TiO₂-free important for scanner safety?
Conventional scanning sprays contain TiO₂ pigments that can become airborne during application and deposit on scanner lenses, sensors, and laboratory equipment. AESUB Yellow contains no pigments or TiO₂, meaning the spray mist will not contaminate sensitive measurement technology even with repeated use in enclosed spaces.
What surface area does one 200 ml bottle cover?
One 200 ml bottle of AESUB Yellow covers up to 2 m² of surface area depending on application technique and required layer thickness. Because the formula is applied with an airbrush at a very thin deposit, material consumption per unit area is significantly lower than with aerosol-dispensed sprays.
Is AESUB Yellow compatible with all materials?
AESUB Yellow contains solvents and has been optimised for broad material compatibility, but compatibility cannot be guaranteed for every specific application. A patch test is strongly recommended before full application on wax-like surfaces or simple single-component coatings. Consult the Safety Data Sheet available at aesub.com/download for full details.
