The PMC Xtreme has become one of the most talked-about air-purge guns in polyurea and foam. We break down the specs, what we like, the trade-offs and who it’s the right gun for.
Air-purge guns live a hard life: high pressure, reactive materials and long days. The PMC Xtreme is PMC’s answer for applicators who want one gun that can handle polyurea, protective coatings and spray foam. Here’s our take after looking closely at the specs, the design and the parts that keep it running.
| Type | Air-purge plural-component spray gun |
|---|---|
| Max fluid working pressure | 3,500 psi (241 bar) |
| Max air pressure | 125 psi |
| Output range (1:1) | About 3.1–50 lb/min, depending on chamber |
| Mixing chambers | Diamond-plated (GU-814-DP series) |
| Weight | About 2.4 lb without coupling block |
| Materials | Polyurea, coatings and spray foam |
Specifications as published by PMC. Always confirm against the current PMC documentation for your gun package.
The Xtreme makes the most sense for applicators who spray a mix of polyurea, coatings and foam and want one durable gun platform across that range — and for crews who value long chamber life. If you run a PMC proportioner already, it’s a natural fit.
The PMC Xtreme is a serious, well-thought-out air-purge gun. The diamond-plated chambers, the 3,500 psi rating and a wide output range make it a strong choice for polyurea and multi-material applicators. Want to talk through whether it’s right for your rig? Call (417) 831-5090.
Yes. PMC designs the Xtreme for polyurea, coatings and spray foam, and rates it to 3,500 psi fluid pressure — suitable for high-pressure polyurea work.
PMC’s diamond-plated chambers are designed to resist scratching and wear; PMC states they offer 36% higher scratch resistance than standard chambers.
