Standards for Spray Booth Safety and Higher Quality Finishing

Thursday, July 21 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Session Code: TH54

Track: Safety & Environment

Speaker: Martin Powell, Global Finishing Solutions

This seminar will discuss fire safety for spray booths and explain how following the NFPA standards 33 and 86, required by the International Building Codes, actually leads to a better finish when spraying highly volatile coatings–whether solvent- or water-based. The most common causes of fires will be reviewed with emphasis on prevention, code changes for 2011, and what is required for installations of finishing equipment, as well as what building inspectors are looking for and facts behind equipment design.  Dust collection booths and oven design will also be discussed. Attendees gain valuable information on the 5 most common causes of fire in a spray booth; fire safety with coatings of all types; and how to make their factory safer –while extending equipment life. They will learn how cleanliness and air flow have everything to do with fire safety and high quality finishes.
