Our Solutions
Identify, assess and mitigate risk from fire and explosion incidents for downstream industrial and domestic use within the paintings and coatings industry
Althouhg there has been a growth in aqueous-based coatings systems rather than solvent based systems, solvents are prone to unique hazards that pose serious fire and explosion risk
Explosion protection measures include containment, explosion venting and/or suppression. A basis of safety should be correctly implemented per equipment
Knowing how often, when and where explosible vapours and dusts may be generated which can mix with air to produce an explosive atmosphere – this is known as the Hazardous Area Classification which determines a risk based zone
An ignition source may be hot surfaces, electrostatic discharges or open flames. It is important to test and understand the potential electrical charge of all of these key areas, equipment (earthing & extraction) and materials.
