What is the purpose of a spray booth?

The purpose of a spray booth is specifically designed for the application of flammable finishes, such as paints and coatings. These booths provide a controlled environment that helps manage the hazards associated with spray applications, including the accumulation of flammable vapors and the need for proper ventilation. By isolating the spraying process, spray booths not only enhance safety for the operators by minimizing exposure to harmful chemicals but also reduce the risk of fire or explosion that can result from flammable materials.

Additionally, spray booths often include features such as explosion-proof lighting, proper airflow management, and filtration systems to capture overspray and prevent the release of harmful particulates into the air, further ensuring a safe working environment.
