Solvent and Adhesive Fume Extraction Systems

Spray Painting and Adhesive Fume Extraction Systems & Fume Cabinets

Spray painting and gluing release many organic solvents into the air. To remove these and keep the air safe to breathe, you require a well-planned fume extraction solution, whether it is a localised fume extractor or a fume cabinet.

If not extracted and removed, organic solvents can be respired and cause acute and chronic effects on the central nervous system. Some of the organic solvents you can expect in spray paints and industrial adhesives are Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue), Toluene, Xylene, Hexane, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, and Methyl Butyl Ketone.

These substances are volatile and easily become vapours that can be inhaled if you don’t have a solvent fume extraction system. Once inside the body, they can cause irritation to the respiratory system as well as the central nervous system.

In addition, spray painting relies on spraying fine particles of the paint on to the surface. These fine particles, while airborne, can be inhaled if proper precautions aren’t taken.
