Explosivity of powdered paints in lacquering cabins

Abstract

Danger of explosion exists in process of lacquering in which powdered paint is present. This danger is especially probable when powdered paint occurs in roiling state in the presence of an oxidant (mostly in the form of air). If there is suffi cient energy source, conditions for initiation are created. Safety must be ensured on the workplace with danger of explosion. This safety must be in compliance with the requirements of the legislation approved in the European Union and their implementation in the laws of Czech Republic.
