flammable vapours.
Smoking and naked flames must not be allowed in the spraying or mixing areas.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be provided in the spraying and mixing areas.
Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company requirements
governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation maintenance and housekeeping of work stations.
HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS – for example 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and Methylene
Chloride can chemically react with aluminum and galvanised or zinc coated parts and cause an
explosion hazard. Read the label and data sheet of the material you intend to spray.

STATIC ELECTRICITY – is generated by fluid moving through pipes and hoses. A static spark,
capable of igniting certain solvents and coating materials, could be produced by high fluid flow rates.
To prevent the risk of fire or explosion, earth continuity to the spray equipment and object being
sprayed should be maintained.
