Job quality and productivity, health and safety, and clean air all require mechanical ventilation, which provides a constant amount of exhausted air while the booth is in operation. It keeps VOC vapors at the required low flammable level (LFL) and helps reduce rework. Uniform airflow along the entire length of the exhaust slot eliminates air whirls and helps to prevent "dead air" pockets in an effort to protect the finished surfaces, the painter and the environment. Mechanical ventilation also provides immediate capture of overspray, collecting it in a safe place to provide safety to life and property.
Many businesses have bought in to the idea that spray painting has always been wasteful and always will be. Over the last 10 years, the Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) at the University of Northern Iowa has made great efforts to prove to auto body, industrial and military paint operations that despite the wasteful nature of spray painting, improving the knowledge, technique and technology provided to paint technicians can greatly enhance efficiency of the operation.
Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Mich., plans to build a new phenolic glycol ether production unit in Freeport, Texas, to meet the changing needs of its performance solvents customers. The new unit, which will come on-line in the third quarter of 2006, will replace existing capacity in Midland, Mich. The new unit will produce DOWANOL EPh and PPh and will be designed to meet immediate and forecast demand for these fast-growing performance solvents. The facility will incorporate the latest technology resulting in an improvement in product quality and consistency. One of the key factors behind the decision to build the new unit in Freeport is easier access to key raw materials - phenol, ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO).
