Triglycidylisocyanurate (TGIC) TGIC is classified as a hazardous chemical and is commonly used in powder coating activities. It is: a skin sensitiser toxic by ingestion and inhalation genotoxic capable of causing serious eye damage. You should check SDSs and labels to determine if the powder coat colors you are using contains TGIC. Electrostatic powder coating containing TGIC are applied by electrostatic process.Workers who may come into direct contact with TGIC powder coatings include persons: filling hoppers manually spraying powder paint,Read More …

Two common types of ventilation used in spray painting are: Local exhaust ventilation captures the overspray and solvent vapour as close to the source of release as possible by drawing the contaminants into a capture hood. They should be fitted with a particulate filtration system to filter overspray. Wherever possible, local exhaust ventilation should be used when a spray booth cannot be used. It may be necessary to use it in combination with other control measures. Information on local exhaustRead More …

You should ensure that the plant and spray equipment used in spray painting or powder coating activities is well maintained, operational and clean. This includes: regular visual checks of equipment and plant, including engineering controls and ventilation systems regular monitoring and testing of ventilation flow rates regular servicing of all equipment and plant procedures for reporting and repairing faulty equipment records of servicing, maintenance, repair and testing of plant and equipment should be kept for future reference. When undertaking maintenanceRead More …

During powder coating application , the conditions for dust explosions must be paid attention highly to avoid any problem occur . A number of conditions must exist simultaneously for a dust explosion to occur. The dust must be combustible (as far as dust clouds are concerned, the terms “combustible”, “flammable” and “explosible” all have the same meaning and could be used interchangeably). The dust must be dispersed (forming a cloud in air). The dust concentration must be within the explosibleRead More …
