Gas warning devices in the production of paints + varnishes
Safety with every mixing process
The production of paints, varnishes and coating materials is a demanding process with high requirements in terms of quality, efficiency – and safety. This is because a large number of chemical raw materials are used in production: solvents, resins, pigments and additives, which are often highly flammable, irritating or toxic.
Whether in mixing rooms, production lines or during filling – invisible vapors and gases are omnipresent and can quickly become a serious danger to people, systems and the environment without appropriate gas monitoring.
Typical hazardous substances in paint production:
- Solvents: e.g. acetone, butyl acetate, toluene, xylene – highly flammable and harmful to health
- Isocyanates: in 2K systems – sensitizing and toxic
- Alcohols and ketones: highly volatile, explosive
- Aromatics: partly carcinogenic and difficult to smell
Dangers and risks without gas warning technology:
- Explosion hazard due to solvent vapors in case of improper ventilation
- Health risk due to chronic VOC exposure
- Unnoticed leaks from pipes, containers or pumps
- Violation of legal regulations such as ATEX, TRGS, GefStoffV
Legal requirements:
- ATEX directives (potentially explosive atmospheres)
- TRGS 400 / 510 / 900 (Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances)
- GefStoffV (Ordinance on Hazardous Substances)
- Occupational exposure limit values (OEL) for solvent vapors
Our solution: Tailor-made gas detection systems for paint production
Our systems offer permanent monitoring of critical areas – such as mixing plants, storage rooms, dosing stations or filling stations – and detect even the smallest concentrations of hazardous gases in real time.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Early warning of hazardous solvent or isocyanate vapors
- Explosion protection through automatic shutdowns or ventilation
- ATEX-compliant sensors for production environments
- Integration into process control systems and emergency plans
- Reliable documentation and proof of protective measures
Paint production requires precision – and safety at the highest level.
With our gas detection systems, you create the basis for a safe, legally compliant and trouble-free production process.
