Liquid Painting Booth

A paint booth for liquid paint works similarly to a powder coating booth where air is pulled across a filter by a fan however there are also quite a few differences between the two types of booths. A liquid paint should be exhausted outside so that hazardous gases are released to the atmosphere rather than back to the building your working in. Since powder coating doesn’t have hazardous gases until it is baked, it is generally safe to exhaust back into your building if you have a proper HEPA filter.Liquid paint booths have to vent to the outside to prevent build up of hazardous gases and prevent exposure of hazardous gases in the building. Liquid paint booths typically rely on a single filter that is generally set to capture less fine particles when compared to the cartridge and multi stage filter systems used in a powder coating booth. Liquid paint booths remove a lot of air from your facility which can create the need for a large heater called an air make up to replace the air being removed. A powder coating booth relies on extensive filtration including a HEPA filter so that you do not have to exhaust the air outside.
