Keeping a paint booth clean is no easy task; even the best downdraft system will allow paint to build up on the floor, side walls and light fixtures. Eventually this over-spray needs to be cleaned (removed) or it will end up ruining your paint job.
There are many way to clean a paint booth, all involving lots of hard work (example video below). There are also many way to minimize the amount of cleanup required. One of the best ways to do this is by using the 3M Dirt Trap Protection System. (see installation video below)
Another great product, that goes along with Dirt Trap are the 3M Clear-View pads. 3M™ Clean-View Pads 5850 are the simple solution for over-spray on paint booth windows and light fixtures. Unlike other protective coverings, 5850 is an innovative multi-sheeted system that consists of a twenty-layer pad.
Engman-Taylor carries both of these products and we have specialists that can help select the right product, provide technical support, and (depending on your location) come to your facility and provide some great solutions. Contact us today.
The Dirt Trap Protection System is an innovative solution for paint environments that improves paint quality and productivity by trapping airborne contaminants in paint areas. The system protects your paint area investment and reduces paint booth maintenance. Watch the video to the right to see how easily Dirt Trap can be applied to a paint booth using our Dirt Trap Applicators.
Dirt Trap Protection Material consists of an adhesive backed non-woven material designed to trap dust, dirt and overspray. When applied to floors and walls in paint environments the material reduces contaminants that can settle in freshly painted surfaces. The material is white in color which brightens paint areas which improves visibility for color matching and paint coverage. The unique adhesive formulation effectively adheres to properly prepared walls and floors and is easily re-positioned during application.
Installation of the 3M Dirt Trap Protection System
Good ol' fashioned hard work; Nothing wrong with this method if you have the time to do it.
Another method is to blast the sides of the booth clean (in this case using dry ice). Still a lot of work and something you will have to outsource. Again, nothing wrong with this method but prevention is still the best solution.
Show us your paint booth; add a link to your YouTube video or webpage - we would love to see it.
