FIRE IN PAINT SPRAY BOOTH DUCTING

Bowes, P.C. and Stark, G.W., 1954. FIRE IN PAINT SPRAY BOOTH DUCTING. Fire Research Notes 139


ABSTRACT

A fire occurred in extraction ducting from paint spray booths, a solvent-wash booth, and a paint dip tank and drip tray hood, exhausted by a common exhausting system. The most likely cause would appear to be spontaneous heating of paint residues in an inaccessible part of the extraction system that could not be cleaned.
