Is there any dangers with mobile phones been around powder spray booths?
Whilst powder coatings have the advantage over solvent based coatings of having a lower explosion point and therefore is less flammable, caution should always be exercised with any electrical source such as mobile phones. Powder coating is a fine organic dust which in high concentration, in the presence of air and an ignition source such as a mobile phone, could trigger a dust explosion. The concentration of dust required to facilitate a dust explosion is significant, however, it is advisable to keep unnecessary equipment away from the booth and powder store. As a precaution, all mobile phones should be kept clear of these areas.
