Paint Booths & Flammable Material Storage
Fire Protection Engineered for High-Risk Spray, Coating, and Chemical Storage Environments
Paint spray booths, surface finishing lines, and flammable liquid storage areas contain some of the most hazardous combinations in industrial environments: volatile solvents, atomized coatings, ignition sources, and confined spaces where fires can ignite and spread rapidly. Whether in automotive refinishing, manufacturing, aerospace, or industrial coating operations, a single spark can cause catastrophic damage, production downtime, and significant safety risks.
KiddeFenwal delivers advanced fire detection, suppression, and monitoring systems specifically engineered to protect these volatile environments. Our solutions safeguard workers, equipment, and facilities from fires that can emerge in spray booths, mixing rooms, storage cabinets, and exhaust ductwork, ensuring continuity and compliance in operations where fire risk is always present.
Built for High-Volatility Finishing & Chemical Storage Environments
Paint booths and flammable storage applications require fire protection systems that react immediately, perform reliably under harsh conditions, and suppress fires before vapor ignition leads to flashover.
- Fast-Acting Dry Chemical Suppression
Pre-engineered dry chemical systems deliver rapid flame knockdown and are proven effective in spray booths, ducts, plenums, and areas with high concentrations of flammable vapors. - Early Detection in Difficult Spaces
Mechanical thermal detection technologies monitor hard-to-reach areas such as ducts, exhaust systems, mixing rooms, and chemical storage enclosures. - Continuous 24/7 Protection
Automatic detection and release mechanisms ensure suppression even when facilities are unoccupied, preventing after-hours ignition from solvents, overspray, or electrical faults. - Hazard-Specific System Integration
Detection, control units, supervisory devices, and suppression systems operate as a unified network to minimize spread and trigger equipment shutoff sequences. - Explosion & Flash Fire Risk Mitigation
Solutions engineered for environments with suspended particulates, aerosols, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that elevate ignition potential. - Regulatory Alignment
Systems designed to support compliance with NFPA 33 (Spray Applications), NFPA 30 (Flammable Liquids), OSHA requirements, and local fire code authorities (AHJs).
