<h1>Using Flammable Solvents? Why Fume Extractors Can Save Your Life.</h1>

Working with flammable solvents always presents a hazard and just ventilating isn’t always the answer. Ethyl alcohol and acetone can quickly form flammable, even explosive complexes when they mix with the air and it doesn’t even have to be in a confined space. Mold release compounds, turpentine, thinners, even enamel paints can present a fire or explosion hazard if there is any kind of ignition source present. 

 

And even if the fumes don’t cause a fire or explosion, you certainly don’t want to breathe them, as organic solvents can cause skin defatting, dermatitis, central nervous system depression, or chronic toxic effects on internal organs, such as liver or kidney damage, and of course all sorts of respiratory issues.

 

Portable fume extractors and HVAC-based gas filtration systems can easily prevent these hazards, if the right units are purchased and used consistently and correctly. Flammable solvent fume extractors not only contain super-activated carbon, even specially-tuned carbon that specifically removes the chemical compounds present, but are also usually equipped safety devices such as spark arrestors (in welding units) and explosion proof motors. These safety devices prevent sparks from igniting fumes in and around the unit, as well as those fumes that are building up in the carbon filter.

 

Top fume extractor manufacturers such as Electrocorp offer explosion proof motors that have an enclosure that prevents sparks and heat from the motor from creating ignition with the fumes and gases being extracted. And since the quality and quantity of the carbon has a lot to do with how well the fumes are removed and how long the filters last, Electrocrop has become a world leader in fume & gas collection systems—not just for performance, but also affordability.

 

So take great care when purchasing any fume extractor, especially for use with flammable solvents or products containing flammable solvents. Cheaper isn’t always better, and using a lower grade of carbon or a carbon blend that is not tuned to remove your specific solvent fumes could mean the difference good or bad health, or even life and death for you and your business.
