Explosion Proof Lighting Ensure The Safety For Chemical And Pharmaceutical Industry

The purpose of chemical process industry is to convert chemical raw material such as inorganic or organic materials into consumer chemicals, specialty chemicals through processed chemical reactions. Paint booth and chemical workshop are two typical applications in chemical process industry. For some areas where the chemical reaction occurs or close to the reaction place, Class 1 Division 1/Zone 1 should be applicable, Class 1 Division 2/Zone 2 should be considered for other hazardous areas.

Classified areas in the pharma industry can be Class 1 Div 1 and Class 1 Div 2 according to NEC standards, Zone 1 and Zone 2 subject to ATEX or IECEx standards as hazards in the pharmaceutical industry are possibly ignited to reach an explosion limit. Utilities in pharmaceutical manufacturing are accommodated in cleanroom based on GMP requirements, explosion-proof lighting is mostly used in accordance with GMP lighting requirements, anyway, industrial lighting for some non-hazardous areas.

Do paint booth lights need to be explosion-proof?

A paint booth is a place to seat surface powder-coated equipment including spray paint booths, and powder coating booths, widely used in the industrial paint industry and auto maintenance workshops. As an ignited mixture of explosive powder and the air is possible to come to be when operating the painting procedures, any ignite source such as electrical arcing should be eliminated in advance to prevent the explosion, paint booth lighting should be protected by explosion-proof technology, thus spray booth lights need to be explosion-proof light fixtures paint booth. 

What's the best explosion-proof led lighting for paint booth?

Traditionally fluorescent lighting fixtures are used for paint booths, in order to enhance the safety and energy efficiency, explosion proof led lighting for paint booths trend to be the best solution now to avoid any dust explosions and reduce the electricity bill, here are some recommendations below:

• Led paint booth lights, Class 2 Div 1, aluminum alloy housing, hazardous location explosion proof linear led lights, SLL-I Series to be used at the ceiling of the paint booth.

• Led spray booth lights, Class 2 Div 1, GRP housing, hazardous location explosion proof led tube lights, SLE Series to be used at the ceiling of the paint booth.

• Explosion-proof light fixtures paint booth, Class 2 Div 1, aluminum alloy housing, SLL-II Series to be used at the wall of the paint booth.

What is a cleanroom in pharma?

Cleanroom provides a clean environment that protects pharmaceutical products from contamination and pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, and aerosol particles, utilities range from pharmaceutical production plants to biopharmaceutical production plants, operating rooms, treatment rooms, and laboratories. GMP cleanroom stands for "Good Manufacturing Practice" cleanroom, which is the globally accepted standard of regulations for drug, medical device, and certain food manufacturing set forth by the American FDA.

What is a cleanroom light?

Cleanroom explosion proof led tube is constructed and factory sealed by confined housing and work normally free of contamination and dust. When the cleanroom exists flammable gas leaked from solvents, gas tank, cleanroom explosion proof led tube should be hazardous location led lighting, here are some recommendations as below:

• Cleanroom light fixtures, Class 1 Div 2, GRP housing, hazardous location explosion proof linear led lights, SLE Series to be used at the ceiling of laboratory cleanroom classified into hazardous locations.

• The clear room led lights, IP66, GRP housing, industrial led linear lights, and IFL-G Series are to be used at the ceiling of pharmaceutical production plants.

• Clear room light fittings, NEMA 4X, stainless steel housing, industrial linear fluorescent light, IFL-S Series to be used at the wall of the operation room.

What is a chemical workshop?

The chemical material workshop includes areas of the production process, tanks, and drums, refrigerators and freezers, bulk storage, loading and unloading, risk-free filling, hazardous filling, inspection, and work station. Traditionally, chemical material is divided into five main kinds: organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, biochemistry chemicals, analytical chemicals, and physical chemicals. Since the environment may exist hazardous substances with a high possibility during the production process, it requires strict safety levels for any workshop light.

What have led high bay workshop lights in the chemical industry?

Led high bay workshop lights in the chemical industry is mainly hazardous location-led workshop lights. SUREALL explosion-proof led workshop lights provide sufficient lighting coverage and resist the possible explosion ignited by surrounding flammable gas or vapors. Here are some of our recommendations below:

• Workshop ceiling lights, Class 1 Div 1, aluminum alloy, hazardous location explosion proof high bay light, SHB Series to be used at the ceiling of the chemical workshop.

• Led strip workshop high bay lights, Class 1 Div 1, aluminum alloy, hazardous location explosion proof led linear light, SLL-I Series to be used the ceiling of tanks and drums storage area with ceiling mounted.

• Workshop bench light, Class 1 Div 2, GRP, explosion-proof fluorescent light, SLE series to be used at the ceiling of the bench of a work station with ceiling mounted.
