When properly maintained, paint booths create a clean working environment to ensure the best results from a spray job. But, continued use and improper maintenance can lead to paint booth filters becoming clogged with dirt and debris which can cause problems.

Why do I need paint booth filters?

 There are two main reasons for using and effectively maintaining paint booth filters:

Firstly, filters are essential in ensuring that air that enters the spray booth is contaminant-free and doesn’t contain unsafe levels of hazardous chemicals. Spray paints can be harmful to humans and cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat. These risks are exacerbated further with long-term use and regular users can experience damage to organs and the nervous system as well as heightened risk of long-term illness. In short, your spray booth filters keep you and your employees safe.

In addition to user safety, input and extraction paint booth filters ensure a clean work environment and a better finish. The filters will trap and remove dirt and debris from the air so that visible particles are removed from your finished paint job.

How does a paint booth filter work?

The paint booth filters act as a screen which blocks airborne contaminants and debris from affecting your work. Most paint booths have multiple filters which play slightly different roles. At the front of your booth, there will be an intake filter, this draws fresh, filtered air into the booth and ensures users are breathing clean air whilst at work. At the back of your filter, there will be an exhaust system that traps and expels toxic and hazardous fumes and ensures only safe particle levels are released back into the air.
