Spray booth lighting plays an important role in maintaining visibility, quality and efficiency during painting and coating operations. However, repeated exposure to paint overspray can quickly leave lights covered in layers of dried coating, reducing light output and making routine cleaning more difficult.

Using a temporary peelable coating is a simple and effective way to protect spray booth lighting from overspray while helping to reduce cleaning and maintenance requirements.

Why Protect Spray Booth Lights?

During spraying operations, fine particles of paint and coating can settle on almost every exposed surface inside a spray booth. Lighting is particularly important because even relatively small amounts of overspray build-up can affect visibility.

Poor lighting can make it more difficult for operators to inspect finishes, identify imperfections and maintain consistent application quality.

Regularly scraping or cleaning dried paint from suitable lighting surfaces can also be time-consuming. A removable protective coating provides an alternative by creating a temporary barrier between the light surface and the overspray.

Using Peelable Coatings for Spray Booth Lighting

Protectapeel Boothstrip is a temporary peelable coating developed specifically for use within spray booth environments.

The liquid coating can be applied to suitable spray booth surfaces, including suitable glass lighting surfaces, where it dries to form a protective film. Paint and overspray collect on the Boothstrip rather than directly on the protected surface underneath.

When the coating becomes heavily contaminated, it can simply be peeled away along with the accumulated overspray, revealing the protected surface beneath. A fresh layer can then be applied ready for continued use.

Benefits of Protecting Spray Booth Lighting

Using Boothstrip to protect suitable spray booth lighting surfaces can help:

• Reduce paint and overspray build-up directly on the protected surface
• Maintain better light transmission and visibility
• Reduce time spent scraping and cleaning
• Protect against repeated contamination
• Make routine spray booth maintenance quicker and easier
• Provide a removable alternative to permanent coverings
• Keep spray booth environments cleaner and easier to maintain

More Than Just Lighting Protection

Boothstrip isn’t limited to spray booth lights. The peelable coating can also be used on suitable surfaces throughout the spray booth to help protect against overspray and paint build-up.

This makes it possible to create a more comprehensive temporary protection system for areas regularly exposed during spraying operations.

Once the coating has reached the end of its useful life, it can be peeled away and replaced, helping businesses reduce the amount of intensive cleaning required between maintenance cycles.
