22、 the manu-facturers Material Safety Data Sheet for specific feed-stock materials used.Airborne metal dusts, finely divided solids, or accu-mulations should be treated as explosives. Adequateventilation in the thermal spray work area and collectionof the overspray should be made to minimize the dange
23、rof dust explosions and fires. In shop environments, wet-bag, and filter-cartridge collectors may be used to collectthe fine overspray particles, thus minimizing the explo-sion and fire hazard and release of controlled and hazard-ous materials. Bag- and filter-cartridge-collector unitsshould be at l
24、east 15 m (50 ft) removed from the sprayingarea to preclude ignition from the flame or heat ofthermal spray guns.Field work may require partial or complete contain-ment of the work site for surface preparation and thermalspraying and the collection and safe disposal of the usedblasting media and the
25、rmal spray overspray. Follow theindustrial safety and environmental compliance require-ments cited in 3.1 and section 13. Consult local com-munity (city, county, and state) and Federal air qualityand hazardous materials control agencies for amplifyinginformation as required.The extremely hot conditi
26、ons of thermal spray opera-tions require additional precautions such as not pointingthe thermal spray gun at any person or at any combust-ible or explosive material. Paper, wood, oily rags, clean-ing solvents, sealers, and paints should be stored awayfrom the thermal spraying area.Good housekeeping
27、in the shop and field work areasshould always be maintained to avoid accumulation ofmetal dusts, with particular attention given to inspectingfor dust on beams, rafters, tops of booths, and in floorcracks.2.2 Thermal Spray Powder. The following are basicsafety principles for handling aluminum and zi
28、nc powders:(1) Read and follow the manufacturers instructionson the Materials Safety Data Sheet.(2) Avoid any condition that will suspend or floatparticles in the air creating a dust cloud.(3) Avoid actions that generate static electricity, cre-ate sparks or otherwise result in reaching the ignition
29、energy or temperature. This includes NO SMOKING.(4) Take actions to minimize and dissipate the gener-ation of static electricity, such as bonding and ground-ing, to avoid spark discharge.(5) Take steps to limit the size of a fire or explosionand to hold any resulting damage to the very minimum,i.e.,
30、 store aluminum and zinc powder containers sepa-rately and away from flammable materials and oxidizingagents such as sulphur and nitrates. Zinc dust forms anexplosive mixture with dry and nioist air.(6) Do not use water to extinguish aluminum or zincfires. Use dry sand or a Class D extinguisher.SAFE
