flammable and hazardous to deal with Just want to point out that this is redundant, the only hazard is flammability. Acetone is about as non-toxic as it gets (as long is it isn't in your EYES) and probably *the* most safety-studied solvent in histo

Acetone has hazards other than flammability and odor including potential effects on the nervous system, skin, kidneys, GI tract, as well as blood and bone marrow according to the CDC. And that's why you simply forgot to include a link to the CDC web

We have draft/vent booths for our folks, we had a local company here make them for us with Black lights built in. they work nicely there is a constant draw. We also had the same company build drying cabinets, they have constant draw/ventilation on th

Hi I am having issues with fumes coming from my oven,mainly when running lead free paste,it does not have a traditional motor or fan mounted inside but has a modified top extruding motor with a rod leading to the fan inside. So the top is open to a

What I have seen used are belt driven roof mounted exhausts. There would be a drum fan that is driven by belt and motor. That way the fumes never go over the motor or the belt. We would have to replace the belt every couple of years or so but then it

| We are installing a new reflow oven and I have been told that we do not need to vent the exhaust out through the roof since we have a false ceiling. All that is required is to vent above the false ceiling and that the air exchange is great enough t

For high purification quality at an affordable price I would look into table-top HEPA Filtration Systems. QUICK and HAKKO are perhaps the biggest bang for buck based upon your overall budget. Both use a nearly identical filtration system (3-Stage H

Ralph, Typically our co-op students put down solder paste with a syringe, place the parts on the paste with tweezers, and then reflow the paste with a hot air pencil. This works pretty well when they are hand building prototypes. You can probably

Hey Dave: At our facility, we use those masks that filter out particulates. Our safety department requires all wave operators, maintenance, and even wave process engr's (like me) to have these masks checked every 6 months for proper gasketing, filte
