PaintSafe

A patented liquid formulation that permanently treats solvent-based overspray wastes from industrial spray booths — eliminating fire hazards, reducing disposal costs, and keeping your operation in compliance.

How PaintSafe Works

PaintSafe binds to and alters the solvents in paint finishes at the molecular level, preventing self-heating and spontaneous combustion while reducing VOC emissions from booth wastes.

Treatment reduces the leachability of M.E.K. from booth wastes to levels below regulatory disposal standards. It also functions as a detackifier and flocculant for water wash booths, replacing those chemical additives entirely.

PaintSafe serves manufacturers across parts production, industrial equipment, furniture, cabinetry, and trailer manufacturing — anywhere solvent-based spray finishing creates hazardous waste.
