How to avoid fire caused by static?
In autumn or winter, the air is so dry that it's very easy to make static and cause fire. Substances that could make static include fiber, spring-loaded packages, sponge, non-woven fabric, etc. Preventive measure are as follows:
Keep the ventilation and moderate humidity of the workshop.
When operating in the workshop, handle with care and try best to avoid the friction between sponge and spong, spring-loaded packages, non-woven fabric, etc.
Operate pressure agglutination only after the solvent of glue completely volatilized (or the glue not sticks to hands) when finish spray painting.
Static electricity discharge should be done on the sponge, metal holder, spring-loaded packages, etc., before application.
Sponge, spring-loaded packages and other materials are not allowed to put on insulating materials and contact direct sunshine.
Workers conducting spray gluing should wear special clothes protecting from static.
Workshops should be equipped with luminous tube, switch and ventilator all against blast.
