The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has developed a computer
based predictive model of air pollutant levels during spray
application. This is known as MIST (Modelling of Isocyanates and
Solvent Transport).
This project has been carried out with the aim of providing
the HSE with sufficient experimental data to evaluate the model.
The study was carried out in an automotive down-draught spray
booth. Two-pack polyurethane refinish paints of known composition
were spray applied to a car body under controlled conditions. Air
monitoring was carried out to determine the levels of solvent
vapour, isocyanates and total particulates. The paint transfer
efficiency and rate of isocyanate reaction was also determined.
All experiments were recorded on video.
