Akzo Nobel employs hydrogen-powered spray booth
One of the automotive industry’s first hydrogen-powered spray booths has been installed by Akzo Nobel at a new training center in Belgium.
Located near Brussels, the facility is part of a multi-million euro program to expand and upgrade the company’s network of more than 40 Automotive Training Centers (ATCs), which are located across the globe.
Special air filtration system
According to company information, the hydrogen-powered combi spray booth is fully equipped for traditional repairs and includes an all-in-one repairs workstation. As a press statement reads, it also has a special air filtration system which uses “active carbon” to filter any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during the painting process; an extra HEPA air filtration produces clean air (up to 99%), which is filtered back out into the atmosphere.
