ATEX Booth Glossary
Content trust and applicability
Engineering guidance for robotic spray painting, paint booths, paint supply systems, and production-scope decisions.
Best used for early-stage feasibility checks, vendor comparison, scope definition, and internal project alignment.
Final specifications still depend on coating chemistry, part family, takt, utilities, site layout, local code, and EHS review.
Based on TD engineering team experience, recurring project delivery patterns, and equipment-integration practice.
Curated terms for ATEX, Zone 1, booth airflow, overspray, and solvent handling.
ATEX Certification
Equipment suitability for explosive atmospheres under the ATEX framework.
Why it matters: This is the baseline term buyers use when checking whether robots, controls, and booth hardware can legally operate in classified spray zones.
Booth Airflow
The airflow pattern and capture behavior inside the spray booth.
Why it matters: Airflow directly affects solvent vapor dilution, overspray capture, and the practical size of the classified zone.
Overspray
Paint that misses the part and remains suspended or deposits on booth surfaces.
Why it matters: Overspray load influences booth contamination, solvent concentration, and the stress placed on ventilation and filtration systems.
VOC and solvent handling
The storage, transfer, purge, and exhaust-management rules surrounding volatile coatings and cleaning media.
Why it matters: Many ATEX discussions begin with booth zoning but are actually driven by solvent handling and purge routines across the full line.
