Engineered Fire Protection for Paint Mixing Operations

Paint mixing processes are often overlooked when it comes to fire protection; however, they involve flammable liquids and vapors that can significantly increase fire risk if not properly addressed. 

We are currently completing the installation of an engineered fire protection system for a paint mixing application at a packaging facility in Ontario. This system was specifically designed to address the unique hazards associated with paint mixing and blending equipment. 

Key objectives of the system include: 

• Manual system operation for controlled response 

• Fast, targeted fire suppression to limit fire spread and minimize equipment damage 

• Clean agent technology with no residue after discharge, supporting personnel safety, business continuity, and reduced downtime 

Even prior to project completion, this installation demonstrates the importance of engineered fire protection solutions for paint mixing operations—particularly in packaging and manufacturing environments where equipment loss and operational downtime can be costly. 

If your facility operates paint mixers or similar equipment handling flammable materials, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss practical, code-compliant fire protection strategies tailored to your specific process and risk profile.
