Chemical resistant safety curtain in Garland TXIndustrial Curtain Walls to Contain Chemical Splash

We’ve found a safe and cost-effective way to eliminate chemical splash is to enclose high risk areas with chemical resistant industrial curtains.  Chemical curtain walls are designed to withstand numerous types of chemicals and hazardous materials as well as spray and wash down situations.

  • Retractable and movable curtain systems
  • Separate work areas for specific requirements
  • Protection against dangerous chemicals and acids

Safety Specialist Assists with Correct Safety Solution

Akon Custom U-shaped Industrial Curtain WallSafety specialist, Doug Hutchins, thoroughly documented the chemicals in the problem area.  He brought the chemical list to Akon industrial curtain engineers to assure the purchase of the correct chemical resistant curtains.

A U-shaped hazmat type curtain was chosen to completely enclose the area.  It effectively surrounded the piping wall-to-wall, eliminating the risk of chemical spray on workers.  The see-through, retractable curtain was installed on an easy to clean, corrosion resistant rolling track.  It was also important to Ecolab that the curtain would not be moved in any way by air current.  The curtain posts were anchored to the floor to withstand fans and other air movement.
