Humidity control and drying for automotive spray paint booths

To minimise paint loss and ensure even finishes when painting vehicles, it is recommended to maintain a relative humidity (RH) between 45% and 60%, within a temperature range of 20-25°C.

Desiccant dehumidifiers are the most suitable type of moisture management solution for spraying cars, as they can deliver exceptional drying power and efficiency in high-humidity paint booth environments.

In addition to this, overly moist environments can undermine your workers’ comfort and concentration, leaving room for mistakes and poorer-quality finishes.

When your automotive paint spray booth is overly moist, you may notice:

• Paint runs when spraying

• Solvents struggle to adhere to surfaces

• Drying times are longer than expected

• White blushes appear during the application

On the other end of the scale, if your environment is excessively dry, you might see:

• Static electricity build-up

• Dust attracts and clings to wet paint

• Cracks in paintwork

• Overly quick drying times
