Where Are ATEX-Compliant Wet Benches Required?
ATEX-compliant wet benches are essential in environments where explosive substances, high temperatures, and ultrasonic/megasonic processes are involved. These substances can generate flammable gases, vapors, or mists that, when combined with oxygen and an ignition source, may lead to explosions. Below are some typical substances that necessitate ATEX-certified wet benches:
Flammable Solvent
- Acetone
- Ethanol
- Isopropanol (IPA)
- Methanol
- Toluene
Acids and Bases with Explosive Vapors
- Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
- Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
- Hydrofluoric acid (HF)
- Ammonia solutions
Organic Chemicals
- Ether
- Benzene
- Chloroform
- Hexane
Gases and Vapors
- Hydrogen
- Propane
- Butane
- Solvent vapors from cleaning or etching processes
These substances are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, and semiconductors. ATEX-compliant wet benches ensure safe operations by eliminating ignition sources and controlling explosive atmospheres.
