Patent number: 10059847Abstract: In various embodiments multi-component systems for the protection of spray booth surfaces and the suppression of dust are provided. In certain embodiments the multi-component system for the temporary protection of a paint spray booth and the suppression of dust comprises a first component comprising a liquid that when applied to a surface of said paint booth dries to form a peelable film; and a second component comprising a liquid that when applied to a surface of said paint booth or to said film, forms a tacky coating that adheres dust particles. In certain embodiments the system further comprises a third component comprising a liquid that when applied to a surface of said paint booth or to said film, forms a tacky coating that adheres dust particles, wherein the composition of said third component is different than the composition of said second component. In certain embodiments the system further comprises a non-woven material configured for application to a floor of a spray booth.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: CAL-WEST SPECIALTY COATINGS, INC.Inventors: Edward William Woodhall, Robert Louis Mesa, Brian Ming Wong
