Several processes in the chemical and paint industry use materials that are prone to explosion. These materials are sometimes volatile and emit fumes, which becomes a major cause of concern. The condition demands the use of process equipment built using explosion-protected components/ parts. Electric motors used in such equipment are a major source of sparks and, hence, require special enclosures to avoid contact of sparks with the atmospheric air containing hazardous fumes.
