Kentucky-based Denios now offers a new line of non-sparking tools to bring vital safety and reliability to locations with higher risk of fire or explosion.
Crafted from high-quality, non-ferrous materials including aluminum bronze, phosphor bronze and brass, beryllium copper, or copper-nickel metals, they are designed to prevent spark generation, making them ideal for areas where flammable vapors, gases, or dust are present.
A full lineup of FM-approved tools which meet OSHA standards is available, ensuring compliance while protecting workers and facilities. Wrenches and screwdrivers, brushes and scrapers, hammers, pliers, crowbars, and an assortment of kits are available to cover a wide range of applications and industries including mining, oil and gas, chemical processing, grain handling, manufacturing, utilities, emergency response, the military and more.
“Working with steel tools can generate sparks, which can ignite gas-air mixtures leading to explosions. In areas where such mixtures are present, flammable sparks can be catastrophic, and must be strictly avoided,” the company said.
“Non-sparking tools are designed to prevent spark generation during use, making them essential for performing maintenance, repairs, and operations in environments with flammable vapors, gases, or dust. Non-sparking tools help avoid accidental ignitions, reducing harmful injuries and disasters that often result in costly interruptions to workflow.”
Safety tools made from special alloys offer a critical safeguard for working confidently in hazardous environments. Corrosion-resistant tools suited for harsh environments as well as confined spaces and underwater applications, are available, as are non-magnetic versions which are appropriate for MRI or magnetic environments.
