Keep the Spray at Bay

Easy Install

Chemical splash curtains come with grommets at the top, making them quick and easy to hang with or without a curtain track. This allows for fast deployment in areas that need protection.

 Inexpensive

Chemical splash curtains are a fraction of the cost of permanent separation methods such as rigid wall systems, while still offering effective containment. They are also lightweight and simple to store when not in use.

Separate Workers

Chemical splash curtain walls are ideal for separating workers from hazardous splash zones during chemical mixing, cleaning, or production processes, helping maintain a safer work environment.

Guard From Spray

Chemical splash curtains provide a rapid barrier that contains chemical spray and splash. This keeps surrounding areas, equipment, and bystanders clean, dry, and safe from exposure.

chemical-containment-curtains

Available Sizes

All our curtains are custom-made to ensure you get the perfect fit around the area which has the hazardous chemicals. Ideally, you should have your chemical splash curtains at around 30-40’ in width for easier installation. If you need to cover a wider space, you can simply install multiple curtains and connect them with Velcro strips or magnets.
Our curtains have a maximum height of 60’. In case of height issues, you can purchase valance panels to preserve your facility’s ceiling and to eliminate the additional cost of renovating the top half area of your structure.

splash containment enclosure

Freestanding Splash Enclosures

Freestanding splash enclosures are supported from the floor up with base plates. Ideal when top down ceiling mounting options cannot be used or are not ideal. The 16 gauge galvanized steel hardware is designed for rugged industrial use and is quick to deploy and to take down if need be. The freestanding uprights are spaced every 8 to 10 feet allowing for complete access when the splash enclosure curtain is pulled back. Entry options such as strip curtains can also be added for frequent access.

Specific Chemical Resistance

Which Chemicals are the Curtains Rated For?

Vinyl which is also known as PVC is a highly resistant material to most chemicals. That is why our chemical resistant industrial curtains are made from this versatile material. You can view a list of tested chemicals on this PDF Specification Sheet.

  • Chemical Resistance - PDF
  • This chart also lists additionally tested chemicals

What if I don't see the chemicals I use on the sheet?

There are many variables to consider with chemical exposure, such as what chemical it is, its concentration, what form it is in, and how likely it is to come into direct contact with your industrial curtain. If you don't see the particular chemical  that you are using on the above links then please ask Akon to send you a sample of the material that you can then expose to the chemical in the field to test how it reacts to the exposure. Just click the yellow button below to build the curtain online. We will then send you a detailed quote. If the quote is within your budget and meets your needs, then simply ask us to mail you a sample.

Curtain Features

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a clear line
of sight through the curtain. The panels can be made
taller or shorter per your request.

 

Curtain Valances

A valance is made from the same material as the
lower curtain. They are used to seal the opening
above the curtain. This is generally the space from
the roof deck to the bottom of the joist or purlin.
They can be rectangular or follow the roof's slope.

 

Floor Sweeps

A floor sweep seals the open area between the
curtain and the floor. It attaches to the main
curtain by Velcro. They are as wide as the entire
length of the curtain. These are ideal for controlling
dust, fumes, odors and other undesirable elements.
They can also be replaced in the future should the
friction from the floor wear them out.

 

Anchor Straps

Velcro straps hold your curtain in place if a
breeze or if a more secure curtain is needed.
These anchors feature Velcro straps that loop
through a D-ring, which is anchored into the
cement floor. Typically spaced every 1.2 m.

 

Seal Velcro

Seal Velcro, also known as adhesive Velcro, sticks
onto your curtain and can be installed in the field.
Please note that stick-on velcro is not ideal for
cold temperature applications or high-frequency
use.

 

Chain Weights

If you have a slight breeze or are power washing
near the curtain, then we can add a galvanized
lightweight chain weight to the bottom of the
curtain.

 

Connecting Curtains

Velcro

Velcro is used to connect curtain sections
together to form larger curtain walls. The
Velcro also serves as an access point for
larger curtains and makes them easier to
install.

 

Magnets

Seal magnets are an ideal way to attach curtains
to each other or adjacent steel walls and beams.
Best utilized in dusty areas that would clog up
Velcro.

 

Entry Options

industrial-curtain-options (5)

Sewn-In Strip Doors

Strip doors that are sewn into the curtain are
ideal for light foot traffic. This allows for quick
movement of people into and out of the
industrial curtains.

 

Free-Standing Strip Doors

For motorized traffic, a free-standing steel frame
strip door is ideal. The steel frame takes the
stress off of the curtain wall, ensuring longevity
and performance for motor traffic and high use.

 

Swinging Impact Doors

A free-standing industrial swinging door can
also be provided for access. Also known as
impact doors, these heavy-duty doors can
take a lot of abuse from carts, forklifts, or
heavy foot traffic. View Styles

 

 

Roll-Up Doors

Supported with a free-standing steel frame,
the power roll-up doors can be opened and
closed via remote from a forklift. Door
styles and prices vary based on the frequency
of opening and closing, speed requirements,
and size. View Styles

Simply tell AKON your required design, and we will fabricate it exactly to your specifications. For customised layouts, sketch your design and upload it using our online RFQ form. See the button below.

How to Measure

Width

  • Measure the distance that you are trying to cover
    • We will generally add 5% to this dimension to give your curtain a proper drape.
    • When you receive your quote, the hardware width shown will be the actual overall width.

Height

  • Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point
    • We will subtract 7.62 cm to allow for the hardware and keep your curtain just off the ground.
      • If you choose the floor sweep option, we still subtract 7.62 cm. This allows the floor sweep to sit lightly on the floor while the main curtain hangs just above it.
      • If you have a sloped ceiling, please provide the high-point height and the low-point height. We will assume a straight, linear slope. More Info Here On Sloped Ceilings

Common Questions


What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?
Standard curtains have a gap of approximately 2–2.5 cm between the bottom of the track and the top of the curtain.

Spacing from Track

 

What are the dimensions of the track?

 

Can the track be cut to size on site?
Yes. The track is designed to be cut on site using a hacksaw or a Sawzall.

 

How much width does the radius corner add to the length?
The radius corner is 61 cm (24") in diameter. It will add approximately 61 cm (2 ft) to each dimension.
For example, if you have 305 cm (120") of curtain track, adding a radius corner will make the overall length of side “A” about 366 cm (144").

 

How does the track go together?
The track is modular and will arrive in sections with a simple bolt-together design.

 

How close together do I need the track supports?
Track supports should typically be spaced approximately every 1.5 m. The farther apart the supports are, the more the track may deflect. For shorter curtains, supports can sometimes be spaced a little farther apart. You will receive enough support brackets with your order to achieve this 1.5 m spacing.

 

Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?
Yes. This is called a flush-mount installation and is very common. Simply drill through the centre of the track and fix it into your structure using wood screws, bolts, Tek screws, etc. Space the fixings roughly every 0.9–1.5 m.

 

How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?
Installation is straightforward. All components fit together and are secured with set screws. The process is intuitive, but if you have any difficulty, simply call or email us and we will guide you through it.

 

Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments?
The track is hot-dip galvanised (HDG), a process commonly used to protect steel from corrosion in demanding environments. It offers maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion rate of hot-dip galvanised steel is typically about 1/30 that of bare steel in the same environment.
