The danger of paint particles, isocyanates and organic solvents during the application of paint is still underestimated or even unknown. Obviously, this is based on the fact that health problems generally show up only after 10 to 15 years of exposure. By then it is too late to take remedial action and the health damage is irrepairable.

Important Note: Environmentally friendly VOCVOC means Volatile Organic Compounds; i.e. organic solvents.These solvents like many other substances trigger the formation of ground level ozone in combination with solar radiation.VOC guidelines established by the European Community (EU) are intended to contribute to reducing solvent emissions. These guidelines will be valid beginning November 1, 2004 for new shops and November 1, 2007 for all companies. Meanwhile, the VOC Guidelines have been incorporated into national law in most EU member states.X»-compliant waterborne base coats are potentially just as hazardous to your health as conventional solvent based paints!

We therefore recommend professional painters use our air fed SATA respirator system or SATA half mask.

The advantages:

• High level of protection as the breathing air is not supplied from a contaminated source (air quality according to DIN 3188)
• SATA Filter timer available to ensure timely filter element exchange
• No inhalation resistance compared to cartridge filter respirators
• Quick pay-back due to reduced operating costs compared to filter masks (less wear of the filter)
• Very lightweight hoods and half masks

In general, for both hobby painters and professionals, a SATA half mask is, sufficient for mixing paints.

The advantages:

• Use is not tied to a certain place
• Low initial purchase price
• Comfortable to wear, unobstructed field of vision (Safety glasses required)
• Easy to use and secure fit
• Pre-filter for extended filter lifetime
• Relatively low inhalation resistance

It goes without saying that all SATA respirators are SiliconePlastics based on a silicon-oxygen structure.Silicone and silicon-based substances have various fields of application in technology and chemistry. Besides industrial use, the sector of construction coatings appreciates aquaeous dispersions of silicone resins (silicone emulsions)for the application of water repellent finishing on walls.Silicone-based substances change the surface tension. Even very small silicone particles can cause considerable coating flaws (silicone craters). Therefore, silicone-based substances (e.g. gloves, oil etc.) must never be used in coating areas.X»-free, solvent-resistant and conductive.
