Qualified breathing protection not only includes breathing masks or respirator hoods, but also the protection of skin and eyes.
SATA - Competence in breathing protection system
The dangers that come from the application of paint, overspray, isocyanates and solvent vapor are widely underestimated and not even known. 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 beyond repair.
The SATA respirators are CE approved !
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» water borne products are just as dangerous to your health as conventional solvent based products!
For that reason, we recommend that professional painters use our supplied air respirator system, the “SATA vision 2000” or “SATA Half Mask Respirator”.
Here is a glance at some of the advantages:
High level of protection because breathing air comes from an uncontaminated source
Visual indication of the activated charcoal saturation
No inhalation resistance compared to cartridge filter respirators
- Quick investment return due to reduced operating costs (no cartridge filters)
Very lightweight hood or half mask
- Additional worker health protection advantages are found with each product description
For the hobby painter and paint mixing procedures by the professional, a cartridge filter respirator is generally sufficient. In that case we recommend the “SATA air star F”.
Here is a glance at some of the advantages:
- Use is not restricted to a certain environment
- Very easy to handle
- Other advantage may be found in the product description
Naturally, 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 electrically non-conductive.Close
