Spraying mask

[cwr]

Hi folks

Just got an electric paint sprayer (not airless). Wondering what sort of mask is required for emulsion?

Thanks

For emulsion you would want a stacked solution, I spray paint a lot, cellulose, 2K, synthetics, waterborne & emulsion and use different "stacks" depending on what I need.

 

The emulsion has the benefit that it should be low on fumes, but a sore throat will follow after painting emulsion without correct masks.

 

I use a 3M mask with an FFP3 filter which is for dust, most of the spray painting fall out is actually considered dust, so first protection is the dust, then you want a a ABE1 filter, which is organic and inorganic vapour (emulsion, I have found sometimes is made with organic pigment and sometimes inorganic). The filters I use are 3M 6057 filters, and the top FFP3's click in on top of them.

 

The 6057's are available from Screwfix and are reusable.

Thanks Carrerahil, that's just the info I was hoping for. So I need this:

and this:

and this:

It fairly adds up, but sure, cheaper than a new set of lungs...

Lol. Still more use than the guy in the paint shop this morning, he just gave me a funny look and said sure I'd hardly need any mask...

It is expensive, but lung diseases hurt more. 

 

Also look up the Sundstrom ones. I think you can also get good deals on the 3M masks on eBay. I have that 3M mask like that and a full face 3M mask which I got on ebay for about £50 - they were £120 elsewhere.

Ok, Thanks.

 

For the 3m one do I also need these?
