FAQ

How to choose the right mask for painting?

To choose the right mask for painting, consider the following factors:

• Type of paint and solvents: If you use solvent-based paints or harsh chemicals, opt for a mask with specific filters for organic vapors (e.g., cartridge masks). For dust and water-based paints, a mask with a dust filter (FFP2 or FFP3) is sufficient.
• Comfort and fit: Make sure the mask fits well on your face to prevent harmful agents from entering. Choose a model with adjustable straps and an exhalation valve to reduce internal humidity.
• Filter duration: Check the filter lifespan based on the intensity and duration of the painting work.

How to choose durable gloves?

When choosing durable gloves for working with paints and other chemicals, consider:

• Glove material: Nitrile gloves are ideal for protection against paints and solvents, while vinyl or latex gloves are better suited for light tasks.
• Thickness and chemical resistance: Opt for gloves with good resistance to the specific chemicals you work with. If you use petroleum-based solvents or paints, choose gloves with high resistance to oils and solvents.
• Size and comfort: Choose gloves that allow easy hand movement and are comfortable for extended use.
