501-36-10 Paint - General Information 501-36-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION E59517 Item Description 1 Activated charcoal filter 2 Coarse filter For higher concentrations of harmful substances, breathing protection devices which are independent of the local atmosphere are suitable. In these types of isolation systems, a compressed air hose carries natural air from the compressor line into the protective mask. During supply, the air undergoes pressure reduction, water removal, fine filtration and usually warming to natural breath temperature. WARNING: Vapor or spray mist containing isocyanate as a paint base or hardener can cause toxic respiratory disease (conditions similar to asthma) leading to permanent damage, even when inhaled in the lowest concentrations. Filter masks with wadding, sponge or colloid filters and also paper masks are all unsuitable for working with coating materials because they do not stop solvent vapors. The instructions for use provided by the manufacturer must be observed when working with breathing protection equipment. Skin protection Spray painters who are subject to considerable exposure to coating materials must wear suitable protective work clothing (flame-proof and anti-static). NOTE: Also, when working with water based materials, comprehensive skin protection must be worn, because these materials are very easily absorbed through the skin. The protective clothing must be changed at the proper intervals. Items of clothing which are contaminated with coating materials can easily catch fire. When selecting protective clothing, it must be taken into account that cloth containing a high proportion of easily melted plastic thread considerably increases the degree of burns injury (melted plastic on the skin!). This must also be taken into account in the choice of underwear. For areas of skin which are not covered by protective clothing, suitable skin protection, skin cleaning and skin care agents must be used. Eye protection Working with portable hand sanding machines on which the tools move unguarded, at speed and with power is fundamentally dangerous. Goggles must be worn not only when sanding, but also when working with paints and their additives. These contain substances which are harmful to the eyes. Damage ranging from irritation of the cornea to incurable illnesses are possible. The protective goggles must be inert toward splashes of solvent, and fully enclose the areas at the side of the eyes on both sides. The best protection during spray painting is offered by full mask respirators or helmet respirators with a built-in visor. Ear protection Noise disturbance in repair paint shops caused by various sources is particularly high. Sanding and compressed air machines, paint cabin extractor fans (compressors) and extractor ducts in the work rooms are the causes of the high levels of noise. WARNING: Avoid damage to your hearing! Wear ear protection. Suitable ear protection is offered by ear plugs or ear defenders.
