i have a respirator but apparently there's no "filter" for them. so, how would a home painter deal with this stuff? id rather not grow an extra few lumps,tentacles, etc...

ps- the paint is eastwoods ceramic chassis paint. in satin.

help?

The only other option you have besides "filter" is "ventilate"

Ventilate the **** out of your booth, and you'll stay tentacle free. :-)

I always thought the 3m paint respirator was good for them. If not then I'm in deep **** after painting for years.

every filter ive seen makes it known well that it cannot filter out Isocynates

im under the impression that there is no filter that works with isoscynates

You're fine as long as you've used a filter cartridge that filters organic gases as well as particulates.

3M Paint respirator cartridges filters have an activated carbon bed that removes any organic vapors such as isocyanates.

An example of a cartridge that will filter out organic vapors is 3M Organic Vapor/High Efficiency Cartridge GVP-441/07196

OP - look for a respirator filter that can remove organic vapors as you can select which type of gases that you want to filter, filters will not specify a particular gas that it will remove.

To have more protection from particulates select a P100 filter as it is 99.97% efficient for 300 nanometer particles.

To the folks that would like a "safe at home" mask and filter check out one of these masks: http://www.northernsafety.com/safety...-air-purifying

and choose this filter:

I use this filter with both a half face and full face mask every day at my work. I work with a lot of different organic solvents as well as acidic vapors.

Good Luck.

I am fairly certain only fresh air systems are safe. No charcoal mask protects from isos. You are not even supposed to paint without a proper suit because isos go through regular clothes.
