Product catalog summary
Introduction
Composite materials, made of resin-impregnated fibers, are widely used in various industries such as aeronautics, automotive, and furniture. The processes involved in working with these materials, including polymerization and cutting, pose significant occupational risks due to chemical exposure and dust emissions.
Molding Techniques
1. Manual Application: Resin is applied manually using a roller or brush.
2. Convergent Jet Spray Application (FIT): Uses guns with two nozzles to limit aerosol formation.
3. Non-atomized Spray Application: Employs a low-pressure multi-jet nozzle to reduce fine aerosols.
4. Conventional Spray Application: Utilizes a high-pressure single nozzle, producing fine aerosols.
Risks and Safety Measures
Key risks include exposure to styrene during spraying, polymer dust during machining, and solvent handling during cleaning. Static electricity is also a concern, which can be mitigated with antistatic treatments.
Protective Gear
WeeSafe offers a range of protective coveralls designed to protect against aerosols, chemicals, and dust. Features include antistatic treatments, waterproof seams, and breathable materials for comfort. Specific products like WeePro Max Plus and WeeBack provide varying levels of protection and comfort.
Additional Considerations
Proper dressing and undressing procedures are crucial to avoid contamination. WeeSafe provides guidelines to ensure safe handling of protective gear.

Profession Sheet -  Composites industries-1

COMPOSITES INDUSTRIES Made of resin-impregnated fibers, composite materials are used in a variety of sectors, in particular in the aeronautic, nautical, automotive, railway and furniture industries as well as in swimming pool construction. Polymerization and cutting of composite materials are operations with significant occupational risks: chemical exposure to resin components, fiber dust (carbon, glass, etc.), aerosols and vapors of toxic organic compounds (styrene, acetone, etc.). All processes are subject to risk: molding, impregnation, machining, cleaning, preparation of mixtures, and waste storage. WeeSafe has designed a full range of protective coveralls against aerosols and liquid or solid particles projections. Material Machining The preparation of mixtures involves a risk of splashes of resin, catalysts and colbat salt.

Additional risks: static electricity discharge Static electricity can occur during the handling of weakly conductive products such as resins and glass fibers. Friction, contact, or separation produce static electricity that, if not removed by proper grounding, can spontaneously discharge while creating a high voltage spark. The WeePro and WeeBack ranges are coated with antistatic treatment on both sides of the coveralls.
