Product catalog summary
Overview of Paint Categories:
The paint industry is divided into three main categories: water-based, powder, and solvent-based paints. Solvent-based paints are the most hazardous to health and account for nearly half of industrial applications. Proper protective clothing is essential, especially when using solvent-based paints in non-ventilated areas.
Protective Clothing Requirements:
For solvent-based paint applications, Category 3 Type 4 PPE is required as per EN14605 standards. This includes mist-proof clothing with sealed seams to protect against liquid aerosols and powder sprays.
Composition and Risks of Paint Types:
  • Water-based Paints: Composed of 60-80% water with minimal solvents. Risks include aerosol exposure during spray applications.
  • Powder Paints: Consist of 60% binders, 35% pigments, and 5% adjuvants. Risks include explosive hazards during application and maintenance.
  • Solvent-based Paints: Contain binders, pigments, fillers, and additives. Risks include aerosol exposure and explosive hazards.
Additional Risks:
Static electricity discharge poses a significant explosion risk. Proper grounding is necessary to prevent high voltage sparks. Protective clothing like WeePro and WeeBack ranges are treated with antistatic coatings to mitigate these risks.
WeePro Max Plus Coverall Features:
  • Category 3, Type 4-5-6 protection
  • Antistatic treatment on both sides
  • Waterproof seams and self-adhesive flaps
  • Three-panel hood for optimal mask fit
  • Elasticized thumb loop for glove adjustment
  • Low particle release
Sector-Specific Risks:
  • Water-based Paints: Body painting, consumer painting, construction paint.
  • Powder and Solvent-based Paints: Industrial painting, marine painting, anticorrosive paint.
Undressing Procedure:
Proper undressing is crucial to avoid contamination. Users should follow strict procedures to prevent contact with the outer surface of the protective coverall.
Product Variants:
  • WeeBack: Provides protection against solvent-based aerosols with a breathable back panel.
  • WeePro: Offers protection against water-based paint splashes with knitted cuffs for comfort.

PAINT INDUSTRY The paint industry comprises 3 categories: water-based paint, powder paint, and solvent-based paint. The latter is the most dangerous for health and still represents nearly half of all industrial applications. It is critical to select your short-term protective clothing depending on the amount of paint used,the method of application, and the work space, whether it is ventilated or not. The spray application of a solvent-based paint requires Category 3 Type 4 PPE according to EN14605: Mist-proof clothing. Our protective solutions offer sealed seams against liquid aerosols and powder sprays. DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF INDUSTRIAL PAINTS Main risks Even if the solvents are in limited Powder application using aerosols, Aerosol application of numbers, the application by gun maintenance operations, switching solventbased paint.

ADDITIONAL RISKS: STATIC ELECTRICITY DISCHARGE Solvents also have a high risk of explosions. Friction, contact or separation produce static electricity which, 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. The antistatic treatment on the outer surface of the protective clothing prevents powder and other projections from sticking to the suit.
