Product catalog summary
Introduction
Wood workers are exposed to hazardous chemicals found in wood treatment products, paint removers, binders, adhesives, varnishes, and paints. WeeSafe offers a range of protective coveralls designed to protect against hazardous dust and liquid splashes.

Machining
Sawing and sanding operations produce fine dust, which is harmful upon skin contact. The danger level varies with wood species, including hardwoods, conifers, and exotic woods. Treated wood may contain chemicals like formaldehyde.

Assembling, Finishing, and Treating Wood
Workers handle chemical and impregnation products, applying them with brushes, sprays, or by dipping. Common chemicals include epoxy resins, acetone, rosin, aminoplast resin, isocyanate formaldehyde, and dichloromethane. Preventive or curative treatments involve solvents, insecticides, fungicides, and creosotes.

Protective Clothing
WeeCover / WeeCover Blue: Hooded coveralls for hazardous wood dust, featuring antistatic treatment, a self-adhesive flap, and breathable material. Available in sizes M to XXXL.
WeePro: Offers protection against fine wood dust and low concentration chemicals, with a self-adhesive flap and breathable material. Available in sizes M to XXXL.
WeePro Max Plus: Designed for protection against sprays and low concentration chemicals, featuring tight seams and a self-adhesive flap. Available in sizes M to XXL.

Best Practices
Proper dressing and undressing procedures are crucial to avoid contamination. The coverall should fit closely at the hood, wrists, and ankles. A strict undressing procedure must be followed to prevent contact with the contaminated outer surface.

Conclusion
WeeSafe provides protective clothing solutions tailored for the wood industry, ensuring safety and comfort for workers handling hazardous materials.
