What mask for TPE fumes?

Post by Mr_Fix_it »

Does anyone know if OVP95 suitable for paint and pesticides is sufficient for the fumes from melting TPE?

Thanks,

Fix.

I would not recommend it myself.

The minimum would be something like

with a gas cartridge filter

The preference application would be to have forced supplied air using the attachment.

Ideally a full face positivre presssure respirator would be best,but you need to ensure forced ventilation and fume extraction capability at the work site.

Outdoors is even better, with a minimum of the above respirator.

Thanks Anung, Some good info there! I've been looking at some TPE MSDS's and found this, not all TPE MSDS's report the same but these ones are quite common among them.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
: carbon monoxide and dioxide, methane, propane, acrolein, acids,
ketones, and aldehydes may be evolved during thermal degradation.

3M makes many different cartridges, now I just need to find the right one.

Absolutely, they have a cartridge recommend application chart, so if you got the SDS, and they listed by-products for a thermal exposure application, just find the one that ticks all the boxes.

My preference would still be a positive vent supplied mask, and outdoors if you can do it there, if not forced and extracted ventilation to the work site in addition to PPe.

Remember, PPE is the last and lowest level of the risk management pyramid.

You need adequate ventilation. Ideally being outdoors.

Well Anung, You are right on the money! when I put the contaminants into the selector this is what it shot out: 3M does not have an appropriate filter for one or more of your contaminants. Supplied air respirators may be appropriate to help reduce exposure depending on the protection factor of the respirator chosen. Please see the supplied air respirators below.
Thanks samara78, I have a work shop with decent ventilation, (I built it for welding and such) but I do want the mask protection also, So I'll be getting a supplied air system.

Thanks again guys.

Thanks Pal, good to see that a Masters in Engineering and 30 years experience in the industry as an Engineer have at least taught me something :lol:

Cheers, and glad I could assist with sound and correct professional advice. So...I hope the TPE Doll Factories also take note for their employees health as well :whistle: (HINT :whistle: subtle NOT) :wink: So now that you ALL know better....what is wrong here.....

Looks perfectly safe 8O NOT!

This is no way to really reduce the fumes. Because it should add SEBS in raw TPE meterial, which is the source of fumes.

Jaden, I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at here. Weather or not Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene is added to the raw tpe, melting or "welding" it still produces "HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS" (toxic fumes or gasses). And that along with some mitigation solutions is what we are discussing here.
