Protective equipment

With the right protective equipment (PPE), teams in painting and coating areas work safely, with low particle emission and reproducible results. The portfolio includes respiratory protection (half-/full-face masks, powered air systems, filters), safety glasses/visors, disposable & chemical protection gloves, spray suits/coveralls (silicone-/lint-free), overshoes/sleeves, hearing protection as well as skin protection & dispenser systems. We provide advice on standards/filter classes, materials, sizes, hygiene and documentation.

Use & benefits

In automotive, industry, plastics, wood as well as body & paint, matched PPE reduces exposure, prevents contamination (e.g. silicone/fibres) and stabilises approvals and surface quality. With suitable protection classes, antistatic properties, sizes/cut and hygiene concepts, safety, comfort and cycle times remain in balance.

Tasks & set configuration

We configure PPE sets for each work zone (preparation, painting, finishing) according to hazardous substance, process and wearing profile. Filter classes (e.g. P2/P3, A), glove materials (EN 374), eye protection (EN 166), protective clothing (EN 1149/EN 13034 Type 6) as well as hygiene/replacement cycles are defined; issue, inspection and disposal are documented via PDF/CSV export and QR labels.

Product areas & integration

The range includes respiratory protection (masks, powered air systems, filters), safety glasses/visors, disposable/chemical protection gloves, spray suits/coveralls (silicone-/lint-free, antistatic), overshoes/sleeves, hearing protection as well as skin protection & dispenser systems. All solutions are designed for protective performance, comfort, process reliability and audits – with clean integration into QA/safety workflows.

For complete workstations we define PPE bundles with size matrices, replacement/cleaning guidelines, labelling and checklists. We consolidate bills of materials, define minimum stock levels and integrate the supply into audit processes – for stable quality and reliable documentation along the value chain.

Frequently asked questions about protective equipment

Which protective equipment is part of the painting process?

Typical items are respiratory protection (half-/full-face masks, powered air systems, filters), safety glasses/visors, disposable & chemical protection gloves, spray suits/coveralls (silicone- & lint-free), overshoes/sleeves, hearing protection as well as skin protection and dispenser systems.

How do I choose protection class, size and material?

Use hazardous substances and process steps as your guide: filter classes according to EN 143/149 (e.g. P2/P3, A), gloves according to EN 374, eye protection according to EN 166, clothing according to EN 1149/EN 13034 Type 6. Pay attention to silicone-/lint-free materials, antistatic properties, breathability and the right size/hood option.

How do I keep PPE hygienic and audit-ready documented?

Define hygiene concepts with washing/replacement intervals, fit-/functional checks and approvals. Document product/size, lot/batch number, area of use and date; use labels/QR codes for allocation and PDF/CSV exports for audit-proof archiving.
