As far as Imron goes, I had read in an airplane magazine that a fellow
had been painting his Christen Eagle in an open field with IMRON, and
apparently felt that being in the open air was precaution enough. He
was pronounced DOA at the hospital, due to catalyzed paint clogging his
lungs. A couple of years later, I had my El Camino painted with IMRON
by a professional spray company near where I lived. The spray booth
was a completely enclosed tent looking structure (one of those
crisscrossed by ropes) and had a positive air pressure setup. This
structure was outside, in the open air. When the man went in to
spray, he was dressed as if he was going on a moonwalk. Totally
covered, pressure mask, lines, air supply, etc. The booth had a
window, and I walked over to see what was going on inside.<br>
Another employee politely :suggested that I might prefer to look at the
goings-on from inside the office, (where nothing could be seen,
incidentally.)<br>
He stated: "we only insist on this procedure when IMRON is being
sprayed." That's when I decided that I really didn't want anything to
do with the stuff.<br>

<div>This is my understanding also....that there is no
canister-type mask that will protect you from isocyanates (i.e.,
acrylic urethane paints such as PPG Concept), and the only truely safe
way to use isocyanate-based paints is with a remote air supply.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is not just inhalation of vapors that is problematic, it is
also absorption through eyes and skin. Isocyanate-based paints are
dangerous and some folks can have very bad reactions to trace amounts
of isocyanates. Err on the side of caution.</div>

<div>Clay: What model 3M mask/filter is safe (as stated by 3M)
for use with isocyanates? My experience has been Dupont states that a
self contained or supplied fresh air system is the only safe way to
spray their isocyanate based paints. </div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I sell Dupont brand out of my
parts store. A word about the 3m Masks. They are widely and almost
exclusively used by all the professional painters in my area. One
thing you <strong>DO</strong> want to do when storing the mask in the
re-sealable package <font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><strong>along
with cleaning them thouroughly is to remove and dispose of the canister
pre-filters. </strong>If you do not, the canister will deteriorate
just has if a painter would use them everyday. New pre-filters are
available from anyone selling the masks.</font></font></div>
