I couldn't not use a mask at all... It's a very strong smell.

I never used to wear anything while laminating, until I discovered that styrene is cochleotoxic, meaning it causes hearing damage.
Regular organic vapour cartridges do the trick.

Depends what you are doing. For most things, a standard respirator with organic vapour cartridges is perfect. Isocyanates arw what cause issues and need special consideration, so if you are spraying 2k polyurethanes then there simply is no cartridge respirator that is sufficient. These require an air-fed mask.

Hi, just question about what respiratory masks do you use? I use a moldex mask with a2 filters.
I just worry this isn't enough and might cause long term problems?
Thanks
