Respirators & Masks

Breathe Easy with Professional Respiratory Protection for Painting & Decorating

When painting, sanding, or spraying, clean air isn’t optional — it’s essential. At Paintlab, we provide high-performance respiratory protection designed to keep you safe from dust, fumes, and vapours. Our expert-curated selection includes disposable masks, half-mask respirators, and full-face systems, all compliant with Irish and EU safety standards.

Perfect for decorators, automotive painters, and anyone working with solvents, fillers, or spray coatings.

Find the Right Level of Respiratory Protection: Painters Mask & PPE for Painting

Choosing the correct setup depends on the job and the materials you use. Below is a quick guide to help you find what fits your needs best.

Disposable Dust Masks – Everyday Particulate Protection

These lightweight options protect against non-toxic dust and fine debris. Perfect during prep or sanding, an FFP2 / FFP3 or N95 mask keeps dust from plaster, wood, or filler out of your lungs.

Reusable Half-Mask Respirators – Reliable Everyday Defence

This is the go-to painting respirator for most professionals. It forms a tight seal around the nose and mouth and uses interchangeable filters matched to your hazard:

• P3 filters – trap fine mist and aerosol particles during spray painting.

• A1 / A2 cartridges – neutralise solvent vapours and organic fumes.

• A2P3 combined filters – ideal for mixed environments with both gases and particles.

Full-Face Systems – Total Coverage and Eye Protection

A full-face respirator offers the highest level of safety, shielding your lungs, eyes, and skin from splashes or irritating fumes. It’s the professional choice when working with 2K (isocyanate) coatings or during chemical stripping.

Combine with Painters Gloves and Spray Painting Tools for a complete protective setup.

Powered & Air-Fed Systems – Maximum Comfort and Safety

For long sessions or users with facial hair, a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) delivers a steady stream of filtered air and eliminates the need for a tight face seal. It’s perfect for those working continuously with high-fume materials or solvent-heavy environments.

High-Risk Paint Protection: 2K Paint Respirators, Spray Paint Masks & Organic Fume Protection Equipment

1. 2K / Isocyanate Paints: Use a PAPR unit or A2P3-rated respirator for limited-time exposure.

2. Lead Paint Removal: Use a P3 or P100 particulate filter and avoid generating airborne dust whenever possible.

3. Spray Painting: Always select a combined A2P3 filter to block both fumes and fine overspray.

4. Solvent Work: An A-rated vapour cartridge mask ensures safety when handling thinners or epoxy products.
