Memo To: Contractors, Distributors, & Manufacturing Partners From: Installed Product SupportDate: 4/14/2020Subject: Spraying Intumescent Coatings & Equivalent N95 Particulate RespiratorsSafety and personal protection are our top priority. When spray-applying a No-Burn® intumescent coating, a filtering facepiece (N, R or P disposable particulate respirator1) is recommended. The safety of those on the frontlines and supply shortages requires additional particulate respirator recommendations. A half-mask respirator with N95 equivalent filters is now recommended, such as a half-mask respirator with cartridge and appropriate, N95 equivalent filter (CDC – 84A Particulate Filter Respirators). To find an N95 equivalent filtering facepiece, search CDC-NIOSH Certified Equipment List.
