Advice and Information
Respiratory - Eye Protection - Re-pointing

Hi there
I run a property services business in Taunton, Somerset. I often get
asked to re-point patios, walls etc...a horrible job which involves
using a grinder to remove mortar, this creates loads of fine dust
(cement) and other fine particles which fly fast towards the eyes.
I've tried several combinations of glasses, masks, googles...and can't
find a system that works without the googles, glasses steaming up, also particles getting in at the edges of goggles and into eyes.
So at the moment i can only protect my hearing and eyes (partially)...ideally i need a
full face visor of some kind which can protect against, fast flying
particles, eg little bits of stone, concrete. Is scratch resistant.
Does not fog up. Is resonably comfortable. And protects my lungs from
cement dust etc.
What would you recommend the SCOTT PROMASK or 3M 6000?...do u sell the 7000 full face? whats the difference between 6000 & 7000?
Thanks

Hi Aaron
There is a couple of combinations you can try the 3m 6000 will be sufficient with a P3 filter either the 6035 or the 2138 these are however sold in packs of 20's.
The other option would be the profile2 half face mask with a P3 filter 053070 as this is a low lying half face mask it will be easily paired with the V Maxx goggle 1006193 these are an anti scratch and anti fog goggle suitable for use against liquids , large dust particles , molten metal and hot solids.
I hope this helps
Kind regards
