Oxalic vapours

[paul4848]

About to use instantvap and want a respirator which is decent and good value and is reusable each year. Is there anybody that can recommend a cheap priced version that they use?

The filters will need to be replaced, certainly each year.

Yes happy to replace the filters… i just wanted ideas as to which respirator would be worthwhile

I would recommend to go for a decent brands. I am using half a mask 3m 7503 and a safety googles. You then need to buy the filters separately. Check the guidance on 3m website but I think I used 3M 6059 and a set of particulate filters. I know some beeks finds that the risk of OA vapors is exaggerated but I better be over protected than sorry. You only get one set of lungs
