Working safely with polyester resin

When working with polyester resin, styrene vapour is released. This vapour is harmful to your health. It is therefore very important to work safely. We therefore recommend always working in a well-ventilated area and always wearing a suitable vapour mask. In addition, make sure you avoid skin contact. Always wear suitable gloves and work in covering clothes.

With the polyester safety pack you immediately have all the necessary protective equipment to work safely.
