Paint is toXic! Use Spray Goggles For Paint Overspray Protection

Paint Overspray Eyewear Market.

Please allow me to introduce you to the “Paint Overspray Eyewear Market.”  This market may be very misunderstood.   Spray painting is a process that produces paint mist from the jet of the spray gun. Spray painting is universally used in industrial fabrication, such as automotive production; the furniture industry; and in painting ships, aircraft, building structures and machinery; as well as in the residential and commercial construction industries. However, the drawback to spray painting is the out-of-control overspray paint mist from the spray gun.  How is the market defined?

The “Paint Overspray Eyewear Market” Criteria:

1. Blocks overspray from the painters’ eyes.
2. Does not fog-up while in use.
3. Does not require the painter to stop spraying to maintain clear vision.
4. Can be used with a respirator.
5. Requires little or no maintenance during use.
6. Enables direction continuous clear vision while spraying

OSHA guidelines advises painters to use personal protective equipment (PPE) which includes: 

Personal protective eyewear, such as safety goggles, face shields, safety glasses or full-face respirators are what’s generally available to the painter.  These safety protectors are primarily designed to protect the eyes from projectiles; however, they are not user friendly in the “Paint Overspray Market.”  

Painters don’t want to use safety protective eyewear for spray painting because it requires constant stopping to put down the spray gun to clean off paint from the eyewear so that clear vision can be retained.  Continuous clear vision is paramount to a spray painter. For this reason, most spray painters will not use eye protection that creates frustration.

In an industry where 80% of all spray painters use nothing at all to protect their eyes from the chemicals and toxins in paint overspray, ProBlocker works to solve the problem without the frustration of stopping to clean, peel, or manipulate the eyewear!  

Problocker’s NINJA™ spray goggles offers a solution for the painting contractor who wants an eyewear that lets his spray painter “spray 60 minutes an hour” without putting his spray-gun down to fiddle with the eyewear, as well as the spray painter who wants an eyewear that he can “just put it on and spray till the job is done.”

TEN PAINTING FACTS & A COLORFUL JOKE OR TWO

10. The use of paint has been linked all the way back to the first century. The first place on record to use it is in China. Archeologists have also unearthed evidence of paint in ancient palaces built around this same timeframe. They figure ancient craftsmen applied ground pigments such as ochre to wet plastered walls to “paint” those interior surfaces!

9. Paint colors can affect your mood. Cool tones invoke feelings of calm, peace and happiness. Warmer tones can provoke feelings of anger or energy.

8. The surface coverage of a gallon varies between 25 and 44 square yard depending on the color of the paint.

7. More than 1.57 billion gallons of paint are sold in the United States each year.

6. Roughly 65 gallons of paint are discarded in the United States each year.
5. The Golden Gate Bridge has been the same color since it was erected. That color is called International Orange.

4. In the United States, lead-based paint was banned for use in residential paints in 1978, but many other countries banned it prior to 1920.

3. It takes 570 gallons of paint to cover the exterior of the White House in Washington D.C.

2. Latex paint is recyclable, but oil-based paints are considered hazardous waste and should be disposed of by a qualified waste management organization. All paint should be properly eliminated to avoid contamination of public utilities.

1. The first known residential paint application of any kind are cave drawings.

On the lighter side....#1
A blonde canvassed a wealthy neighborhood looking for odd jobs. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had anything for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
"How about $50?"
The man agreed and told her the paint was in the garage. A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked.
"Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

Don't you love it when people in school are like, 'I'm a bad test taker.' You mean you're stupid. Oh, you struggle with that part where we find out what you know? I can totally relate see, because I'm a brilliant painter minus my god awful brushstrokes. Oh, how the masterpiece is crystal up here but once paint hits canvas I develop Parkinson's.

A Professional Painters Eyewear from Hawa-eye-i

Since we were spraying paint, we thought it was a great time to break out the Ninja Spray Goggles from our Hawaiian friends at Problocker, Inc.  Problocker has been advertising with us (The Paint Dealer) for the last few months, but this was the first opportunity we had to put its goggles to the test.  Designed to keep the overspray from getting into your eyes, you would be hard pressed to find a better product to accomplish these results.

Two of our three painters wore eye glasses while painting.  Since they do a lot of spraying on the job, I asked them what they do about paint that gets on their glasses.  They said they have to replace their glasses three to four times a year because the lenses get so scratched up from trying to clean them frequently.  That is a lot of money they are spending on new glasses, so the Ninja Spray Goggles were of great interest to them!

Rick, who was doing the spraying himself, was the guinea pig, and he was very pleased with the results at the end of his spray days.  A heck of a lot paint made its way onto his lenses, which means a lot less cleaning and scratching - but it also meant he was able to see clearly for a lot longer while painting and he did not have to power down to clear the paint from his eyes or glasses.  Saving time and money is what pro painters are trying to do on the job.

DOES GETTING PAINT IN YOUR EYE FRUSTRATE YOU?

It's an easy yes or no answer!

But if you answered, "no" your not a spray-man or you're a blind spray-man!
I just read a painter's I hate list on paint talk,
"I hate when I get paint in my eye .... ''un paintoro in me ojo''
"I hate when I drop a screw for a plate and I never see it again"
"I hate noticing every other painters mistakes 24 hrs a day 7 days a week" 

It's not a good idea to spray without any eye protection.  You should use eye protection to keep paint out of your eyes.  Any spray-man's eyes will become irritated, started to sting, and became very red if they are unprotected.  Through-out my career I've used safety glasses, however, I would eventually have to stop working and clean off the paint to see what I was doing.

I have never used anything like the Ninja high performance spray goggles before!

I like the lenses because you can spray for hours and still see without having to clean anything until your done.  The Ninja is also so lightweight, it didn't create any uncomfortable pressure - I actually forgot I had them on.

You should use eye protection to keep paint out of your eyes. If you want to keep paint overspray out of your eyes and still be productive, get the Ninja!"

Painter need to wear eye protection, yet rarely do.

Painter need to wear eye protection, yet rarely do.  

That's because safety glasses and other gear protect their eyes from overspray, but the paint soon covers the glass and blocks their sight.  Repeatedly cleaning the glasses takes a lot of time and decreases the painters production.  

The spray goggles consist of a sleek plastic frame with an open viewing slit in the center of each lens. By sealing the air space around the eyes, the goggles create a pocket of dead air that acts as a barrier to block paint particles from entering. Paint lands on the rest of the goggles and elsewhere, but doesn’t block the slits, so painters can see even in the midst of overspray.

Where can I purchase the product? At the present time, the product was about to hit shelves in Sherwin-Williams stores around the island or you can also purchase direct at: www.problocker.com  Price is $19.95 for a package of three. 
What are professional painters saying about this product?  Tony Kokata-Tabar a professional with Jade Painting Inc said, “Before I used the Ninja goggles I thought they would be a nuisance.  After using them twice, I would not spray anything interior or exterior without the Ninja goggles.”

A Modern Overspray Solution for a Timeless Painters Problem

A Modern Overspray Solution for a Timeless Painters Problem 

The original article was written by Catherine Lee & Hawaii Business released the following article about Problocker’s Slit Eyewear & the Ninja High Performance Spray Goggles. 

What's the problem:

Professional painters & spraymen need to wear eye protection, but rarely do. 

Why? 

That’s because safety glasses and other eywear in the industry protect their eyes from overspray, but the paint soon covers the glass and blocks their sight. Repeatedly cleaning the glasses takes a lot of time and decreases the painters production.

With more than 45 years of experience in the painting industry Kendell Kikuyama says, “Painters cover themselves from head to toe. They wear gloves, long pants, long-sleeve shirts, they wear respirators. But the one place they don’t cover is their eyes.  They’ve tried just about everything on the market and most choose to use nothing at all.”

What's the possible solution:

Just over three years ago, Mr. Kikuyama started developing the concept he had been dream about for years. This summer he unveiled the patent-pending ProBlocker Slit Eyewear & the Ninja High Performance Spray Goggles, that guard the eyes while allowing the painter to see through small slits that don’t allow paint inside.

The spray goggles consist of a sleek plastic frame with an open viewing slit in the center of each lens. By sealing the air space around the eyes, the goggles create a pocket of dead air that acts as a barrier to block paint particles from entering. Paint lands on the rest of the goggles and elsewhere, but doesn’t block the slits, so painters can see even in the midst of overspray.

Where can I purchase the product:

At press time, the product was about to hit shelves in Sherwin-Williams stores around the island and online at www.problocker.com

How much does it cost & what do I get:

Price is $19.95 for a package of three. 

What are others saying about this innovative product:

Already, a few painting companies have started using them.

Jeremy Duarte, field superintendent with M Shiroma Painting in Kapolei says, "painters hardly ever wear eye protection because there hasn’t been anything on the market that’s efficient and reliable." He picked up 10 pairs for his painters to try.

“These work a lot better than the other stuff out there,” Duarte says. “It’s definitely something we’d buy."

This innovative product that offers a solution to the spraymens frustration.
