Health Hazards of
Powder Coating Materials
All chemical manufacturers, according to the OSHA, must
evaluate chemicals produced and determine if they are hazardous based on:
- Carcinogens
- Toxins
- Irritants
- Danger to human organs
- Flammability
- Explosiveness
- Reactivity
This information is available to workers in the material
safety data sheets (MSDS).

Protection: What mask should I wear?
For small particles (powders), legally the Threshold Limit
Value (TLV) of occupational exposure is 10mg/m3. In regards to the
TLV, below is a list of the masks that should be worn for specific exposures.
- Outside of a spray enclosure: disposable dust mask
- TLV higher than 10mg/m3: half mask with cartridge filter
- Fully inside of spray enclosure (high powder concentration): full-face mask
Personal Safety
Here are a few reminders to keep you safe during the powder
coating process:
- Use coating and protective eyewear to limit eye and skin exposure
- Do not wear gloves unless they are specially designed for electrostatic application
- Make sure all equipment is in proper working order
- Hold the spray gun in its proper position to ensure grounding
- Do not blow powder off of the skin using compressed air (it can force abrasive particles into skin and eyes)
- Practice good housekeeping to reduce accumulation of powder in the area and personal exposure
