FFP type respiratory protection
To ensure the safety of workers in environments where personal protective equipment such as disposable respiratory protection masks are necessary, it is necessary to know some basic concepts to choose the most suitable ones.
FFP1
Masks that filter at least 78% of the particles in the air They are commonly used for protection against dust generated in working environments.
FFP2
With a filtration efficiency of at least 94% of the particles in the air. In addition to protecting against dust, this type of mask offers protection from solid and liquid aerosols as well as pathological agents such as viruses.
FFP3
Such masks filter at least 98% of the particles in the air. Their use is common in the health sector as they are used in circumstances where irrigation is high.
With and without exhalation valve
There are valveless self-filtering masks that only protect against particles, solid aerosols and liquids found in the environment.
In the case that we want protection against toxic gases or vapours in the Reysan Atlantic ® catalogue you can find protection masks against gases and vapours.
As for the self-filtering masks with valve, they offer greater comfort as they reduce the resistance in breathing and improve the accumulation of heat allowing the exhaled air to leave through the valve. Some of the masks you will find in this section have patented technology such as 3MTM valve masks. They are ideal for tasks where hot, humid conditions and long periods of use may occur.
Usability
Self-filtering masks should be discarded after use unless the manufacturer specifically states that they can be reused. This is usually specified by the acronym: NR (Non-Reusable, for a working day of 4 to 8 hours) and R (Reusable, according to supplier's indications).
In this section you can see different models of non-reusable masks with and without valve. In terms of reusable masks, we highlight Surey Protect's anti-viral and anti-bacterial mask with RUCO® BAG AGP technology which, in addition to offering great anti-bacterial protection, offers up to 60 washings without losing its filtering properties.
