• it must resist shocks
• it must resist cleaning and disinfectant products
• It must resist flame
• he must display breathing resistance

Which mask to choose?

It aims to improve the quality of the air breathed by the worker in the work space where he works. On this type of mask you will find a filter which will have the role of retaining dust, gas, fog or other, in order to purify the air breathed by the employee. This type of mask can be further divided into two categories, namely devices without mechanical assistance and those with assisted ventilation.

The first is equipped with a single filter and is used for short-term work. Some masks are single-use and others have washable filters which can therefore be reused.

The assisted ventilation model is equipped with a fan which allows to increase the air flow, while filtering pollutants.

If you are looking for a way to protect yourself from exposure, FFP1 masks are an option. They offer excellent protection against dust and fine particles. Second class models FFP2, or "filtering facepiece", are part of the range of respiratory protection masks. This self-cleaning equipment filters 94% of airborne droplets and particles with a maximum inward leak rate of 8%. Disposable masks FFP3 are an essential part of respiratory protection, which encompasses the user's nose and mouth. They offer better safety conditions than FFP2 and FFP3 by protecting you from harmful particles that could cause illness or injury if inhaled.

In addition, the FPP1 models protect up to 4.5 times the average exposure value (MEV). Finally, they must not be used against substances considered carcinogenic, radioactive, aerobiological as well as enzymes. For this, certain materials such as cotton, graphite, sodium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, kaolin, cement, cellulose, or even hay should be avoided.

How to put on an FFP1 mask?
