Models of dust masks

In the field of maintenance free dust masks we know the cup model and the folding model, both available with or without exhalation valve. An valve reduces the exhalation resistance and is therefore often perceived as a more more comfortable dust mask.
Dust masks with a folding model are easy carry in work clothes, for example, and have a perfect compact fit and thus combine well with other PPE such as grinding hoods.

Qualities and standards

All of our dust masks comply with the EN 149:2001 standard. Besides the regular grades of FFP1, FFP2, and FFP3, some dust masks are also equipped with a carbon layer to protect against ozone and metal fumes.
Full-face masks are equipped with integrated respiratory and eye protection. If you prefer separate eye protection, the 3M half mask designed so that it can be used in combination with 3M wide-view and safety glasses, welding hoods and visors. The half-face and full-face masks feature a host of gadgets to ensure a comfortable fit in a wide range of applications guarantee. The bayonet closure guarantees easy change of the filters.
