RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection
Disposable Masks
Disposable respirators cover nose,
mouth and part of the chin. Some of
them contain exhaling valves. Disposable
masks are fabricated from filter tissues
and available with or without exhalation
valve. An elastic band around the head
and neck keeps them in place. They are
intended for unique or limited use.
Reusable Full Face Masks
Full face masks protect against gases
and dust, including toxic gases, fumes
and dust particles. It is clear that
irritating compounds require full masks.
The right filter cartridge needs to be
selected and are classified according
to their specific application range. The
filter cartridges are screwed onto the full
mask which is covering the whole face.
Reusable Half Masks
Half masks protect against gases and
dust, including toxic gases, fumes and
dust particles. The right filter cartridge
needs to be selected and are classified
according to their specific application
range. The filter cartridges are screwed
onto the half mask which is covering the
respiratory organs.
General Information
Respiratory protective equipment are used in many workplaces to protect workers when working with hazardous substances,
such as gases, solvents, powdered chemicals and sprays. Each specific hazard must have the proper respirator that provides
protection for that hazard. Proper fitting of respiratory equipment and the wearing of equipment as it was intended is equally
important.
Condor personal protective equipment offers you a wide range of quality respiratory protection gear to
meet or exceed relevant CE safety standards.
