RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

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.

TYPES OF 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.
