Respiratory protection – protection against aerosols, particles and pollutants 

Respiratory protection protects against aerosols, fine dust and particles – if selected correctly and fit correctly. Omniprotect offers filtering half masks (FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 according to EN 149), reusable half masks and full face masks with suitable filters for industry, trade, renovation and laboratories. Tested quality according to EN 149 and other standards.

Respiratory protection – protection against aerosols, particles and pollutants when used properly

Respiratory protection is an essential part of occupational safety. Many hazardous substances – such as particulate matter, aerosols or particles – are invisible and can cause long-term health damage if unprotected breathing. In order to achieve a protective effect, respirators must be chosen correctly, worn tightly and used appropriately for the respective load. Omniprotect offers respiratory protection solutions for simple, regular or complex tasks – from short-term craft assignments to demanding industrial activities.

Respiratory protection types at a glance – standard-tested & application-oriented

Filtering half masks (FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 according to EN 149)

These masks are made entirely of filter material and cover the mouth and nose. The retention capacity is based on EN 149:

• FFP1: ≥ 80 % retention capacity
• FFP2: ≥ 94% retention capacity
• FFP3: ≥ 99% retention

FFP masks are predominantly disposable products ("NR") and are suitable for:

• Construction & Crafts
• Industry & Production
• Remediation & Disposal
• Woodworking and metalworking

Masks with an exhalation valve reduce breathing resistance and are more comfortable during physical work. However, the protection of others is limited.

Half masks (reusable, with replaceable filters)

Half masks enclose the mouth, nose and chin. Depending on the filter used, they offer protection against:

• Particles
• Gases & Vapors
• Combinations of both types of protection

They are suitable for activities with changing pollutants or higher requirements for sealing and fit, for example in:

• Workshops
• Laboratories
• Renovation and cleaning work

Full face masks – comprehensive respiratory and face protection

Full face masks cover the entire face and additionally protect the eyes. The circumferential sealing lip ensures high protection for:

• High concentrations of pollutants
• Irritants or hazardous substances
• Activities with spray mist or fine aerosols

Important notes on function and limits of use

The protective effect of respiratory protection depends on:

• The filter class
• The tightness of the face
• The type of pollutants and concentration in the workplace
• Humidity, temperature and face shape

Only correctly fitted masks offer effective respiratory protection. Filters must be changed in good time:

• Particulate filter – when breathing resistance increases
• Gas filter – as soon as smell or taste is perceptible

Typical areas of application

• Industry & Production
• Crafts & Construction
• Remediation & Disposal
• Cleaning & maintenance work
• Laboratory & Chemistry as well as Wood & Metal Processing

The appropriate protection class should be selected in accordance with DGUV Rule 112-190.
