ESKO BREATHE EASY P2 FLAT FOLD PARTICULATE VALVED MASK | 10 PACK These Particulate Respirators provide comfortable, effective respiratory protection for use in industries where workers will be exposed to dust particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles. Suitable for relatively small particles generated by mechanical processes eg. grinding, cutting, sanding, drilling, sawing. Sub-micron thermally generated particles e.g. welding fumes, fertilizer and bushfire smoke. Biologically active airborne particles under specified infection control applications e.g. viruses, bacteria. P2 rating for protection against mechanically and thermally generated particles Foldable for added convenience Exhalation valve for extra air flow Larger breathing chamber reduces breathing resistance Individually packaged Colour-coded packaging for ease of identification Dual straps give firm and comfortable fit Uses: Sanding, grinding, drilling, sawing of timber or masonry Legionnaires disease protection Paint preparation Plasterboard fixing and stopping Agricultural dust from grain harvesting, potting mix, pollen, hay, feathers, animal feed Insulation installation Packing, warehousing Vehicle repair Welding (not galvanised or aluminium) Food processing Mining Construction What is a P2 Rating? P2 is a respiratory filter rating under the AS/NZS1716 standards for use in Australia and New Zealand. Protects against mechanically and thermally generated particles. Filtration rate: Filters at least 94% of airborne particles Suitable for: Relatively small particles generated by mechanical processes eg. grinding, cutting, sanding, drilling & sawing Sub-micron thermally generated particles e.g. metal & welding fumes, fertilizer and bushfire smoke, diesel exhaust & smoke and acid gases Biologically active airborne particles under specified infection control applications e.g. viruses, bacteria, COVID-19, SARS, bioaerosols & fungus Often distinguished with blue head straps What is the function of valves on disposable respirators? P1 and P2 respirators are available with a valve, either on the front or side. The purpose of respirator valves is to make exhaling (i.e. breathing out) easier, and reducing fogging to glasses and other eye/face protective devices causes by warm breath releasing from the sides of respirator. These valves are one way, allowing air to escape only when exhaling. This valve does not increase or reduce the filtration rating of a respirator. For example, a P2 mask with a valve does not offer higher protection than a P2 mask without a valve. Click here to view the Esko BreatheEasy P2 Flat Fold Valved Respirator Mask Technical Data Sheet
