Esko BreatheEasy P2 Flat Fold Particulate Valve Disposable Mask 10 pack

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.
