FFP2 masks | respiratory protection from uvex

Protection from firm and fluid deleterious kinds of dust, smoke, and aerosols.

FFP2 respirators are suitable for smoke, particles and dusts that are noxious or harmful to health. They filter at least 94% of particles and can be used up to ten times the respective occupational exposure limit (OEL*).

These particles may be fibrogenic, which means they irritate the respiratory system in the short term and can result in reduction of elasticity of pulmonary tissue in the long run. The total leakage may amount to a maximum of 11%, MAK transgression to the tenfold value.

So that you can see the protection class at a glance, the marking is orange on uvex FFP2 masks.

*OELs = The occupational exposure limit values (OELs) are the average concentration of a substance in the air in the workplace, up to which no damage (chronic or acute) is to be expected if employees work there for eight hours a day for five days a week. The OELs replace the maximum workplace concentration (MWC) and the technical reference concentration (TRC) – however, as long as both of these values are not yet fully taken into account in the OELs, they can still be used on an interim basis for assessing risks in the workplace.
