Disposable respirator masks are used when there may be harmful particulates in the atmosphere such as dust. They protect the wearer by filtering air before it can be breathed in through the nose and mouth. The protective equipment can be used with differently rated filters depending on the challenges of the environment. Disposable face masks are a common and effective solution to respiratory protection suitable for a variety of tasks, such as;

As part of the EN149:2001 standard it has designated into three ratings. FFP3 offers the highest protection compared to FFP2 and FFP1.

FFP1

This protects against low levels of dust, as well as solid and liquid aerosols. They filter at least 80% of the particles, with a maximum leakage amount of 25%. Used within the construction or food processing industry.

FFP2

This protects against moderate levels of dust, as well as solid and liquid aerosols. They provide higher protection than the FFP1. They filter at least 94% of the particles, with a maximum leakage amount of 11%. Used within the metal, medical and mining also the construction industry for plastering and sanding tasks.

FFP3

This protects against high levels of dust, as well as solid and liquid aerosols. They provide higher protection than the FFP1. They filter at least 99% of the particles, with a maximum leakage amount of 5%. Used within the medical and chemistry industry.
