Disposable Masks
Selecting a disposable mask depends on the type of particles to filter and the work environment. A dust mask, for example, does not protect against organic vapors, and disposable masks are not suitable for environments with less than 19% oxygen. Proper fit is crucial for effective protection, which is why we offer a seal test service. When done correctly, a respirator can filter concentrations up to 10 times the limit set by CNESST or other regulatory agencies. Each contaminant has an exposure limit that should never be exceeded.
Respirator designations indicate resistance to oily particles:
- N: not resistant
- R: resistant (up to 8 hours)
- P: resistant for the mask’s lifespan
The numbers 95 or 100 represent filtration efficiency at 0.3 microns for example, an N95 captures 95% of airborne particles and does not resist oily substances. Some models have exhalation valves to reduce fogging when worn with safety glasses. Others, like the R9211, are foldable for easy storage between uses.
