Description

P2 Respirators are superior to the common blue face mask. They are designed to protect users against mechanically and thermally generated particles such as toxic dust, mists, and fumes. Uses include:

  • Medical
  • Sanding
  • Drilling
  • Sawing
  • Sweeping
  • Welding
  • Grinding
  • Fibreglass production
  • Asbestos removal 

Description

  • Latex-free dual straps
  • Valve to assist breathing by expelling hot air - masks clog up with exposure to oarticles and moisture
  • AS/NZS 1716:2012 certified
  • Lightweight and comfortable fit
  • Adjustable nose bar 

N95 and the P2 respirators are essentially the same type of half-face particulate respirators, which serve the same purpose. These respiratory protective devices are intended to protect the wearer from airborne contaminants.

P2 and N95 masks must have a good facial fit to be effective. Workers must be trained in how to fit, use and dispose of P2 and N95 masks. The mask should be sealed over the bridge of the nose and mouth, and there should be no gaps between the mask and face. Men should be clean shaven to get a good seal. For COVID-19, P2/N95 masks should only be used in health care settings in certain circumstances

How long can I wear the mask? The mask should be disposed of after four hours of continuous wear or when it becomes moist. Masks should be replaced after each use. For high particle exposures, the mask will load up with particles and become harder to breathe through.

Victoria Health advises:

Is there anyone who shouldn’t wear a P2 or N95 mask?

Anyone with a pre-existing heart or lung condition should try to seek medical advice before using a face mask.

These masks are not designed for children
