More about protection class FFP2:
- Protection against solid and liquid harmful dust types, fumes and aerosols
- The particles can be fibrogenic, which means that they irritate the respiratory system in the short term and can impair the elasticity of the lung tissue in the long term
- The total leakage must not exceed 11%
- Up to tenfold violation of occupational exposure limits
- Respiratory protective equipment in protection class FFP2 is intended for working environments where harmful and mutagenic particles can be found in the inhaled air. Respiratory protective equipment in this class must contain at least 94 % of particles measuring up to 0,6 μm and may be used in environments exceeding occupational exposure limits up to a maximum tenfold concentration. The same applies to technical reference concentrations. Respiratory protective equipment of protection class FFP2 is widely used in the metal and mining industries. People working in these industries are often in contact with aerosols, mist and smoke that lead to respiratory problems, such as lung cancer in the long term. In addition, they increase the risks of secondary diseases and active tuberculosis of the lungs. Our uvex carbon layer filter system also protects users from unpleasant odours.
