Frequently Asked Questions
What are CBRN masks?
CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) masks protect workers from hazardous materials, like chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear particles or agents. The filter or cartridge of these masks removes or neutralises harmful materials from the air.
What is a tactical gas mask?
A tactical gas mask (also called a military gas mask) is designed specifically for military and law enforcement personnel in tactical or combat situations. These masks are more durable and resilient than civilian gas masks and withstand the rigours of combat and other demanding conditions.
What are the benefits of half-mask respirators?
Half-mask respirators (also known as half-face respirators) are useful for workers exposed to harmful dust, fumes, vapours or gases. They are commonly used in the construction, manufacturing and other industries where workers may be exposed to hazardous materials, such as pesticides, paint fumes and chemical spills. They can also be used in medical and laboratory settings where workers deal with biological agents daily.
What is the difference between gas masks and face respirators?
The main difference between the two is that a gas mask covers the entire face and protects against a wide range of hazardous materials, while a respirator covers only the nose & mouth and protects against dust or fumes.
