Product catalog summary
Specifications and Standards: The document outlines the specifications for uvex respirators, which comply with the European standard EN149:2001+A1:2009. These respirators are designed for high-risk environments (PPE category III) and provide protection against particles, with additional testing for dolomite dust, marked with 'D'.
Protection Classes: Respirators are categorized into three classes: FFP1 (filters at least 80% of particles), FFP2 (filters at least 94%), and FFP3 (filters at least 99%). Each class is suitable for different levels of environmental toxicity.
Key Tests: The standard includes tests for inhalation and exhalation resistance, exhalation valve functionality, visual inspection, and filtering efficiency. The dolomite dust test is optional but included in uvex masks.
Product Selection: The uvex Respiratory Expert System helps select appropriate respirators based on work conditions and hazardous substances, ensuring compatibility with other PPE like safety spectacles.
Usage Guidelines: Masks marked 'NR' are for single use up to eight hours, while 'R' masks can be used up to 24 hours with cleaning. Proper fit is crucial, and masks are not suitable for individuals with facial hair or scars near sealing lines.
Product Features: uvex respirators feature a contour-optimized design for comfort and fit, available in various sizes. They include sealing lips, adjustable nose clips, and optional exhalation valves to reduce heat and humidity.
Application Areas: Guidance is provided for selecting respirators for specific activities and substances, such as wood processing, construction, welding, and medical waste disposal, with corresponding protection classes.
Conclusion: uvex respirators are designed for optimal protection and comfort, with a focus on compatibility with other safety equipment. Detailed product information and selection tools are available online.
uvex silv-Air Series: The document details the uvex silv-Air series, designed for various face shapes and protection levels (FFP1, FFP2, FFP3). These masks enhance comfort, fit, and protection against particles, odours, gases, and vapours.
Specifications: Models include uvex silv-Air 5220+, 5200/5210, and 5310/5320, each with features like wide headbands, activated carbon filters, sealing lips, adjustable nose clips, and exhalation valves.
Features: Key features include wide, seamless headbands, exhalation valves, activated carbon filters, adjustable nose clips, and a high-performance climazone system for a cool climate inside the mask.
Product Variants: Available in FFP1, FFP2, and FFP3 protection levels, with options for folding and preformed masks, with or without valves, and metal-free processing in certain models.
Recommendations: Choose masks based on face shape and required protection level. Consider models with activated carbon filters for environments with odours, gases, and vapours. Ensure proper fit by adjusting the nose clip and headband.
