FFP2 masks
The FFP2 Mask is one of the existing types of filtering face masks (in addition to the FFP1 and FFP3 masks ). Who protects the FFP2 mask? This type of mask has a P2 type particulate filter and serves mainly to protect people from dust, smoke, aerosols but does not protect against gases or vapors. It is designed to cover the nose and mouth and is made up of different filtration materials. Its filtration efficiency will always be over 90% , which means it offers a high level of security against Covid-19 , especially in closed spaces.
The FFP2 farbig masks not only provide protection against solid and liquid aerosols, but also use a little color in everyday pandemic life. The folding design in different colors is provided with a comfortable ear strap, which allows the face mask to fit ergonomically on the face.

In this type of mask, preference should be given to those that do not have a valve.Respirators with valves make it easier to exhale air and are therefore more comfortable to wear.However, they do not filter the user’s exhaled air, only the inhaled one.This unidirectional protection puts others at risk if the user is infected with covid-19.The filter in FFP2 farbig has a physical size close to 0.3 micrometers, but that does not mean that it can only retain particles larger than that size.The SARS-CoV-2 virus is about 0.1 micrometers in size, but it is always attached to something larger.
The virus binds to water droplets or aerosols (ie, very small droplets) that are generated during breathing, talking, coughing, etc.These droplets consist of water, mucus protein and other biological material and are all larger than a micrometer.There are never “isolated” viruses floating in the air or released by people, they always “travel” attached to larger particles, which are “caught up” by the filter.Even if the particles were smaller than the size of the filter.
The respirator (disposable mask FFP2 – KN95) is equipped with low respiratory resistance filter technology and shaped nasal flap that adapts to different facial shapes. Get FFP2 farbig protection from airborne dust particles, viruses, as well as non-volatile liquid particles and bioaerosol. The disposable respirator allows you to work comfortably and safely, reducing heat build-up. It features a collapsible design and is therefore convenient to store when not in use.
