FFP3 masks offer the highest possible protection against airborne pollutants in occupational environments. They filter at least 99% of particles down to a size of 0.6 microns and have a maximum total leakage of 5%. FFP3 respirators therefore offer the highest protection class among filtering half masks. They are particularly suitable for work areas in which you are exposed to toxic, carcinogenic or radioactive particles. For example, in the chemical industry, where handling highly hazardous substances is part of everyday working life.
To ensure optimum protection, the mask must fit well. This means that it must fit snugly around the face. The FFP3 masks in the WERO online shop all adapt perfectly to the shape of the face and therefore offer a secure fit with good wearing comfort.
The FFP3 masks in the WERO online shop offer reliable protection against the following substances, among others:
FFP3 masks are particularly suitable for work areas in which employees are exposed to toxic, carcinogenic or radioactive particles. They are used in the chemical industry, for example, where handling highly hazardous substances is part of everyday working life.
FFP3 masks are also important in sectors such as construction, metalworking and waste disposal, especially when working with asbestos, mould, diesel soot or other hazardous dusts. They provide reliable protection against harmful, carcinogenic or radioactive substances in the workplace.
The exhalation valve makes it easier to exhale, as the exhaled air can escape through the valve instead of being forced through the filter material. This significantly reduces breathing resistance, making the mask more comfortable to wear, especially during physical work.
FFP3 masks without a valve tend to quickly become warm and moist from the exhaled air. The valve prevents moisture and heat from being trapped in the mask. By reducing the moisture in the mask, the risk of protective goggles fogging up is minimised. This is particularly advantageous in work areas where the wearing of safety goggles is mandatory, e.g. in the chemical industry or on construction sites.
FFP3 masks that comply with the EN 149 standard are certified, particle-filtering half masks that have been tested in accordance with the standards of the CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation). The requirements for FFP masks are defined in EN 149:2001 + A1:2009. Masks that have been tested by an authorised European test centre bear the prescribed CE mark. Directly behind this symbol is a four-digit number indicating which testing institute has tested and certified the type.
Yes, FFP3 masks can provide reliable protection against viruses just like FFP2 masks. They work in exactly the same way. In addition to protection against viruses, FFP3 masks also offer reliable protection against smaller particles. However, respirators with an exhalation valve do not protect the environment from your own viruses. If the environment is also to be protected, an FFP3 mask without an exhalation valve should be used.
When working around asbestos or black mould, a simple face mask or FFP1 and FFP2 masks are not sufficient. An FFP3 mask protects the respiratory tract from toxic particles and mould spores.
