Stay Safe With A Face Mask That Provides Filtering Capacity

Stay Safe With A Face Mask That Provides Filtering Capacity

We offer 2 Washable Filtering Masks that allow for maximum protection against any airborne viruses and particles.

Whether you’re working in close proximity with your colleagues or if you are a vulnerable person amongst this Covid-19 pandemic, these face masks can help prevent catching the deadly virus.

In this article, we’ll be looking further into the filtering capacity scheme and what that actually means for our face masks.

What is the filtering capacity scheme?

The filtering capacity scheme measures a filtering performance of bacteria and the effect they have on an individual wearing a face mask.

From the diagram, we can see that the size of the bacteria can ultimately have some of an effect on how the bacteria can get through the face masks.

However, with at least a 93% filtering capacity, these masks are fit for purpose and are some of the best on the market, being used for key works who require PPE as part of their daily job.

Homemade vs filtering masks

Due to key workers needed personal protective equipment (PPE) in order to carry out their jobs throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, acquiring face masks can be a challenge.

Many people have resulted in creating their own face masks from old clothes, to protect themselves the best way they can.

And whilst this provides some barrier against the virus, it’s certainly not practical for surgical use and may not be fully healthy.

Filtering masks are much better at creating a barrier for harmful airborne viruses and particles and ones that include a filtering capacity scheme such as these, can help keep you safe at all times, whenever and wherever you need to wear the mask.

Are marketplace masks any good?

Most of the major marketplaces sell a lot of personal protective equipment, however, the issue with marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay is that you cannot determine the quality of the masks and most of them are not fit for surgical or even medical purposes.

This is why it’s better to buy from a trusted seller of face masks who can back up the claims of filtering capacity schemes and can confidently say that because it’s in the manufacturing of the mask itself.

So, we would highly recommend avoiding marketplace sellers who are simply looking to make a profit and buy from trusted businesses who specialise in selling protective work clothing and equipment.

Should I buy filtering face masks?

In order to keep yourself protected at all times when you’re working in a vulnerable profession or high-risk jobs, it’s important that you wear the correct clothing.

Sometimes this is taken care of by your employer, other times you are responsible for your workwear.

Whether you’re looking to buy PPE for your staff members or you’re looking for yourself, you need to make sure that you’re buying the right PPE for you or your staff’s own safety.

These 2 pack washable filtering masks can give you the ultimate protection you need to keep yourself safe and to keep any harmful viruses at bay.

And whilst they may not be classed for medical or surgical use, they represent some of the best protective face masks that are currently available on the market.

The masks are water repellent, breathable, reusable, washable and sterilizable up to 50 times. So you’ll certainly get a lot of use out of them whilst most importantly protecting yourself when it’s most important.

They’re not only great for deterring bacteria, but they’re also good to prevent other particles such as dust as debris to help keep your airflow clean without having to put yourself at risk.
