Dust Masks

Dust Masks

Breathe easy in the foreseeable future by protecting your lungs from harmful dust with a Dust Mask. When working around certain tools that produce dust, you want to wear a dust mask or a respirator to limit your likelihood of inhaling airborne particles that can fill up in your lung tissues and block airways. This obstruction can cause serious respiration health problems down the road such as respiratory disease or even lung cancer.

Dust masks come in various types of protection, ranging from defense against nuisances such as cut grass, pollen, and dust to our heavy-duty respirator masks that will shield the user from harmful pollutants. It is important to know what type of mask you need to correctly protect yourself. You do not want a rating that is too low which may not offer adequate protection yet you also do not want to always have the highest rating mask for jobs that do not require it, either.

So which dust mask or respirator mask is best for your application? If you are looking for a dust mask to limit allergen exposure then our nuisance masks should work just fine. If you are in the market for a heavy-duty respirator mask to filter out some dangerous inhalants, then you will need to know a little more. There are certain ratings that can help you make an informed decision. Those with a filter rating of 95, will stop 95% of particles from entering through the mask. A 99% rating is for those masks that offer protection against 99% of airborne particles. Masks with a 100% rating will filter out at least 99.97% of contaminants to the best protection. As for the letter ratings, N means the mask is not resistant to oil-based products. The letter R means that the mask is somewhat resistant to oil-based products. The mask rating of P means it is strongly resistant to oil, thereby providing the most protection against harmful oil-based products.
