Anonymous Coward User ID: 75520495 United States 01/31/2020 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For those having trouble locating masks I just wanted to point out a possible alternative source that may go overlooked, painting respirators. These are reusable partial or full faced masks with cartridge filters (variety of filters available, which need to be purchased separately). Quoting: Bud Fox Here is an amazon search to give you an idea: [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] These are generally sold from industrial supply houses or chains like McCarr or Grainger, but are available in a lot of home depot like stores too. They will probably be available a lot longer than other types of mask simply because people don't know what they are or where to look. A couple of points on these, however: 1) Technically you should be professionally "fit" for one of these to be 100% effective. This includes shaving any facial hair in the area around the seal of the mask, and getting one that fits your face. 2) These are dangerous to those with respiratory and cardiac problems, so they should only be worn with a doctors consent. At my former business we used to disqualify people form jobs because they failed the medical risk portion of the fitment. I’m convinced that some of the people who randomly collapsed had been wearing the same mask for too long. Respiratory distress plus clogged mask plus physical activity equals passing out. |

The only other mask that's osha approved is the TC19 supplied air respirator. Most guys can't handle a TC19 because if you step in the house (with such low pressure) it cuts of the air supply. Most guys freak out the first time this happens like it did with me, and refuse to ever wear one again. As for the N95, they have never been used in the auto industry, they won't even work for a little shit breather dust mask. Get you facts straight you lying fucking jack ass. |

User ID: 75769027 United Kingdom 02/01/2020 08:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | N95 Respirators. An N95 respirator is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles. The 'N95' designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very small (0.3 micron) test particles What is the difference between an FFP1, FFP2 and an FFP3 dust respirator? Simply, an FFP3 will offer greater protection than FFP2 and FFP1. An FFP1 has an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 4, N95 FFP2 has an APF of 10 and an FFP3 has an APF of 20 green onions |
