Half mask and full face respirators
Reusable respirators for businesses: the half mask AG360 to EN 140:1998 in orange and white and the full-face mask AG700 to EN 136:1998, class 2. Both are PPE of category III with EU type examination by notified body 2834 and are combined with AirGuard Pro filters.
Which mask fits depends on the multiple by which the substance exceeds the workplace exposure limit: with a P3 or gas filter the half mask is permitted up to 30 times, the full-face mask up to 400 times. The respirator finder shows the suitable combination.

Half mask or full-face mask?
The half mask covers nose and mouth, is lighter and leaves room for safety glasses and a helmet. The full-face mask covers the whole face and so also protects the eyes from irritant substances. It is needed when the concentration is above 30 times the limit value. More under Half mask or full-face mask.
Two filter systems
The half mask AG360 takes two bayonet filters. The full-face mask AG700 takes either two bayonet filters at the sides or one filter with RD40 thread in the centre, never both at once. Class 2 gas filters only come with an RD40 thread. The overview is under Bayonet or RD40.
A face seal is mandatory
A mask only protects if it seals. A beard or sideburns in the sealing area make a person unsuitable under DGUV Rule 112-190. The face seal is checked before every use. How: Face seal and beards.
Care and storage
According to the instructions for use, masks are cleaned and disinfected after every use, stored dry and without deformation, and masks kept ready are checked at least once a month. For the mask bodies the instructions for use state a shelf life of three years if stored correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Which respirator do I need?
That depends on the substance, concentration and oxygen content. Up to 30 times the workplace exposure limit a half mask with P3 or gas filter is enough, up to 400 times you need the full-face mask. No filtering mask helps if oxygen is lacking.
Are the masks reusable?
Yes. Half mask and full-face mask are cleaned and disinfected after every use and used again with fresh filters. For the mask bodies the instructions for use state three years shelf life if stored correctly.
Are filters included?
No. You choose the filters to suit the substance and concentration and order them separately.

Prices and scales are in the B2B shop of DS SafetyWear. Every product page links directly to the matching item.
