Half masks introduced
April 1st 2008

Single and twin filter half masks have been added to the negative pressure respirator range available from Scott Health and Safety. Profile40 and Profile60 are designed to provide safety and comfort, while being durable, simple to maintain and offering low through-life costs.

The clear facepiece is moulded in a flexible and comfortable liquid silicone rubber, which is shaped to provide a wide, flat face seal that can be maintained efficiently throughout use.

Head movements are absorbed by bellow folds in the facepiece to maintain a positive seal, and the fastdon harness keeps the mask secure. Ribs inside the nosebridge seal without gripping to prevent leakage towards the eyes, making the half masks suitable for use with spectacles, goggles and most other types of PPE.

The Profile 40 single filter half mask has a standard 40mm EN148-1 thread connection. Using a wide selection of lightweight Pro2000 canister filters weighing 300g or less, it is designed to provide cost efficient protection.

The Profile 60 uses Pro2 twin cartridge filters that provide good balance and have individual covers to protect the filter media from splashes, sparks and contaminant.
