Face of the future

A new range of full face mask
respirators from 3M is designed for
maximum comfort and flexibility in
the most demanding environments.

The FF-400 Full Face Mask Series is
engineered to be durable, robust and
versatile and incorporates advanced
design features to optimise
functionality and wearability.

Featuring a large lens for wide
peripheral vision, it is the only full
face mask available with Scotchgard
Protector scratch-resistant coating,
which makes the lens more resistant
to dirt, paint and stains. The mask
also features the Cool Flow
Exhalation Valve to minimise
breathing resistance and prevent heat
and moisture build up.

Anja Buchan of the 3M Safety
Solutions division says: “The FF-400
Full Face Mask Series features a soft,
silicone nose cup and face seal and is
available in three sizes to ensure
optimum fit for a range of face
shapes. The mask meets the highest
class of optical clarity and is also
durable, with long-lasting harness
straps pulled over one million times
in durability testing.”
Compatible with hard hats, the
FF-400 utilises a bayonet connector
system for the added benefits of
improved weight distribution and
balance.
