Don't get a face full

As more becomes known about the respiratory health risks associated with inhaling airborne contaminants, the necessity for employees to wear face masks also increases.

However, finding a face mask that provides appropriate protection and comfort without hampering the ability to work or restricting vision - as well as being cost-effective - can be a difficult task. With its Elipse Half-Face Mask, NFC Specialist Products seeks to address these issues.

The materials and filtration technology developed by NFC Specialist Products are said to have enabled development of one of the smallest, lightest masks available. Designed to fit the curvatures of the face, it is small enough to wear under welding and grinding protection visors and other PPE, without impairing vision.

The Elipse HESPA + P3 mask breaks away from canister style filters, offering a modern looking, affordable premium mask. The Elipse HESPA+ P3 (R) twin filter mask is approved for use beyond 8 hours - filters are easily replaceable, increasing the cost-effectiveness of the entire mask.

Due to be launched by Easter, the Elipse A1/P3 protects against dust particles, vapour and gases, along with P3 Nuisance Odour Filters for low level odours.
