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.
