NIOSH Approved Full Face Respirators

Cartridge respirators help maintain a steady flow of clean breathing air to the user so he or she can accomplish the task at hand, whether it's operating around and handling hazardous materials, taking down old construction work or other situations. A basic cartridge respirator covers the mouth and nose, while a full face respirator protects the eyes from gas and debris. For everyday situations, consider disposable respirators and other forms of respiratory protection.

Low-Profile Design

Respirator masks with a low-profile design allow for using goggles separate from the mask and maintaining a wide field of vision. These types of masks can be ideal for jobs where eye protection and respiratory protection need to be able to be removed separately for communication or other situations. Check these masks for compatibility with particular goggles or other parts to maximize effectiveness.

Full-Face Respirators

These combinations of eyewear and mouth-wear help provide maximum protection from harmful gases, vapors, dirt and debris. They often come with functions built into the mask to help direct airflow and keep the space within the mask cool and dry. Use full-face respirators when keeping vision clear and unobstructed is important.

Replaceable Parts

Cartridge respirators have replaceable cartridges that are replaced with new filters to help provide continued use and maintain quality breathing air throughout its life. Some respirators also have replaceable harnesses or other parts to customize the mask to the user and make sure it fits securely and operates properly at all times.
