FFP2 Mask

But it's not just when you're at work that you should wear an FFP2 face mask, you should also wear one if you may currently be suffering from an illness where even a simple flu could pose a risk. It's also worth noting that if you're wearing an N95 or KN95 half mask, you're wearing the US or Chinese version, which is fully compliant with the European FFP2 standard.

Which standard do FFP2 masks have to comply with?

The FFP2 half masks available in the DND Telecom webshop comply with the EN149:2001+A1:2009 standard. This means that these masks are semi-masks with a minimum of four layers of nasal rigidity, which are able to filter out almost 95% of bacteria, viruses and small particles. So they can significantly reduce the load of airborne dust and viruses we are exposed to. In addition, the FFP2 face mask available in our online shop is CE certified, which is proof of the conformity of the protective equipment.

What sizes of the FFP2 face mask are available in the DND Telecom webshop?

The DND Telecom webshop offers 20 individually packaged FFP2 masks in a box. But it is also possible to order less than 20 pieces. In this case, the number of half-masks per pack will be delivered as many as the customer wants.

How to wear FFP2 half masks?

After the pandemic, it probably goes without saying that the protective effect of a mouth mask is highly dependent on its fit. The better they close, the more they protect. We should mention, however, that if you are going to wear a mask all day, we strongly recommend that you choose models with foam seals and nose clips, as these masks can be worn for longer periods of time, up to 8 hours of comfortable wear. So you can work a whole shift without any problems and without being distracted by these masks.

The right thing to do when putting on a FFP2 mask is to carefully adjust the nose strap to your nose to ensure a perfect fit, and also to place the rubber strap behind your ear. This way the mask will fit properly to the contours of your face, unless you have a scar or a large moustache or beard. In this case, the facial hair needs to be properly adjusted so that your half face fits perfectly.

What are the features and benefits of FFP2 mouth masks?

Wearing a FFP2 mouth mask and fitting it correctly on your face will prevent your face from touching it. This prevents us from unintentionally touching our mouth or nose and thus introducing the infection on our hands into our body. But the mask also prevents us from infecting others. In the case of droplet-borne diseases, it is a very prudent solution because it covers our mouth and nose. As mentioned above, this type of mouth mask is comfortable and easy to put on, as the rubber strap fits perfectly around our ears and the nose stiffener can be adjusted to the shape of the face by means of a metal tab at the nose.

When to choose an FFP2 valve mouthpiece?

We recommend wearing FFP2 vented masks in workplaces with highly polluted air. The valve ensures that moisture does not build up inside the mask, even when worn for hours. This is because the valve facilitates the escape of inhaled air.

For example, in woodworking workshops, wearing a mask with the FFP2 valve makes work easier because no pollutants are inhaled. What's more, the FFP2 vented face mask filters out even the smallest particles in the air that would put unnecessary strain on your lungs. This prevents fine dust from penetrating the multi-layer filter and provides effective protection while you work. However, this type of FFP2 mask is not suitable for protection against viruses such as coronavirus.
