Filtered face masks used to protect against dust, smoke and aerosols are collected under 3 main headings as FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 within the scope of dust and particle masks. The classification details of this type of masks, which do not have a protection effect against gas and vapor, are as follows.
FFP1: Masks developed with a low breathing resistance breathing technology are used for protection from non-toxic and non-fiber accumulation dust. It reduces the risk of contamination 4 times. The filtering efficiency is 80%.
FFP2: This type of masks mainly used by those working in the mining industry; It aims to provide protection from smoke, aerosol, solid and liquid particles. It can provide protection against toxic solid and liquid aerosols up to medium level. The filtering efficiency of these masks, which reduces the risk of contamination 10 times, is 94%.
FFP3: These masks, which can cause cancer or filter radioactive substances, viruses and bacteria, aim to protect from toxic dust, smoke and aerosol. It can provide protection against highly toxic solid and liquid aerosols. Filtering efficiency is 99.97% in this mask, which reduces the risk of contamination 20 times.
