KG, a specialist in respiratory and hearing protection, offers a wide range of possibilities for the protec- tion of the respiratory tract according to user needs, with maximum comfort. The manufacturer has set up some selec- tion guidelines: “the first consideration is whether we need breathing apparatus (for lack of oxygen or the presence of contami- nants which are difficult for a sensorial identification). If not, the next question is: do we have particulate/haze pollution, pollutants in the form of gases/vapors, or perhaps both at once? (Information pro- vided by the products data sheets). In the event that we should protect only from particles and/or mists and/or fumes, it is recommended the use of FFP auto-filtering masks or oral-nasal semi-masks, or full masks (if the eye protection is also required), with particles filter. The needed protection level depends on several factors, the most important being the type of cont- aminant, level of concentration and user’s exposure time. Auto-filtering masks Moldex has a wide range of possibilities, whose differentiating factor, common to the whole range, is the Duramesh® sys- tem, which retains a strong and durable structure and gets the perfect breathability and non-deformability of the mask while using it. They also feature the Activform® system for optimum fit to any facial pro- file, without nose clip. The user can choose among several alternatives: - Classic Series. In addition to the afore- mentioned, it has a single strap that allows easy positioning and a comfortable adjustment to the neck. The security dou- ble ring valve improves hyperventilation and gets a significant reduction in the moisture and inside heat - Smart Series. It includes the options: Smart, Smart Pocket and Smart Solo. Besides the above mentioned features and benefits, it’s noteworthy the strap, cloth covered to avoid allergies, as well as the self-adjusting nose, which has got a pad for comfort. Depending on model, we can find different functionalities: clip (more hygienic pause mode), single strap harness (faster fitting and retraction), etc. Within that group there are also masks with activated carbon to ozone protection in welding or organic odors. - Air and Air Plus Series. They have rev- olutionized the filtration system of masks for their unique and innovative technology of pleated filter. They have a 260% more filter surface, which signifi- cantly reduces the breathing resistance, while offering great filtration capacity. Semi-masks or full face mask When pollutants are a gas or vapor or a mixture of these with particles or mist, Moldex offers several possibilities: - Series 5000. Disposable oral-nasal mask, whose design allows changing the particles filter and improving the user’s vision. The part in contact with the skin is made up with Kreton, a completely hypoallergenic material. It is available with a variety of filters to protect against multiple pollutants. -Series 8000 and 7000. They’re the Moldex reusable semi-masks, made of hypoaller- genic material. Being extremely light they enhance user comfort. The 7000 filters are placed without an adapter and are the same of the Moldex full face mask (Series 9000). Lightweight, maximum vis- ibility and simplicity has made the 9000 series an icon of the brand. 39 PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
