In summary, the above mentioned amendment includes the load test of 120 mg of paraffin oil to better simulate actual conditions in daily work. The filter masks (FFP) are subdivided into two categories: NR (not Reusable) and R (Reusable). For a self-filtering mask to be considered as Category R it has pass an additional efficacy test after the load of 120 mgr and after 24 hours of storage, moreover being washable the part sealing the wearer’s face. Moldex, specialist in respiratory and hear- ing protection, has redesigned its classic 3000 Series not only to adapt to the new revision of the standard, but to create an innovative product. The new 3000 Air Series, which has very low breathing resistance, is made of a high capacity filtering material, allowing extend the useful life and hence obtaining a reduction in the total consumption of FFP masks. Technological advantages Moldex technology of folded filtering mate- rial allows a 260% filtering surface bigger than other FFP masks. This entails a con- siderable reduction in the resistance to breathing. All FFP masks from the 3000 Air Series are significantly below the breathing resistance required by the standard, and within the Moldex Airzon requirements: comfortable resistance, increased perfor- mance and reduced fatigue. Moldex technology of folded filter materi- al, with nearly three times more filter sur- face area than a standard filter, may be loaded with more solid aerosols than a conventional filter, slowly increasing the breathing resistance. Therefore the 3000 Air Series can be used longer time than conventional masks, helping to reduce the costs of buying protective breathing. Beyond this, the Air Series has got all the benefits of Moldex respirators: -Activform®. It allows the automatic adaptation to any facial anatomy without clip or adapter. -Ventex®. This option allows great hyper- ventilation which increases comfort by reducing the moisture and heat. -DuraMesh®. It consist of a firm and durable structure that prevents deforma- tion of the mask. “Another example that the slogan ‘The true specialists’ is not simple advertising, but the hard commitment of our company to continuously innovate, creating products that, according to all regulatory require- ments, are more convenient for users and more profitable for their companies”, says a spokesman for Moldex. 21 PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
