FACE MASKS

All face masks are designed to be protective – but protective against what exactly? We were given the challenge of creating the ultimate safety mask – one that could withstand toxic gasses, high temperatures and fire.

After conducting rigorous trials, we constructed an innovative mask capable of handling the heat generated by infra-red welding, yet simple enough to reproduce on our customers’ production line. Each facemask incorporates a flame-retardant compound and a unique blend of activated carbon to collect and absorb acidic gas and odours.
