Face Masks What is the Difference
Discussion PPE KN95 FFP2 Face Masks – What are they?
FFP2 vs N95 vs KN95
All respirator masks are graded based on how much protection they offer. Each country has a different grading system for the equivalent masks. FFP2 is the UK/EU version, N95 is the US version and KN95 is the version used in China.
All these masks offer the same level of protection and they protect against materials at concentrations up to 12x OEL or 10x APF (assigned protection factor).
Are the masks re-usable?
These masks are not marketed as re-usable masks because they are considered dust masks are usually intended for use in a construction environment.
However, the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) directive indicates that a mouth mask can be reused as long as it “maintains its structural and functional integrity and the filter material is not physically damaged or soiled”.
Are the face masks washable?
The masks are not being advertised as washable, however, customers have let us know that they have washed their masks and experienced good and not so good results.
How do I use FFP2 masks?
These face masks are easy to use and can be worn by anyone. To fit, simply hold the mask and place it over your nose and mouth. Bring both elasticated headbands over your head and adjust the position until it’s comfortable.
The bottom elasticated headband should sit at the nape of your neck and the top elasticated headband should sit just above the crest of your head (the widest part).
Once the mask is in place, you can adjust the fitting on your nose by pinching or moving the metal bridge section so that it fits closely but without being too tight.
