Important additional information for all types of masks and filters

How can I tell when the filters are used up?

1) If you can still smell an odour through the gas mask, either from the very product it is supposed to protect you against or from a similar product with a strong smell. Tip: with most gas masks, a good test is to check whether you can smell thinners.

This does not apply to dust masks, of course. They are generally not designed to filter out gases.

2) If breathing through the mask becomes noticeably harder, the filter is too clogged and must be replaced. This applies to both gas masks and dust masks.

3) If the filter or mask is becoming visibly dirty, this will often go hand in hand with more difficult breathing.

How do I extend the service life?

1) Unless necessary, avoid using gas masks in dusty environments or as a dust mask, as the gas filter will then clog more quickly.

2) Even when wearing a gas mask, continue to work with good extraction or good ventilation.

3) After use, store the mask and/or filters in a resealable zip bag, a resealable box or similar to protect them from dust and reactions with gases.

Using masks and filters

1) Write the date of first use on the bag or box in which the filters and mask are stored. This gives you an indication of how old the filter is and how often it has been used.

2) Only use masks that fit closely around the nose and mouth, so that you are not given a false sense of security. Choose the right size and make sure the nose clips of the mask are pressed firmly into place.
