Important additional information for all types of masks and filters

How can I tell when the filters are spent?

1) If you can still smell an odour through the gas mask, from the product it is meant to protect you against or from a similar strong-smelling product. Tip: for most gas masks, a good test is whether you can smell thinners.

This obviously does not apply to dust masks. 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, try not to use 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 zip-lock bag, resealable box or similar to prevent 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 no false sense of security arises. Choose the right size and make sure the nose clips in the mask are pressed in properly.
