ABOUT HALF MASK RESPIRATORS
Face Mask Half are respiratory protection masks that can be used in combination with gas and particulate filters. Depending on your choice of filter, they can offer protection against harmful substances such as dust, aerosols, gases and/or Face Mask Half. The masks cover the mouth and nose. In comparison to full masks, half mask respirators are relatively lightweight and compact. They can be used for a range of applications requiring gas and particulate filters.
WEARING COMFORT OF FILTER MASKS
In order that masks are worn consistently and willingly by users, it is important to choose models with a high degree of wearing comfort. Like all Modle filter masks, our half masks are designed to maintain a secure, comfortable fit for the duration of use, even over lengthy periods. The fit is ensured, among other things, by an anatomically designed sealing lip made from soft, skin-friendly material
PUTTING ON A HALF MASK
In order for half masks to offer reliable protection, they must fit well and be worn properly. Thanks to a special, adaptable sealing lip, some models are one-size-fits-all. Others are available in S, M and L. Respiratory protection masks should be held in position by one hand while being placed over the mouth and nose, while the other hand adjusts the straps over the head and neck. All models have length-adjustable straps. Since facial hair such as beards can impair the fit of filter masks, users must always be clean-shaven. If the user wishes to test the fit of the mask, they may place the palm of their hand over the exhalation valve and breathe out slowly. If no air leaks out between the respirator and the Face Mask Half, the mask is positioned securely.
As an alternative to the above, they may also use their palms to cover both filter. If the body of the mask contracts slightly upon a long inward breath and there is no influx of air from other parts of the mask, the half mask respirator is correctly fitted.Face Mask Half
CLEANING OF HALF MASK RESPIRATORS
To ensure the functionality and cleanliness of half masks, they should ideally be cleaned after every use. A Modle disinfecting cloth or similar can be used to do this. Once this has been carried out, the filter masks should be stored in a sealed container with as high a degree of as possible. A Face Mask Half storage bucket is ideal for this purpose. The name and the date of the last filter change can be recorded on the outside of the bucket for convenience.Face Mask Half

What Does Half Mask Mean?
A half-mask is a type of respirator that covers only part of the face. It is an item of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the respiratory tract from potentially harmful noxious substances. As a half mask, it does not cover the upper part of the face and therefore does not protect the eyes. It does not protect from head injuries of any kind to other parts of the head such as impact from falling objects.BEST WAY TRADERS Face Mask Half
For eye protection, noise protection or head protection other safety equipment must be used in conjunction with a half mask. For eyes to be protected from noxious substances in the air a full mask, which covers the whole face, can be used. This has a transparent cover that engulfs the upper part of the face. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Face Mask Half provides regulations for testing and certifying powered and non powered respirators. Before choosing a respirator, it is important for business owners to perform a risk assessment and safety plan and consult NIOSH regulatory standards to help choose the appropriate for a task.
The disposable face piece or the half-mask respirator fits over the nose but does not cover the whole face. A full face mask respirator does cover the whole face; the wartime ‘gas mask’ is of this type. A powered respirator has a fan to assist the flow of air through the filter.
Each type of respirator is available in three performance classifications. Thus, half-mask and full face mask respirators may be of the PI, P2, or P3 specification.
The filters available for respirators are of three types: (1) filters for particular gases and vapors only, (2) filters for dusts and other particulate materials, and (3) combination filters for particular gases and vapors and for dusts and other particulates.Face Mask Half
As already stated, the air-purifying respirator differs fundamentally from the air-supplied RPE in that it is not itself a source of air and is therefore of little use unless breathable air can be drawn through it from the surrounding atmosphere. It will not sustain breathing in an asphyxiating atmosphere.
Face Mask Half Any air-purifying half-mask respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s) in combination with an N95, R95, or P95 filter. The following filters may also be used: Face Mask Half; or supplied-air respirator); (any supplied-air respirator operated in a continuous-flow mode); air-purifying full face piece respirator equipped with an organic vapor cartridge in combination with a high-efficiency particulate filter); or CcrFOv100[any air-purifying full face piece respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridge(s) in combination with an N100, R100, or P100 filter]; or GmFOv100 purifying, full face piece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted organic vapor canister having an Face Mask Half with full (any supplied-air respirator with a full face piece). Emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations or conditions: (any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full face piece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode); or(any supplied-air respirator that has a full face piece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode). Escape: GmFOv100 Face Mask Half [any air-purifying, full face piece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted organic vapor canister having an N100, R100, or P100 filter]; or (any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus).

The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100, P100; or Sa (APF=10) (any supplied-air respirator). Up to 12.5 milligram per cubic meter: Sa:Cf* (APF=25) (any supplied-air respirator operated in a continuous-flow mode); or PaprOvHie (APF=25) (any powered air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge in combination with a high-efficiency particulate filter).* Up to 25 milligram per cubic meter: CcrFOv100 (APF=50) [any air-purifying full facepiece respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridge(s) in combination with an N100, R100, or P100 filter]; or GmFOv100 (APF=50) [any air-purifying, full facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front-or back-mounted organic vapor canister having an N100, R100, or P100 filter]; or PaprTOvHie* (APF=50) [any powered, air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s) in combination with a Employers must select, and provide to employees, the appropriate respirators specified in paragraph (d)(3) of 29 CFR 1910.134. They must provide employees with a full-facepiece respirator instead of a half-mask respirator for protection against lead aerosols that may cause eye or skin irritation at the use concentrations. HEPA filters for powered and nonpowered air-purifying respirators must also be provided.
See Figure 4.3 for different types of respirators used in residential lead hazard control work. Figure 4.4 shows a worker in protective clothing while cleaning. It is important to vacuum all surfaces in the work area, including those that have been covered with plastic. The employer must provide a powered air-purifying respirator when an employee chooses to use such a respirator and it will provide adequate protection to the employee.
