Frequently Asked Questions

What do the FFP ratings on Moldex masks mean?

FFP (Filtering Face Piece) ratings indicate the level of protection. FFP1 filters at least 80% of airborne particles, FFP2 filters 94% (suitable for construction dust), and FFP3 filters 99% (required for toxic dusts and fine particulates). Choose the rating based on your specific workplace hazards and HSE requirements.

How long can I use a Moldex disposable respirator?

Disposable masks should be replaced when breathing becomes difficult, the mask becomes damaged or distorted, or after the manufacturer's recommended duration (typically one shift). If working in particularly dusty environments, you may need to replace them more frequently to maintain adequate protection.

Are Moldex products suitable for workers with latex allergies?

Yes, Moldex manufactures all their respiratory protection products without natural rubber latex, making them safe for workers with latex sensitivities whilst maintaining full protective performance and comfort.
