FAQs

What is an FFP3 mask?

FFP3 disposable face masks are a vital piece of PPE and can filter out up to 99% of all particles in the air. They’re an essential for anyone who works closely with particulate matter. 

What level of protection does an FFP3 mask provide?

FFP3 face masks offer the most comprehensive level of protection. They block out up to 99% of particulate matter in the air while providing at least four different layers of protection, which are:

1. An anti-droplet filter

2. An anti-particle filter

3. An anti-fog filter

4. A moisture-proof layer

How do you properly wear an FFP3 mask?

You need to make sure your mask is fitted correctly on your face. You can do this in five simple steps:

1. Hold the mask in one hand. Use the other hand to fully open the mask and bend the nose wire to form a curve.

2. Place the respirator under your chin while holding on to the exposed headbands with your free hand.

3. Slip the headbands over the crown of your head, holding the respirator close to your mouth as you do.

4. Make sure the respirator is flat against your cheeks.

5. Mould the mask across the bridge of your nose, pressing down firmly to make sure you have a good fit.

You can perform a fit check by pressing down firmly on the front of the respirator and breathing. If you feel any air coming in or going out around the nose area, the mask has not been fitted properly. Remove the mask and refit it to your face.

How long can you use an FFP3 mask for?

FFP3 masks have a working life of up to 8 hours, assuming you don’t remove it from your face. If you do take the mask off, there’s a possibility it can become infected, and you’ll need to instantly discard the mask and replace it with a new one. We don’t advise washing your disposable masks and reusing them.
