Reusable Respirator Masks

What are reusable respirators?

Military personnel face many situations where respirator mask becomes mandatory for protection against vapors, gases, fumes, etc. Mining workers, similarly, are exposed to harmful airborne materials. Reusable respirators are protective gears that protect workers from the hazardous effects of vapors and gases found in their work environments.

Most reusable respirators come branded with industrial letters and colors to let the wearer know which type of gas the reusable respirator mask protects them from. Once done with the reusable respirator after every use, the wearer should clean the device. They should also conduct visual checks for any tears or cracks on the device. A reusable respirator needs to fit the wearer's face perfectly. Furthermore, ensure you have the correct filter cartridge. Otherwise, it won't do its job.

What are the advantages of reusable respirators?

Reusable respirators offer dependable protection from common airborne hazards. The reusable mask may be interchanged with filters (N95, R95, etc.) to suit your hazard.

Reduced heat and moisture build-up

What are the downsides of reusable respirators?

Disposable respirators offer some advantages compared to their reusable counterparts. Because the reusable mask is bulkier, it may get in the way of work and be impacted to wear for extended periods. While an n95 mask may be easily worn on an airplane, the same is not valid for a reusable respirator.

Only comfortable when fitted properly
It does not substitute for the use of surgical face masks
Expensive for students in research labs
