Disposable dust masks are graded based on the variation in protective level that they provide such as FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3 dust masks.
Reusable half masks & full face masks will require the equivalent P1, P2 or P3 filter, with FFP3 & P3 filter levels providing the highest level of dust mask protection.
03: What is the difference in protection between the different dust masks FFP1, FFP2 & FFP3?
FFP1 dust masks are the lowest protective grade dust mask providing a minimum 80% filtration & only protect against larger particle sizes & non toxic dusts / *water based aerosols at and APF 4.
FFP2 dust masks provide a higher level of protection with a minimum 94% filtration & APF 10x TLV from slightly toxic or irritating solid aerosols & liquids. Dust masks rated (P3) FFP3 provide the highest grade of protection offered at 98% particulate filtration with an APF 20 x TLV.
04: What dust mask should I select?
Prior to selecting the dust mask required, the level of hazard toxicity should first be identified. This will identify whether an FFP1, FFP2 & FFP3 dust mask or P1, P2 P3 reusable mask is required.
The choice between selecting a disposable dust mask or a reusable dust mask is very much personal preference however both types provide the same protection levels.
05: When would I need an FFP1 Dust Mask / P1 Dust Mask?
FFP1 dust masks / P1 Masks are often used in jobs such as demolition, DIY or jobs involving plaster for example. This grade of mask only provides protection against larger particulates > 5 microns & low level non toxic dusts & aerosols with a minimum filter efficiency of 80% & APF 4.
06: When would I need an FFP2 Dust Mask / P2 Dust Mask?

09: What Dust Mask should be used for asbestos?
Only dust masks at the correct protective grade FFP3 or if using a reusable mask with a P3 filter can used for unlicensed asbestos due to the fine fibres. They provide an APF 20 with the highest level of filtration. Lower FFP dust masks or lower grade filters do not provide sufficient protection due to lower filtering efficiency for smaller fibres.
10: Does a Dust Mask help with germs / flu?
Selecting the correct protective grade mask will help with protection against mould spores, viruses such as flu & Covid 19. FFP1 do not protect against viruses, FFP2 dust masks only provide limited protection however FFP3 (P3) dust masks is the grade recommended the WHO to protect against viruses such as SARs, Bird Flu & Covid 19.
11: How long can you wear a Dust Mask?
Disposable dust masks can be worn for an 8hr session but should be changed if they become damp or broken. Reusable dust masks such as the half mask or full face mask can be used for as long as the user is comfortable.
12: Can you wear a Dust Mask with glasses?
To prevent glasses from steaming up, it is important that the nose clip is pinched over the bridge of the nose and carefully moulded down the sides. If using a reusable half mask, the attachments to the head need to be altered & rechecked for seal using the manufacturing guidelines.
