Half face respirators are a practical and comfortable solution for protecting against dust, fumes, gases, and vapours in workplaces like construction sites, factories, laboratories, and healthcare settings. Designed to cover the nose and mouth, they provide a secure seal while allowing for easier communication and compatibility with other protective gear. We offer a wide range of high-quality options from 3M, Sundström, Moldex, Shigematsu, and Cleanspace, ensuring reliable protection for different industries. Whether you're handling chemicals, working around airborne particles, or need everyday respiratory protection, our half face respirators are built for safety, comfort, and durability.
Half face respirators are a more comfortable and cost-effective option when eye protection is not required. They are ideal for environments with lower contamination risks, such as dust and particulate exposure.
Full face respirators, on the other hand, are necessary when eye protection is also needed, offering added protection from hazardous fumes and vapours.
