AS/NZS 1716 Valved Respirator | Asbestos & Welding

Managing asbestos removal, soldering, and grinding tasks requires reliable respiratory protection to keep hazardous particles out of the lungs. These P2 acid carbon valved respirators are built for high-risk environments like construction sites and metal workshops where thermally generated particles and nuisance odours are common. They provide a necessary barrier for tradespeople handling materials that produce fine dust or irritating fumes during the fabrication process.

The integrated valve allows for easier breathing during heavy physical labour, reducing heat and moisture build-up inside the mask. This makes the gear more comfortable for long shifts, meaning workers are less likely to remove their protection prematurely. The soft inner lining prevents skin irritation around the nose and mouth, while the metal-free construction ensures the user can move through secure areas without interference. When integrated into your broader ppe supplies, these masks reduce the risk of inhaling harmful mists and particulates during welding or medical procedures.

These respirators are rated to AS/NZS 1716 and are supplied as a bulk pack of 120 units. The design focuses on protection against mechanically generated particles and the reduction of nuisance odours.
