Moldex CompactMask Half Face Respirators

The CompactMask range of half face respirators from Moldex have many features that makes them stand out from the crowd.

Firstly all the masks in the range are tested and certified to EN 405:2001 (Valved filtering half masks for use against gases or gases and particles).

These respirators have integral filters which means the mask is ready to wear and no assembly required.

This range half face masks are very lightweight which is important if wearing the mask for extended periods. The 5120 mask weighs only 210g compared to the 3M 4251 mask which weighs 232g. I know it is only 22g but if you are wearing the mask for long shifts trust me you will notice the difference.

A good face fit is always important and this is handled very well by Moldex's FlexFit technology. In addition the mask body is made from hypoallergenic thermoplastic material.

It is always good to see what you are doing when wearing a respirator and these masks have very low profile filters which allow for excellent peripheral vision.

The range has 4 variants that all protect against gases, vapours and particulates:

Moldex 5120 CompactMask. This half face mask has A1/P2 filters. The A1 gas filters protect against organic gases and vapours (with a boiling point > 65°C) encountered when working with solvents created by varnish, paints and adhesives. The P2 filters protect against moderate levels of harmful airborne particulates. This combination of filters is popular among paint sprayers.

Moldex 5230 CompactMask. This half face mask has A2/P3 filters. These will protect against the same hazards as the 5120 mask but to higher levels.

Moldex 5330 Compact Mask. This half face mask has A1B1E1/P3 filters. These filters will protect against the same gases and vapours as the 5120 mask plus working with chlorine, bromine, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulphide, hydrochloric acid and other acid gases. In addition to the the P3 filters will protect against high levels of toxic dusts and mists.

Moldex 5430 CompactMask. This half face mask has ABEK1/P3 filters. This combination of filters protect against all the gases that the 5330 mask can handle plus ammonia vapours.
