A half mask respirator is designed to protect workers from harmful gases, vapors, or dust particles.
It consists of a facepiece (mask) made of flexible materials such as silicone or rubber and a filter cartridge attached. The half mask respirator typically covers half of the wearer's face, usually sealing around the nose and mouth area, allowing the wearer to breathe clean air.
The filter cartridge absorbs or filters out harmful substances, ensuring that the wearer can breathe safely. Filter cartridges may include dust mask filters to remove dust and particulates and chemical cartridges to absorb organic vapors and acidic gases.
