When safety is concerned, Forney Industries doesn’t take shortcuts. From over 50 different varieties of safety gloves, to stylishly designed welding helmets, when you buy Forney products you have put your trust in good hands.
For those that don’t know, respirators are worn over the mouth and nose (or your entire face) to prevent the inhalation of toxic substances. Forney industries has recently introduced two half mask respirators as part of the Half Mask Respirator Program.
Two distinct masks cover all of our channels. Here’s all you need to know about these respirators, and the benefits they provide.
P 100 High Efficiency Half Mask Respirator
This respirator is great for protection against particulate matter such as toxic dusts and fumes, brake dusts, exotic welding, glass fibers and asbestos. This respirator is made in America and has a wider unobstructed viewing range than standard respirators.
Protection and Usage of the P 100 Respirator:
| Particulate Protection: | Product Specifications: | Also Designed For: |
|---|---|---|
| Dusts | Ultra low profile design provides the wider, unobstructed viewing range Large inhalation and exhalation valves reduces fatigue, increases endurance providing greater user comfort and productivity | Construction |
| Mists | SAF-TWIST connection system with 3-position adjustment allows cartridge to fit under face shields and welding helmets Textured “non-slip” face seal provides exceptional comfort. Prevents the mask from moving on the face maintaining a proper fit during use | Automotive |
| Non-Oil Fumes | Swivel Retainers provide a 70 degree swivel allowing for a more natural fit without pressure points Approved NIOSH Certified | Exotic Welding |
N95/R95 Multi-Purpose Organic Vapor Half Mask Respirator
This organic vapor respirator is perfect for protection against lacquer and enamel paints, pesticides, welding, dusts and oil-based particulate aerosols for up to 8 hours.
Protection and Usage of the N95/R95 Multi-Purpose Respirator
| Vapor Protection (WET): | Product Specifications: | Also Designed For: |
|---|---|---|
| Lacquer & enamel paint | Ultra low profile design provides wider, unobstructed viewing range Large inhalation and exhalation valves reduces fatigue, increases endurance providing greater user comfort and productivity | Farm/Ranch |
| Pesticides | SAF-TWIST connection system with 3-position adjustment allows cartridge to fit under faceshields and welding helmets Textured “non-slip” face seal provides exceptional comfort. Prevents the mask from moving on the face while maintaining a proper fit during use. | Paint |
| Oil-based particulate aerosols | Swivel Retainers provide a 70 degree swivel allowing for a more natural fit without pressure points Approved NIOSH Certified | Petro- Chemical |
| General Features and Benefits of the P100 and N95/R95: |
|---|
| Innovation |
| Easier breathing |
| Designed for comfort |
| Maximum protection |
| SAF-TWIST CONNECTING SYSTEM with 3 Position Adjustment: |
|---|
| Arrows 1, 2 and 3 demonstrate how the cartridge connecting hole is offset on the back of the cartridge |
| Arrow 4 demonstrates the positioning stem fits into slot located on the cartridge |
| Inhalation: | Exhalation: |
|---|---|
| Larger inhalation valve allows the user to inhale more air per breath | -Unique Corrugated Exhalation Valve Diaphragm reduces heat build up inside the mask |
| Air is converted to oxygen which; Reduces fatigue, increases endurance providing greater user comfort and productivity Increases mental alertness reducing risk of injury while increasing productivity. | – Each channel traps the exhaled air like a parachute -Requires less effort to blow the diaphragm of the seat – Creates more space between the diaphragm and the seat allowing more hot exhaled air to exit the mask faster & with less effort providing greater comfort and productivity |
| Low Breathing Resistance = Greater Comfort + Increased Productivity (Versus Competitive Inhalation cartridge connectors) |   |
| Low Breathing Resistance + Greater Comfort + Increased Productivity (Bigger is Better) | |
