FFP2 masks filter at least 95% of airborne particles, providing a high level of protection against viruses and bacteria. They are also referred to as N95 or KN95 respirators, depending on where they were manufactured. These face masks are CE certified for sale in the UK and individually sealed to prevent cross-contamination.
Certification is provided with every mask order

FFP2 masks, also known as N95 masks, are a type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), normally used to protect the user from harmful particles in the air. They are designed to achieve a close and secure fit to the face. They provide a high level of protection by preventing contaminated and harmful airborne particles from entering your body through the mouth and nose. N95 and FFP2 masks offer the same level of protection, but have different names depending on where they are used. FFP2 masks and N95 masks filter up to 95% of particles from the air. These masks are recommended for use by the World Health Organisation by vulnerable patients and healthcare workers in the current COVID-19 pandemic. “FFP” stands for “Filtering Face Piece”, and is the standard used in Europe, to grade medical masks. The “N” in N95, means that the mask is not resistant to oil, which means that these masks can be used safely if protection is required against non oil-based particulates.
See our FFP2 mask reviews.
FFP2 masks have a filtration rate of up to 95%, and usually have three layers of protection. These masks are resistant to fluids and are commonly used by those working in healthcare settings, as they are filtering masks offering a high level of protection.
FFP2 face masks cover half of the face, more specifically the mouth and nose area. They are fitted with two elastic headbands that either go over the head or the ear, ensuring a tight and secure fit. There is a metal strip over the nosepiece, which can be adjusted to ensure that there is a tight fit around the bridge of the nose. This prevents air from entering through any gaps in the mask.
Please contact us if you require a specific type of mask.
FFP2 masks are not reusable and should be disposed of after one-time use. These masks often contain the letters “NR” on the mask, which stand for “Not Reusable”. This is because contaminated particles may not be visible on the exterior of the mask. Reusing these masks would mean that they would need to be kept, which can cause cross contamination if infectious particulate is on the mask. Washing these masks may also destroy the structure of the mask, rendering them ineffective. If you wish to use masks that can be washed, you should look for washable face masks which do not display reduced effectiveness with high heats. If you do need to reuse your mask, you should consider the following points:
FFP2 masks are not washable, as high temperatures and certain liquids may damage the fibres of the mask, reducing the effectiveness of the mask. FFP2 (N95 masks) should only be used once and should be replaced each time they are removed.
FFP2 masks are constructed of a network of tangled fibres, which are designed to trap tiny particles. This prevents harmful substances from travelling through the mask, protecting the nose and mouth. N95 masks also provide an electrostatic charge, attracting small particles to the fibres of the mask. FFP2 masks are also resistant to fluids, preventing contaminated liquids from making contact with the face.
The shape of the mask is designed in line with the ergonomics of your face, to ensure a secure fit. This allows maximum breathing capability and comfort while still providing protection from harmful substances in the air.
FFP2 masks protect the user from contaminated particles in the air, such as bacteria and viruses. FFP2 masks can filter particles up to 0.3 microns in size. Some virus particles are smaller in size that 0.3 microns. Particles smaller than 0.3 microns exhibit a random zig-zag motion, where they pinball off other particles in the air. This movement makes it easy for mask fibres to capture the particles. It is also a rarity for naked particles to be present in the air, unattached to other substances. Virus particles will usually be attached to liquids and aerosols from sneezes and coughs, which are easily filtered by FFP2 and N95 masks.
FFP2 respirators are used to stop harmful substances entering the respiratory system through your mouth and nose. This can be useful in several different scenarios which include:
Although our N95 face masks are purchased from a UK-registered pharmacy wholesaler, they are not designed to be used by healthcare professionals.
FFP2 masks filter up to 95% of airborne particles. Droplets from sneezes and coughs can travel up to 7 meters and wearing a face mask can help to prevent inhaling airborne viruses.
FFP2 masks can be worn for up to 8 hours. Once a mask is removed, it should be discarded and should not be reused.
N95 and FFP2 masks provide the same level of protection. The only difference is the name, which differs depending on what part of the world you are in (N95 is the name given to these masks in the USA and FFP2 in the EU, including the UK). These masks have a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of up to 95%. FFP3 masks offer the highest level of protection, providing a filtration efficiency of up to 95%.

FFP2 masks are not designed to fit the face of a child. Children’s face masks are available, but they will not offer the same level of protection as medical grade masks.
A duckbill FFP2 mask has a shape that resembles the beak of a duck. They cover a larger surface area of the face and are suitable for those that wish to cover a large area of their face.
Valved FFP2 masks contain a small device embedded into the mask, which allow air to be expelled, without allowing air into the mask. They are best suited for those with breathing difficulties, who are unable to wear masks for prolonged periods of time. N95 masks with a valve provide protection to the wearer, but not to those around them.
You can buy an FFP2 or N95 mask from Chemist Click UK. We provide masks with certification from EU notified bodies. This means that they have been passed as fit for purpose by a regulated body.
Cup the respirator in your hand ensuring that the nose-piece is at the top and the headbands are hanging freely
Position the respirator under your chin with the nose-piece resting on the bridge of your nose
While holding the respirator in position, place one ear loop around one of your ears
Still holding the respirator, place the other ear loop around your free ear
Using both hands, adjust the malleable nose-piece so that it fits snugly against the bridge of your nose and face
Using a mirror, check to ensure that all of the edges provide a good seal around your face

Great protection. Covid outbreak in my office, I was the only one that didn't get it because of this mask.

By David Norrie (via TrustPilot)The masks fit very well (I was worried about this as others I'd bought elsewhere were too big) and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I have now bought more.
