FFP3 Face Mask Up to 99% protection

What are FFP3 Face Masks?

FFP3 masks are filtering facepiece respirators. They are designed to protect the wearer by filtering fine airborne particles before they are breathed in.

They offer a higher level of filtration than FFP1 and FFP2 masks, making them suitable for situations where stronger respiratory protection is needed. This can include clinical settings, dusty environments, high-risk cleaning tasks and personal protection in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces.

FFP3 masks may be used in healthcare, workplace, cleaning, travel and higher-risk indoor environments. They may also be chosen by people who want stronger respiratory protection in situations where exposure to airborne particles may be more likely, including during COVID precautions or when cleaning areas where contaminated dust, such as rodent droppings linked with Hantavirus risk, may be present.

What are FFP3 masks used for?

FFP3 face masks may be used for:

• Healthcare and clinical environments
• Dental and medical settings
• Workplace dust and fine particle exposure
• Cleaning dusty or contaminated areas
• DIY and construction work
• Public transport and travel
• Busy indoor spaces
• Higher-risk personal protection

They are commonly chosen when a standard face covering or surgical mask does not provide enough respiratory protection.

Benefits of FFP3 face masks

• High-level filtration
• Better protection than surgical masks
• Suitable for higher-risk environments
• Secure face fit
• Comfortable protection

FFP3 vs FFP2 masks

FFP2 and FFP3 masks are both respirators, but FFP3 masks provide a higher level of protection. 

FFP2 masks are suitable for many general protection needs, including reducing exposure to dust, droplets and airborne particles. FFP3 masks are designed for higher-risk settings where stronger filtration is preferred. 

If you are looking for the highest level of disposable respiratory protection, FFP3 masks are usually the better choice. 

FFP3 masks vs surgical masks

FFP3 masks and surgical masks work differently.

Surgical masks are mainly designed to reduce the spread of droplets and protect against splashes. They are loose-fitting, which means air can leak around the sides.

FFP3 masks are designed to filter fine airborne particles and fit more securely to the face. This makes them more suitable where the wearer needs a higher level of protection from airborne particles.

When should you replace an FFP3 mask?

FFP3 masks should be replaced if they become damp, dirty, damaged, contaminated, difficult to breathe through or no longer fit securely.

Most disposable FFP3 masks are designed for single use unless the manufacturer specifically states otherwise. Always follow the product instructions.

Who should use FFP3 masks?

FFP3 masks may be suitable for healthcare workers, dental professionals, carers, people working around fine dust, those cleaning contaminated areas, or anyone who wants higher-filtration respiratory protection.

If you have breathing difficulties, a heart or lung condition, or are unsure whether an FFP3 mask is suitable for you, speak to a healthcare professional before use.
