Air Purifying Respirators (APR) provide workers with respiratory protection from harsh environments. These masks, also known as a gas mask, full face mask, half face mask and full face respirator, function similarly to the disposable respirator, however, they are much more versatile. Conney offers the 3M respirators, North respirators, MSA respirators and Sperian respirators in many different sizes.
APR respirator masks filter through negative pressure, meaning that when you breathe in the mask, negative pressure is applied to the face. This distinction is important as all supplied air respirator and powered air respirators operate under a positive pressure environment, so the air is blown into the mask through the filter.
APR's come in two different styles: half face mask and full face mask. Both operate in the same manner, but you gain face and eye protection by using the full face respirator mask.
In many workplace environments there are risks of chemical splashes or irritating vapors that can hurt workers eyes and a full face respirator model will fully protect you from any of these threatening situations.
