Protects against solid and liquid particles of metal dust, fiberglass dust and powder polishing. Posesses independent exhalation valve.
These masks have been approved by INSPEC, UK and they meet the European standard En 149:2001 for FFP2 masks. This means that the respirators protect you against solid particles and water-based non-volatile liquid particles. Moreover also they have passed the dolomite.
The nominal protection factor is 12 and the protection assigned is 10. Respirators can be used in concentrations not exceeding 12 times the occupational exposure limits.
The Segre P2 mask has been proved in the following aspects: filtration, flammability, resistance to breathing, internal filter, and a general assessment test in accordance with the European standard that included the exposure of 120mg test.
The valve reduces the temperature, the condensation and the humidity inside the masks. It also facilitates the exhalation of the worker and therefore the mask offers less resistance to breathe.

Wearing a medical mask can help limit the spread of some respiratory disease. However, using a mask alone is not guaranteed to stop infections and should be combined with other prevention measures including hand and respiratory hygiene and avoiding close contact – at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people.
WHO advises on rational use of medical masks thus avoiding unnecessary wastage of precious resources and potential mis-use of masks (see Advice on the use of masks). This means using masks only if you have respiratory symptoms (coughing or sneezing), have suspected 2019-nCoV infection with mild symptoms or are caring for someone with suspected 2019-nCoV infection. A suspected 2019-nCoV infection is linked to travel in an area in China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or close contact with someone who has travelled from China and has respiratory symptoms.
