RPE range protects field-workers, medical staff and carers.
The Profile2 half mask Agri-Pak is designed to be quick fit, unobtrusive and comfortable to wear for long periods and provides protection against a wide range of airborne contaminates, including gases and vapours.
The Profile2 Agri-Pak provides a ready to wear cost effective RPE package including one Profile2 half mask and two Pro2 A2P3 filters to protect against hazards such as mould and asthmatic agents; dust from hay, grain handling and livestock's; mixing/spraying fertilisers and pesticides; and general farm maintenance work.
The Scott Profile half mask is available in three sizes and its soft, odourless hypo-allergenic TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) facepiece moulds to the contours of the face for an efficient fit and eliminates skin irritations or allergic reactions.
The lightweight Profile half mask provides exceptionally low breathing resistance which significantly reduces wearer fatigue, is easy to clean and maintain and offers the user low through-life costs.
The masks can be cleaned between uses with Trigene, an antiviral and antibacterial cleaning solution available in liquid form or as impregnated wipes.
The head harness incorporates an adjustable comfort cradle and neck buckle that distributes weight evenly, preventing head movement from interfering with the faceseal and avoids the straps feeling tight.
This coupled with simplicity of adjust and the mask's intuitive donning process, promotes high wearer acceptance.
A central exhalation grill allows for clear and audible speech transmission.
The low profile design and swept back filters provide balance, an unobstructed field of vision and crucially, compatibility with other forms of Personal Protective Equipment.
A hygiene storage bag is supplied with every mask, to protect and extend the products life and aid easy user identification.
