Characteristics
The "Classic
+
Series of FFP's" from Moldex first introduced the
patented DuraMesh
®
-Design and the Ventex
®
-Valve.
The DuraMesh
®
shell ensures optimum shape retention and durability,
and therefore protection, far superior to that of unsupported filtering
facepieces.
The Ventex
®
-Valve uses low pressure valve technology to optimise air
flow, reducing the temperature, moisture vapour and exhaled carbon
dioxide inside the mask.

Construction / Materials
The Moldex Classic
+
Series of FFP's have a common design based on
the DuraMesh
®
technologies.
The respirator is made of:
- Filter Layer
= Polypropylene
- Inner Shell
= Polypropylene
- DuraMesh
®
Shell = Polypropylene
- Head Strap
= Natural Rubber
- Ventex
®
-Valve
= Natural Rubber

Testing
The Moldex Classic
+
Series of FFP respirators have been tested to
EN149: 2001 and fulfill all requirements of the relevant categories.
·
Total inward leakage
Ten test subjects wearing respirators perform a variety of exercises on a
tread mill. During the exercises the amount of test aerosol that
penetrates the filter, face seal and valve (if provided) are sampled. In
the different categories the total inward leakage of 8 out of 10 test
subjects shall not exceed the following levels:
CATEGORY
MAX. TOTAL INWARD LEAKAGE
FFP1D
22 %
FFP2D
8 %
Certification
The Moldex Classic
+
Series of FFP's meet the requirements of
EN149: 2001 and are CE-Marked in accordance with the requirements
of European Directive 89/686/EEC. The Berufsgenossenschaftliche
Institut für Arbeitssicherheit (BGIA) in St. Augustin in Germany is the
body responsible for both type examination (Article 10) and
monitoring of production (Article 11).
The products are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified plant.
