RESPIRATORS
THE FRONTIER RANGE OF DISPOSABLE RESPIRATORY MASKS INCLUDES BOTH CUP SHAPED AND FOLD FLAT MODELS, DEPENDING ON USER PREFERENCE. All P1/P2 Frontier masks are certified to Australian Standards AS/NZS1716:2012 and suitable for filtering out most airborne hazards found in the workplace to provide a safe, comfortable and convenient solution. Frontier masks are maintenance free and designed for single use. This means they are fitted to start a work shift and discarded once the mask is removed on taking a break. A mask should be used for no more than 8 continuous hours. At any time, if breathing starts to become laboured, it is likely the mask is nearing particulate saturation and a new one should be fitted.

• Can be used for hand sanding, drilling, and cutting
• Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL): Protects against materials in concentrations 4 x limit
• Protection Factor: Protects against materials in concentrations 4 x limit.
PARTICULATE RATING P2 • Protects against moderate levels of dust. In addition to P1 (above), this includes asbestos, copper, barium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, hardwood, coal dust with free silica content exceeding 10%, mining industry, chemical industry, metallurgic industry (version with exhalation valve), hard woodworking
CUP STYLE Cup structure provides strength and resistance to flattening
• Protects against solid and liquid aerosols
• Higher protection than P1
• Retains about 94% of particles smaller than 0,5 micrometer
• Can be used for plastering and sanding
• Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL): Protects against materials in concentrations 12 x limit
• Protection Factor: Protects against materials in concentrations 10 x limit.
Note: These masks are not suitable for toxic atmospheres or those which are deficient in oxygen. In such cases you may need a half mask with separate and appropriate filters or a supplied air respirator.
