ESCO Disposable Dust Masks
Disposable dust masks are masks used to prevent inhalation of dust or other particles. They are disposable products that can be discarded when dirty, so ensure sanitary use. Cup-shaped masks are the most common type. They make it easy to breathe and talk with the mask on, and are important accessories at worksites with airborne particles. Masks that provide heavier-duty protection from particles are also available. Examples include models with internal frames, and models with exhalation valves that can be worn for long periods. Disposable dust masks are often made with cushioning materials, and are known for having features designed to maximize user comfort. Some models can be folded up and carried. Since particles can be a health hazard if inhaled, masks that can provide reliable protection against them are needed. Dust masks that satisfy national standards should be selected for some worksites.
