As the Coronavirus pandemic has continued, face masks have become ubiquitous across the world. It seems that today, a mask is required in most indoor areas no matter where you go. That’s why, especially in the UK, it’s important to understand why a mask is required. What about the mask on your face keeps you safe? Read on:

Here at Buy Any Gloves, we stock Type IIR Face Masks. A.K.A EN14683, these high-grade, multi-purpose masks were designed to prevent large particles from reaching patients or working surfaces in a medical scenario. Type IIR Face masks have a 4 ply construction that includes a splash-resistant layer to protect against fluids such as blood. We believe Type IIR Masks are the best balance between comfort and safety.

Safety

Type IIR masks come with a solid set of safety implementations for a lightweight material. The blue-tinted splash resistant layer is designed to keep most bodily fluids out. This is ideal in the current pandemic, where cough droplets can lead to multiple infections. A thin metal strip is fitted in the top band of the mask and can be bent to conform to the shape of your nose for a tight but comfortable fit that helps keep germs out.

Comfort

As aforementioned, the metal strip placed at the top provides a contourable mask. Thanks to this moulded fit, the mask provides no discomfort upon extensive wear. The material over the mouth is breathable and lightweight – barely noticeable on the face. Whilst an FFP3 Respirator may provide a more comprehensive cover against contamination, with social distancing measures in place a type IIR mask is far more comfortable and just as safe at a two-metre distance.

Price

With some other masks you see on the market – sometimes price and quality don’t seem to align. Some masks seem flimsy or uncomfortable at high prices. When it comes to masks, those made to specification are typically the best. Our Type IIR masks are disposable, ensuring fresh quality and hygiene on every wear. The simple elasticated string design is comfortable and secure, and perfect for extended use. At just 75p per mask, you’re guaranteed excellent quality at an affordable price.
