How do I find the right filter?

Pollutants can occur in different forms, as aerosols (particles or droplets), as gases or vapours. Depending on the form, you need to protect yourself against one of these types or a mixture of them.

          ? Aerosols (particles): Dusts, fibres, fumes, microorganisms (e.g. viruses, bacteria, fungi and their spores) and mists.

          ? Gaseous substances: gases or vapours

The following table shows the colour coding of the filters according to EN 14387, which will help you to choose the right type of filter for use against your pollutant.

Values and calculations have been taken from EN529:2005 and BGR 190. Other national or local regulations must be observed. AGWs were taken as the limit values here. Here, the time-weighted average values over a reference period apply and no short-term limit values.

AX-Filter may only be used in the condition in which they were delivered (fresh from the factory). Reuse and use against gas mixtures is absolutely prohibited.

CO-Filter may only be used once and must be disposed of after use. Instructions according to local guidelines must be followed.

Hg-Filter may only be used for a maximum of 50 hours according to EN14387.

NO-Filter may only be used once and must be disposed of after use.

Reaktor-Filter Instructions according to local guidelines must be followed.

Differentiation of filter types

Filters are divided into different classes according to their capacity (gas filters) or their efficiency (particle filters). Class 2 gas filters may be used at higher concentrations or for longer periods than class 1 filters. The class of particle filters indicates how efficiently the filter filters particles out of the ambient air (class 1: 80 %, class 2: 94 %, class 3: 99.95 %).
