Respirator with valve Active Gear R31 FFP3 — model R31, valve-equipped, high filtration protection

Active Gear R31 FFP3 respirator with valve is a high-filtration protective mask designed to cover the nose and mouth and reduce inhalation of airborne particles. Constructed for single-use or limited reuse depending on contamination and storage, the R31 model combines a close facial fit with a molded cup shape and an integrated exhalation valve to lower breathing resistance during extended wear. The mask meets FFP3‑level filtration requirements and is intended for environments where maximum particulate protection is necessary.

Advantages

The Active Gear R31 offers high filtration efficiency against fine dust, aerosols and other particulate matter while the exhalation valve reduces heat and moisture buildup inside the mask, improving wearer comfort during longer tasks. The molded design ensures a reliable seal around the nose and mouth, and the adjustable nose clip helps maintain fit. Lightweight materials and soft inner layers minimize skin irritation during use.

Suitable for

• Industrial and construction sites with high particulate load
• Environments with fine dust, metal or mineral aerosols
• Medical triage and situations requiring high filtration of airborne particles
• Laboratory and research settings where particulate containment is needed
• General use where maximum respiratory protection from particulates is required

Key specifications

• Protection class: FFP3-level filtration against solid and liquid aerosols
• Design: molded cup shape for consistent face seal
• Exhalation valve: integrated valve to reduce breathing resistance and moisture
• Fit features: adjustable nose clip and elastic head straps for secure positioning
• Usage type: single-use or limited reuse subject to contamination and manufacturer guidance
• Materials: multi-layer nonwoven filtration media with soft inner lining

How to use

Before use, inspect the respirator for visible damage or contamination. Place the mask over the nose and mouth, position the elastic straps around the head, and adjust the nose clip to obtain a snug fit without gaps. Perform a user seal check by exhaling and inhaling gently; if air leaks are detected, reposition the mask and straps until a proper seal is achieved. Replace the respirator if it becomes damaged, wet, visibly soiled, or if breathing resistance increases significantly. Follow local protocols and manufacturer guidance for limited reuse, storage and disposal.

Usage recommendations

Use the Active Gear R31 in accordance with workplace safety regulations and risk assessments. The valve improves comfort but may not be suitable where source control of exhaled air is required; select a non-valved mask if containment of exhaled particles is critical. Replace the respirator immediately after exposure to hazardous contaminants or when fit and performance are compromised.
