The NEO tools 97-350 half mask respirator is a reusable silicone facepiece designed to cover the nose and mouth and accept two separate cartridges or filters. Constructed from soft silicone, it provides an adjustable seal suitable for a range of industrial, maintenance and DIY applications when used with compatible cartridges. The dual cartridge ports allow selection of particulate filters, gas/vapour cartridges or combination elements to match specific hazards; cartridges are ordered separately.
Advantages
