The SHIGEMATSU Half Face Single Valve Reusable Respirator TW01SC provides protection against particulates and a variety of toxic gases and vapors when used with the appropriate cartridges and filters. The simple design provides comfort and convenience to the wearer as it barely leaves marks on the face, and lessens strain as it is extremely lightweight. Being made by a Japanese company, it is also suitable for Asian faces. This remarkably comfortable, soft, lightweight facepiece also has easy-to-adjust head straps allow for a customized fit to the user, as well as a practical and simple fastener to lock the facepiece when it is donned. Replaceable cartridges help reduce waste and costs over time for users; using a reusable respirator everyday is far more cost-efficient than using a disposable N95 mask everyday, for lines of work that require daily respiratory protection, such as occupations in the healthcare, manufacturing, painting, or pesticide industry. This half face respirator may be used with SHIGEMATSU TW Filters, and T and X Gas Cartridges to protect against a variety of gases, vapors, and particulate hazards. Be wary of workplace hazards as breathing hazardous particles, gases and vapors, especially long-term, can be harmful to your health. Key Features

Features

Fit Test

• A fit test must be performed to ensure that the respirator does not have any air leaks, which can lead to the wearer's inhalation of unwanted particles and/or aerosols. The TW01SC is equipped with its own fit checker.

It is advisable to do a fit test before wearing the TW01SC and entering your workplace to ensure that you are maximizing the protection your reusable respirator has to offer, and that you are mostly safe from your respiratory workplace hazards. A good fit means the respirator will seal your skin and close any passages where air can pass through. A respirator is only mostly effective when inhaled air passes through the filter. Since air takes the path of least resistance, a loosely or poorly fit respirator with air leakages will have air pass through these air leakages instead of the filter, which increases your risk of inhaling respiratory hazards you are exposed to.
