BLS masks in silicone and TPE offer different characteristics of resistance and comfort. Find out which material is best suited for you, with details on durability, strength and safety.
When it comes to respiratory protection masks, material is a key factor in determining comfort, durability and resistance. BLS masks are made of two main materials: silicone and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer).
But what are the real differences between these two materials and how do they affect mask performance?
Silicone is a popular material for its softness and pleasantness of touch, which contribute to comfort during prolonged use. In addition, silicone offers great formability, retaining its shape even under heavy use. This material is particularly resistant to high temperatures and aggressive organic compounds, such as solvents. For this reason, silicone masks are ideal in working environments where protection against chemicals and heat is a priority.
Products available in Silicone:
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) has a slightly less soft surface than silicone, but offers significant advantages in terms of cost and mouldability. It is a cheaper material than silicone due to its ability to be easily moulded. In addition, TPE is highly resistant to acids and bases, making it an excellent choice for industrial environments where these substances are commonly present. Another positive aspect of TPE is its recyclability, making it a more sustainable solution than other plastics.
Products available in TPE:
Both the silicone and TPE used in BLS masks have been tested for safety and skin compatibility. Both materials have passed rigorous hypoallergenicity tests, ensuring that the masks are safe even for those with sensitive skin.
Choosing between a silicone mask and a TPE mask depends on your specific needs.
If you are looking for a material that offers superior comfort, resistance to high temperatures and a longer lifespan, silicone may be the best choice.
If you need a more economical solution that is easily recyclable and has good resistance to acids and bases, TPE may be the right choice for you.
In both cases, BLS masks offer protection and safety to the highest standards.
