BLS 2600next PAPR - to win against respiratory resistance This powered air purifying respirator is the ideal solution for heavy-duty tasks, as it eliminates respiratory effort thanks to the constant flow of air inside the mask.

Why protect against gases and vapours? The severity of exposure to gases and vapours can vary from acute to chronic and the effect on respiratory health depends on the magnitude, duration of exposure and the specific agent. In 1984, the release of methyl isocyanate from a chemical plant in Bhopal, India, killed more than 2000 people.

What happens during painting operations? As always, the variables are many and complex to analyse: the extent of the health consequences of painting operations depends on the type of paint used, the application techniques and the level of exposure suffered by people.

Play it safe: try BLS filters with universal connection! The threaded connection is standardized according to EN 148-1 and is compatible with other respiratory protective devices on the market.
