Silicone rubber is used in a wide variety of product applications, from the industrial and medical sectors to many everyday products.
BLS uses it throughout its premium range of reusable products as an alternative to thermoplastic rubber.
Silicones are polymers, which are large molecules composed of many repeated subunits. These polymers consist of siloxane - a chain of silicon atoms alternating with oxygen atoms, often combined with carbon and/or hydrogen. Silicon is an element found in sand, from which it is extracted and passed through hydrocarbons.
Compared to other elastomers, silicone rubber offers some specific advantages and BLS employs them in the production of high quality products designed for any profession that requires extreme respiratory protection with a full or half mask.
Our full face mask from BLS 5000 b-lock and universal series features a silicone facepiece both in the version with thermoplastic rubber gasket (BLS 5600 and 5150) and with silicone gasket (BLS 5700 and 5400), because when covering nose and mouth it is even more important to have a material that can guarantee a high degree of moisture protection and better performance in terms of stability and durability.
What are all the advantages of this special material?
Protect yourself with quality products only.
Your health matters.
Our experience in the production of respiratory protection devices makes us give an affirmative answer. Probably also in the case of 2019-nCoV, and with high probability in the less aggressive Coronaviruses, more common in our country.
With a filtering capacity of more than 94% for FFP2 and more than 99% for FFP3, the new BLS 502 and BLS 503 masks are DPI without valves, CE certified according to European regulation 2016/425 and technical standard EN 149: 2001, able to protect users in the event of exposure to solid and/or liquid non-volatile particles (dust, fumes, mists) and to block the dispersion of viruses both incoming and outgoing. They are, in fact, sealed on the face and manufactured with a "welding” process, without seams and perforations on the fabric from which micro particles could pass, thus creating a barrier during exhaling, protecting the environment from the user of the mask. These masks are therefore ideal for use in the food & beverage and medical sectors, as well as in all work environments where contamination by the user must be avoided.
Istruzioni d'indossamento | Serie BLS 8000next Indossare un DPI nel modo corretto è fondamentale per trarne massima efficacia e migliori performance di prodotto. La protezione respiratoria individuale ha lo scopo di difendere chi la utilizza da sostanze nocive o agenti patogeni presenti nell'aria. Prima di utilizzarla, è fondamentale ricevere un'adeguata formazione sul corretto metodo di […]
