The Respro® Allergy Mask has been developed with the hypersensitive individual in mind. Chemical and particle sensitivity for some people can be completely debilitating. The chemicals and particles that induce debilitating symptoms are not rare, but found in everyday items in everyday environments. Cleaning agents, perfumes, paint, cigarette smoke, pollen, animal dander, fabric softeners and washing powders, can all have a serious effect on well-being if you are sensitive to airborne chemical or particle matter. All the materials used in the Respro® Allergy mask are known to be inert and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. The mask material is ultra light-weight and air-permeable allowing the face to breathe easily; and is made from polyester. The Techno™ valves are made from Polypropylene with medical grade Silicon rubber diaphragms. The Hepa-Type™ filter, also made from Polypropylene, filters out fine respirable sub-micron dusts (less than 1micron in size). These positive aspects, combined with its performance and comfort, have resulted in the Respro® Allergy mask being given an ‘Allergy Friendly Product’ award from the British Allergy Foundation.
