Anatomical-shape silicone half-mask designed to perfectly adapt to any face shape.
•
Expiration valve protected by cover.
•
Filter of different types that offer different protection levels:
▪
Gas filter type 901 ABEK against organic gas and vapours with boiling point
65°C, inorganic gas and vapours, acid
