Full face mask for industrial cleaning and sanitising
Industrial cleaning uses concentrated products in spaces that are sometimes closed: commercial kitchens, cold rooms, public toilets, food plants. The commonest danger is not a product on its own but the wrong mixture.
Dangerous mixtures
Bleach with an acid (descalers) releases chlorine; bleach with ammonia releases chloramines. These irritant gases form in seconds in a closed toilet. The first protection is never mixing products and reading the label.
Fogging and misting
Misting disinfectants produces fine droplets: P3 stops them, the gas part holds the vapours. A full face mask also protects the eyes from the mist.
Formaldehyde
Spasciani makes a dedicated formaldehyde filter, the 205 A2B2E2K1 P3 R D Formaldeide. Choose it when the safety data sheet lists formaldehyde.
The filter to start from
ABEK2 P3Spasciani 203 A2B2E2K2P3
Chlorine (B), acid vapours (E), ammonia (K), solvents (A) and mists (P3): ABEK2 P3 covers every family met in sanitising.
The filter shown is a starting point: the substance's safety data sheet, and at work the risk assessment, have the final word.

Limits and warnings
- The filter does not replace ventilation: after sanitising, air the rooms before people go back in.
- Change the filter as soon as you smell the product inside the mask.
- With a beard the seal is not guaranteed.
