OVERVIEW

Reliable Respiratory Protection for Industrial Environments

The SAS Safety N95 Particulate Respirator is a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to safeguard workers against airborne particles. In industrial settings where grinding, sanding, sweeping, and bagging operations create hazardous dust, ensuring respiratory health is paramount. This respirator is NIOSH-approved to provide at least 95% filtration efficiency against certain non-oil-based particles, making it an industry-standard choice for facility safety managers and industrial hygienists seeking reliable compliance solutions.

Engineered for both performance and comfort, the mask features a lightweight construction that encourages worker compliance. Heavy or uncomfortable PPE often leads to improper usage or removal during shifts, compromising safety. This model addresses those concerns with a design that minimizes weight on the face while maintaining structural integrity. The outer shell is durable enough to resist collapsing, even in hot and humid work environments, ensuring that the breathing chamber remains open and effective throughout the duration of use.

A key feature of this N95 respirator is its adjustable metal nose clip. This component allows the wearer to mold the top of the mask to the specific contours of their nose, creating a secure seal that prevents leakage. A proper seal is essential for the mask to function according to its N95 rating. Additionally, the inclusion of a soft inner nose foam strip enhances comfort and helps to reduce the fogging of safety eyewear—a common issue that can obscure vision and create secondary safety hazards. The dual elastic head straps ensure the mask remains firmly in place, distributing tension evenly to avoid pressure points.

This product is strictly for use against particulate aerosols free of oil. It is not designed for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen or for protection against gases and vapors. Proper fit testing and training in accordance with OSHA standards are recommended to maximize the protective benefits of this respirator.

FAQ

N95 is a NIOSH certification rating that indicates the respirator filters at least 95% of airborne particles. The 'N' stands for 'Not resistant to oil,' meaning it is suitable for solid and liquid particulates that do not contain oil.

No, this is an N-series respirator, which is not resistant to oil. For environments with oil-based aerosols, you would require an R (Resistant) or P (Oil-Proof) rated respirator.

While it filters particulates, it does not filter gases or vapors. For welding, specifically involving toxic metals or coated steels, a P100 filter or a respirator specifically designed for welding fumes is often recommended, though N95s can help with general particulate matter generated during grinding.

Place the mask over your nose and mouth, pull the top strap over your head to the crown, and the bottom strap to the back of your neck. Mold the metal nose clip firmly against your nose and cheeks. Perform a user seal check by covering the mask with both hands and exhaling sharply to check for leaks.

Yes, the low-profile design of this N95 respirator typically allows it to be worn comfortably underneath standard welding helmets and face shields without obstruction.

No, this is a disposable respirator. It should be discarded when it becomes damaged, soiled, or when breathing resistance becomes difficult. It cannot be washed or cleaned.

It is designed with an adjustable nose clip and a foam strip to create a tight seal at the bridge of the nose, which significantly reduces the upward airflow that causes eyewear fogging.

Standard disposable N95 respirators typically have a shelf life of 3 to 5 years from the date of manufacture, provided they are stored in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
