What is the difference between an FFP1, FFP2 and an FFP3 dust respirator?

Answer: 

Simply, an FFP3 will offer greater protection than FFP2 and FFP1.
An FFP1 has an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 4, FFP2 has an APF of 10 and an FFP3 has an APF of 20.

Selection of the most appropriate respirator depends on the contaminant and Occupational Exposure Level (OEL) and guidance should always be sought. You can use our Respirator Selector Guide for initial guidance but please contact us direct for more specific information.
