Introducing the all new GVS Respiratory Mask range!

What is so special about the GVS Respiratory Masks and Filters? 

Well GVS have used a revolutionary design to make their masks compact, lightweight and flexible. The GVS respiratory masks adapt and fit perfectly to the face and offer a full range of vision without interfering with other eye or ear protection (very important as many masks do interfere) which users are required to wear.

Large central non-return valve means lower breathing resistance for the user and keeps moisture build-up inside the mask to a minimum. Lightweight, non-slip strap that is easily adjusted in 4 positions for improved comfort and to allow safe use even in high humidity or wet conditions.

The most common respirator in the GVS range is the Elipse P3 Respirator – 

• Properties

In particular, protects against coal, silica, cotton, iron ore, graphite, kaolin, zinc, aluminium dusts. Protects against harmful dusts such as asbestos, bauxite, coal, silica, iron, and against toxic dusts such as manganese, lead and chromium. Pleated, interchangeable P3 filters have a minimum efficiency of 99,95% at 0,3 microns and a breathing resistance of 3 mbar at a flow rate of 47,5 l/min for each filter.

Replacement PreFilter Kits are available for these Masks, they come in a kit of 2x Holders and 10x PreFilters.

Another unique design to GVS is their sturdy and once again compact Carry Case.

A perfect place to store your mask and increase the life of the filters, because if a Respirator is sitting in your van or any other environment where there may be dust or fumes the filters will keep working thus shortening the life span of the filter.

Another great option in the GVS range is the Elipse A1P3 Respirator Kit –

The gas cartridges contain specific activated carbon granules with optimised characteristics such as pore size, grain size, activity level, density etc, which provide a maximum adsorption performance and a really low breathing resistance. Each respirator is supplied pre-fitted with two gas or combined gas & particulate cartridge filters for the protection against a range of gases, vapours, dust and mists. Once the cartridges are finished, they can be replaced with new filters.
