Advantages of a Full-Face vs. Half-Face Respirator

1. A full-face respirator provides a higher level of protection (Assigned Protection Factor, APF) than a half-face respirator.  This is because of its inherently better sealing characteristics as it seals around the whole face rather than just around the nose and mouth.

   • APF rating for half mask respirators:  10

   • APF rating for a full face respirator:  50

2. Since a full-face respirator covers the eyes and face it protects against liquid splashes, irritating vapors and helps prevent spores and bacteria from entering through the eyes which can cause irritation and disease

3. Polycarbonate lens is rated as primary eye protection, this means you don't need to wear safety glasses.
