Each job that stirs up dust and particulates calls for respiratory protection. Numerous people think respirators are necessary basically for recognized hazards such as lead, asbestos, chemicals, and gases, but all categories of airborne particles can aggravate the lungs and cause breathing distress.

For instance, you are supposed to wear a respirator when welding, machining metal, quarrying stone, mixing cement, handling lime, working in a mine, bagging dusty construction waste, or cleaning under conditions where allergens or excessive dust are present. Many people, however, are reluctant to wear respirators, even for their own security.

People often think of respirators as awkward. Current respirators are a far cry from the dinosaurs of the past, however. Moldex is a leader in offering safe, comfortable respiratory protection for a variety of conditions. In fact, they constantly refine their products to offer you state of the art respirators that provide outstanding filtration and such ultimate comfort that you will forget you are wearing it!

Moldex respirators come in a wide variety. The 2307 N95 low profile respirator is an perfect representative. This model features an exhale valve, making it the right choice for hot, humid dusty conditions where oil is not present.
