This full face respirator covers the eyes, nose and mouth in one mask. It is made for use during oxalic acid vaporization, when the vapor can irritate or damage the eyes and airways. The integrated visor means no separate goggles are needed, and it can be worn with glasses.
The mask is fitted with cartridges rated for Acid Gases and Organic Vapors. They filter the vapor before it reaches the airway. The full face design seals around the entire face, so vapor does not get past the filters, even during longer treatments or in awkward positions around a hive.
Before each use, do a seal check. Cover the exhalation valve and exhale gently to check for leaks. Then cover the cartridges and inhale to confirm the mask draws in and holds its seal. If you cannot get a proper seal, do not proceed. If you taste or smell oxalic acid, or if breathing becomes difficult, the cartridges are saturated and must be replaced right away.
