North Safety Products has introduced the CFR-1, a particulate respirator that combines a reusable half mask with formed, disposable filters. The reusable elastomer facepiece is comfortable and provides an excellent sealing surface. The disposable filters do not come in contact with the face, so they are protected from sweat and moisture and generally last for an entire day. The CFR-1 features a built-in exhalation valve to remove exhaled air for cooler and easier breathing and an inhalation valve to keep the filter dry and allow the user to perform a positive pressure-seal check. It has an adjustable harness system to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The respirators are approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
