Buying PPE for Coronavirus has become many business’ primary concern when it comes to reopening offices and workspaces. The challenge has been knowing which masks to buy for who and what the differences between the many options are. This is what makes Essential Workwear one of the UK’s premier Covid 19 saftey product suppliers; we make it as simple for you as possible.

Our type IIR surgical facemasks are an ideal choice for workers who will be exposed to hazardous areas but not nessecarily direct contact with an infected individual. These type IIR masks are a step up from the more common 3 ply safety masks thanks to their far more complex construction. The outer layer of the mask is made of polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric, which effectively blocks visible objects such as droplets. Inside this we have melt blown fabrics that filter non-oil particles from the air, and inside this another layer of polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric that captures hot air from the body and keeps the skin dry and comfortable.

With the familiar pleated face, elastic ear straps and adjustable nose piece these masks are easy to get to grips with, and provide an effective barrier against the spread of COVID-19.
