Product Overview
Respiratory protection is a critical component of workplace safety, and the P956 A2P3 Combination Filter is designed for those who require high-level defence against complex hazards. These filters are engineered to work seamlessly with full-face masks that utilise a standard DIN threaded connection, ensuring a secure and airtight fit for the wearer. Breathing is, generally speaking, a habit worth maintaining, and this combination filter provides the technical assurance needed when working in environments where air quality is compromised by more than just a bit of dust.
Key Features
- Universal DIN Thread: Conforming to EN 148-1, this threaded connection ensures the filter can be used across a wide range of compliant full-face masks, providing versatility for your respiratory protection equipment.
- A2 Gas Classification: As a Class 2 filter for gases, it offers robust protection against organic vapours and solvents with a boiling point higher than 65°C.
- P3 Particle Classification: This represents the highest level of particle filtration, designed to capture toxic particles and micro-organisms that would bypass lower-rated equipment.
- Durable ABS Housing: The filter media is encased in a sturdy ABS plastic shell, providing structural integrity and resistance to impact during rigorous manual tasks.
- Pack of Four: Supplied in a pack of four, ensuring your team has immediate access to replacement filters to maintain continuous safety standards.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of the P956 is defined by its dual-action filtration. It is not merely a dust filter; it is a sophisticated barrier against both gaseous and particulate threats. The Class 2 gas rating indicates a higher absorption capacity than basic filters, making it suitable for environments with higher concentrations of harmful vapours. The Class 3 particle rating ensures that even the finest harmful substances are effectively captured within the media.
Constructed with an ABS body, the filter is substantial and robust without being unnecessarily cumbersome. The integration of the DIN thread ensures that once the filter is attached to a mask, the connection is mechanical and reliable, reducing the risk of accidental detachment or seal failure during movement.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety as seriously as you do. This A2P3 Combination Filter is a precision-engineered piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that must comply with strict EN standards. We do not offer customisation, such as printing or engraving, on this item because any modification could compromise the structural integrity of the ABS housing or interfere with the airflow through the filter media. To ensure your safety and the validity of the product's certifications, this item is sold exclusively in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
This filter is specifically intended for professionals working in industrial environments where hazardous gases and fine particles are present. It is an ideal choice for chemical processing, industrial spray painting, laboratory work involving solvents, and sectors dealing with biological hazards or micro-organisms. It is designed for use only with full-face masks that feature the standardised EN 148-1 connection.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a specialist in the industry since 1976. Operating from our base in Telford, we have spent decades refining our expertise in both custom-branded workwear and technical PPE. We understand that while a logo is important for your brand, the technical specifications of your safety equipment are what keep your team protected. We source only high-quality, compliant hardware to ensure your business remains safe and operational.
Practical Advice
Before deployment, always verify that your full-face mask features the matching DIN 40mm thread (EN 148-1). When fitting the filter, ensure it is screwed in firmly but do not over-tighten, as this could damage the mask's seal. It is essential to conduct a seal check every time the mask and filter are donned to ensure no contaminated air can bypass the filtration system.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your respiratory filters is vital for continued protection. Filters should always be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. We recommend keeping the filters in their original, sealed packaging until the moment they are required; exposing the filter media to the atmosphere prematurely can reduce its effective lifespan by allowing it to absorb ambient moisture and vapours.
Inspect the threaded connection and the ABS housing before every use. If the housing is cracked or the thread is damaged, the filter must be discarded immediately, as any compromise in the structure will allow harmful substances to reach the wearer. Never attempt to clean a filter with water or compressed air, as this will destroy the internal filtration media and render the product useless.
