Product Overview
The P350 FFP3 Dolomite Fold Flat Respirator is a vital solution for professionals operating in environments where high-level respiratory protection is mandatory. As an FFP3-rated mask, it provides the highest level of filtration against solid and liquid particles, ensuring your workforce remains protected against hazardous substances. This specific model is unvalved and features a vertical flat-fold design, allowing for compact storage and easy portability without sacrificing the structural integrity of the filter when in use.
Key Features
- FFP3 Level Protection: Provides an essential barrier against harmful particulates, offering peace of mind in high-risk environments.
- Dolomite Clogging Test (D) Compliance: These masks have passed the optional dolomite test, which ensures longer-lasting comfort and easier breathing resistance even in heavily dust-laden atmospheres.
- Individually Wrapped: Each mask is sealed in its own polybag, which maintains hygiene standards and prevents contamination before the mask is even worn.
- Adjustable Nose Clip: The integrated nose clip allows the wearer to create a bespoke seal around the bridge of the nose, which is critical for preventing leaks and improving overall comfort.
Design & Performance
Constructed from Polypropylene (PP) with a comfortable PU foam internal finish, the P350 is engineered for both durability and comfort. The vertical fold mechanism is more than just a space-saving feature; it allows the mask to expand into a generous cup shape that fits various face shapes securely. Because the mask is unvalved, it provides two-way protection, filtering both inhaled and exhaled air, which is often a requirement in specific clinical or clean-room settings.
The performance of this respirator is verified by its EN 149:2001 +A1:2009 certification. The lightweight nature of the materials ensures that the mask remains comfortable during extended shifts, reducing the urge for the wearer to adjust or remove the PPE in hazardous zones.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety as seriously as you do. We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific product because it is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification to the surface of the respirator would compromise the electrostatic properties of the filter material and could create micro-perforations, rendering the mask ineffective and invalidating its safety certifications.
Use Cases
These respirators are designed for use in industries where workers are exposed to fine dust, fibres, or water-based mists. This includes construction sites involving silica dust, woodworking, metalworking, and healthcare environments where FFP3 protection is the required standard for infection control. They are equally suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory work.

Practical Advice
To ensure maximum protection, a proper face-fit test should be conducted for all users. When fitting the mask, ensure that the elastic straps are positioned correctly—one at the crown of the head and one at the neck—rather than crossed over. If you wear glasses, the adjustable nose clip is particularly useful for reducing the fogging of lenses by directing exhaled air away from the eyes.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of respiratory protection is straightforward: these are single-use disposable items. They should be discarded immediately after a single shift or sooner if they become damaged, soiled, or if breathing becomes difficult due to particulate build-up. Do not attempt to wash or clean these masks with water or alcohol, as this will destroy the filtration efficiency of the Polypropylene material.
Store your masks in their original individual polybags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them in this manner ensures they remain free from dust and contaminants until the moment they are required for use. Proper disposal in accordance with local regulations for contaminated waste is advised after use.
