Welding Fume & Vapour Respirator — HFM-W Welding Half Face Mask PAPR Gas System | AYO WX
The system includes everything to get started, but to save the trouble of buying new filters soon, we recommend buying some packs of spare filters to suit your working conditions and frequency of use.
Includes one AYO WX HEPA Filter – Gas + one gas cartridge of your choice.
Welding fume and organic vapour protection under your welding helmet
AYO WX HFM-W Gas is a welding half face mask PAPR for welding fumes plus organic vapours. Its low-profile mask fits under most common welding helmets, and the Gas main unit combines an A2 gas cartridge for Type A organic gases and vapours, such as solvents, with a boiling point above 65 °C with a HEPA particulate filter that captures welding fume particles.
It suits fabrication and boat-building workshops where welding happens alongside fibreglass, adhesive or solvent work, so one respirator covers welding fume and organic vapours such as styrene and toluene.
