FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

01: What Portwest masks do you sell?

Our Portwest masks range includes disposable FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 dust masks in valved and unvalved versions, fold-flat designs, a carbon-layer FFP2 for odours, the Vancouver half mask and the Vienna and Zurich full face masks. Reusable masks use Portwest filters, so match the filter to the hazard.

02: Which Portwest dust mask do I need: P100, P200 or P301?

In the Portwest range, the first digit shows the grade: P1 codes such as the P100 are FFP1 for nuisance dust, P2 codes such as the P200 are FFP2 for many fine dusts and mists, and the P301 is FFP3 for higher-risk hazards. Where a code ends in 1, such as P201, the mask has a valve. Match the grade to your risk assessment.

03: Which Portwest mask is best for welding fume?

For welding fume, choose an FFP3 mask such as the Portwest P301, which filters at least 99% of particles including metal fume. The P223 carbon FFP2 adds a carbon layer that helps with nuisance odours but isn’t a substitute for gas protection. Check your COSHH assessment, as some welding work needs more than a disposable mask.

04: Portwest fold-flat vs cup-style face masks: what’s the difference?

Portwest fold-flat masks, such as the P250 and P251, fold flat so they are compact to carry and store, and open out to fit the face. Cup-style masks, such as the P200 and P201, hold their shape and are quick to put on. Both are FFP2 masks, so choose the style that fits your face and passes fit testing.

05: Which Portwest mask is best for DIY, sanding and woodwork?

For general sanding and DIY, an FFP2 mask such as the Portwest P200 or fold-flat P250 suits many jobs. Use an FFP3, such as the P301, for hardwood dust, MDF or long jobs in dusty spaces. Pick a valved model for comfort over longer wear, check the dust involved, and wear eye protection.

06: Which filters fit the Portwest P420 Vancouver half mask?

The Portwest P420 Vancouver is a reusable half mask that takes Portwest’s P9-series filters, including particle, gas and combination types. Choose the filter class for your hazard, such as P3 for fine dust or A1 for organic vapours, and check the listing confirms compatibility. Replace filters when breathing becomes harder or you taste contaminants.

07: What is the Portwest Vienna full face mask?

The Portwest Vienna P500 is a reusable full face mask with an integral visor that protects eyes, nose and mouth. It takes replaceable Portwest filters, so you choose particle, gas or combination filters for your hazard. A Portwest full face mask gives a higher protection factor than a half mask, and each wearer needs a face fit test.

08: Is there a Portwest medical face mask in your range?

Not in this range. The Portwest masks on this page are FFP respirators for dust, mist and fume at work, tested to EN 149. Medical or surgical face masks are tested to EN 14683 (Type I, II or IIR) and mainly protect others from the wearer’s breath. If you need a medical face mask, check for EN 14683 or see our surgical masks range.

09: How many masks are in a Portwest box?

Portwest disposable masks are sold in boxes of 10, 20 or 50, depending on the model. For example, the P200 FFP2 comes in 20, the P201 valved FFP2 in 10 and the P301 FFP3 in 10. Divide the price by the box quantity to compare cost per mask fairly.

10: Are Portwest masks certified, and how can I tell?

Portwest FFP masks should be certified to EN 149 and carry CE or UKCA marking with a notified or approved body number. Look for the FFP grade, standard and batch code printed on the mask, and keep the packaging. Buy from a reputable stockist, and don’t use masks with missing or unclear markings.
