Protective Masks (Infection)

Two aspects determine the level of protection provided by a mask: the fit and the quality of the materials. Wetrok makes no compromises on either. We only sell tested and certified protective masks – stating the respective test standard on each product. Our Wetrok experts also subject every new Wetrok mask to a rigorous internal testing procedure (shape test, water test, filter layer test and fire test). You will find the following information printed on each mask: mask type, test standard(s), CE mark. You will also receive a certificate with further information on durability etc. with your mask. On request, we will of course be happy to provide you with more detailed test reports and answer any questions you may have concerning safety and quality:

The health authorities have recently reported that there are counterfeit masks in circulation. These have no test certificates, insufficient filter efficiency, may contain hazardous materials and may have been produced under questionable hygiene conditions. In short: They are ineffective and unfit for use. It is therefore important to look carefully when buying masks!

Protective masks serve two basic functions: They protect the wearer and/or their surroundings. Wetrok offers two different types of protective mask for different applications:

FFP2 respirators protect against aerosols, dust and smoke. In times of pandemic, FFP2 respirators provide particularly good protection against virus transmission. In contrast to medical face masks, type FFP2 (and FFP3) respirators protect both the wearer AND their surroundings.

Safety information: Respirators with a valve do NOT protect the surroundings, as any viruses are released back into the air through the exhalation valve and allowed to spread when the wearer exhales.

-> Wetrok FFP2 respirators are therefore NOT equipped with an exhalation valve..

FFP2 masks offer maximum safety and can be worn for a longer period of time than medical masks. FFP2 masks are – when used correctly – also recommended for cleaning staff who are in contact with COVID-19-infected persons or working in contaminated rooms.

This mask offers two unbeatable features for maximum comfort:

Supple nose bridge: The nose bridge is covered with a soft, skin-friendly foam insert, making it more comfortable, better fitting and more resistant to wear – especially for those who wear glasses.

Flexible fastening: You can use the elastic bands to fasten the mask behind your ears, or use the plastic clip provided to fasten it behind your head. If you experience any pinching or discomfort, you can simply switch to the other fastening method.

You will never want to do without these features again!

1. When putting on your mask, only touch the mask after washing or disinfecting your hands.
2. Only touch the mask by the elastic bands.
3. Make sure the mask fully covers the mouth, nose and chin.
4. Make sure the mask fits snugly (practice putting it on in front of a mirror).
5. If you wear glasses; first put on the mask, then your glasses.
6. Tie back long hair to prevent the mask from slipping.

7. While wearing the mask, continue to practice good hand hygiene and keep a safe distance from others.
8. Do not touch the mask while wearing it.
9. Once you have put on the mask, do not take it off (including pulling it down under your chin).
10. If your mask becomes wet, replace it with a clean, dry mask (after approx. two hours).
11. After taking off the mask, dispose of it in a sealed container.
12. Wash or disinfect your hands after taking off the mask.

One last tip: Never throw masks carelessly on the ground and never leave them lying in public spaces (deadly hazard for wildlife and high impact on the environment).
