The filter material is the fundamental component that determines how respirators with valves work. - When inhaling, the **air** is **drawn through the filter material** and cleaned of pollutants, aerosols and particles. - When **you exhale, the valve opens and allows the warm, CO2-rich air to escape without resistance**. - This reduces breathing resistance and makes breathing much easier – a significant **advantage over masks without valves**. In this context, it is also essential to explain the function of the exhalation valve: - The valve on respirators has the task **of quickly and efficiently directing exhaled air to the outside**. - This **reduces** the **moisture inside the protective mask with an exhalation valve**, which improves **wearer comfort**, especially for **long periods of time**. - It also keeps the mask **dry and hygienic for longer**. Useful benefits: These are the advantages of respirators with valves Respirators with valves offer **noticeable advantages** over models without valves, especially when the respirator is worn for **long periods of time** and **physical exertion** is involved. They **make breathing easier** and increase wearer comfort in demanding work environments. See for yourself what advantages respirators with valves offer: 1. Reduced breathing resistance 2. Less moisture build-up 3. Greater wearer comfort during long periods of use 4. Less heat build-up inside 5. Improved hygiene thanks to a drier mask surface These advantages make respiratory protection with a valve the ideal choice **for anyone who has to work under stressful conditions for long periods of time**. ![Benefits of respiratory masks with exhalation vale](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/jPozIB4FFtEVggc0EkK-O1f-Q-INcQQdgPNbZKc0Jq0/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtYXRlbXNjaHV0em1hc2tlbi1taXQtYXVzYXRlbXZlbnRpbC12b3J0ZWlsZV83ZjhmMzgxN2Nm:t/cb:0acac6a93fca94db0886c3834961b0d3f8fd0417/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQXRlbXNjaHV0ei9BdXNhdGVtdmVudGlsL3V2ZXgtYXRlbXNjaHV0em1hc2tlbi1taXQtYXVzYXRlbXZlbnRpbC12b3J0ZWlsZS5qcGc_MTc4MzMzMjc0MA) Mechanism with comfort: the benefits of the exhalation valve The use of **respirators with exhalation valves** is primarily based on the **noticeably higher wearer comfort**. This is particularly true for longer periods of use. The valve **reduces exhalation resistance**, ensures **less heat and moisture build-up** and **thus facilitates the entire breathing process** without affecting the filter performance. - The actual **filtering effect** is achieved exclusively **by the multi-layer filter material**, which reliably removes particles and pollutants from the air you breathe. Both models with and without valves therefore meet identical protection requirements. - Masks without valves also offer **the same standard of protection** for wearers and are equally approved for all prescribed applications. - Despite having the same filter performance, **masks without valves also offer protection to others**, as they filter both inhaled and exhaled air – and thus meet more comprehensive safety requirements. In contrast, the **exhaled air** of wearers of a respirator with a filter is **not filtered by the exhalation valve**. ![uvex respirators with exhalation valve for easier breathing](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/K-0sDDYh-SmkjNvRWm5aWKWKT0O43jpMUTBgHp48zhA/w:345/h:126/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtYXRlbXNjaHV0em1hc2tlbi1taXQtYXVzYXRlbXZlbnRpbC1ob2x6dmVyYXJiZWl0dW5nXzYyY2EzYjlkNWQ:t/cb:f72145df4255c5447672d5c965dbd3ede88562ec/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQXRlbXNjaHV0ei9BdXNhdGVtdmVudGlsL3V2ZXgtYXRlbXNjaHV0em1hc2tlbi1taXQtYXVzYXRlbXZlbnRpbC1ob2x6dmVyYXJiZWl0dW5nLmpwZz8xNzgzNTAxMzA3) Order the right respirator with valve from uvex now If you would like to buy your respirator with valve online, you will find a wide selection of **tested protective equipment** in our shop – clearly organised by product family.

In the following FAQ section, you will find answers about the function and effectiveness of respirators with valves. --- ### Where are respirators with valves used in everyday practice? Heavily polluted air can be very stressful for employees, which is why respirators with valves are necessary in certain environments. Against this background, both employers and employees should know where such respirators are actually used: - Respirators with valves are used wherever **fine particles, dust or droplets pollute the air**. - This is particularly the case in **the construction and craft sectors**, during grinding and demolition work, in **dust-intensive industrial environments** and when **processing solvent-based coating materials**. - Masks with valves also offer **reliable personal protection** in agriculture and when **storing chemical substances.** --- ### How effective is the protection provided by breathing masks with valves? The protection **provided** by respirators with valves **depends largely on the filter class**. While **FFP1** respirators protect **against non-toxic dust**, FFP2 respirators (with or without valves) already offer **protection against harmful particles** such as quartz dust or mould spores. **FFP3** respirators **(with or without a valve) offer the highest level of protection and are also effective against toxic particles and viruses**. **Important: The valve only protects the wearer – not the environment.** Masks without valves should be used to protect others. ![Frequently asked questions about respiratory masks](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/QpGtz3JWFIEfzb388duWAZkfGoaw8Ta0TAqnP9ePzzo/w:345/h:126/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtYXRlbXNjaHV0em1hc2tlLW1pdC1hdXNhdGVtdmVudGlsLWxlYmVuc21pdHRlbGJyYW5jaGVfMjNkNzlhYjFhYw:t/cb:2bca5bbe39aa2ea9060ce1a0a8f13207d5dca9db/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQXRlbXNjaHV0ei9BdXNhdGVtdmVudGlsL3V2ZXgtYXRlbXNjaHV0em1hc2tlLW1pdC1hdXNhdGVtdmVudGlsLWxlYmVuc21pdHRlbGJyYW5jaGUuanBnPzE3ODM1MDA5ODA) ### What is the filter performance of respirators with valves? Filter performance is a **key criterion when choosing** a respirator with a valve, as it determines **which pollutants** can **be filtered out of the air you breathe**. Filter **performance varies depending on the model and protection class**: - **FFP1:** filters at least **80%** of particles - **FFP2:** filters at least **94%** of particles - **FFP3:** filters at least **99%** of particles **Select** the appropriate FFP mask with valve **depending on the area of application, desired valve type and individual requirements**. --- ### What standards apply to masks with valves (e.g. FFP2, FFP3)? Respirators with valves are subject to strict **European standards**, in particular [**EN 149**](https://www.uvex-safety.com/en/knowledge/safety-standards/respiratory-protection/#c3005). This standard regulates **requirements for filter performance, tightness, breathing resistance and valve function**. In addition, **CE certification** is **mandatory**, which proves that the product has been successfully tested and is **approved for use in occupational safety**. If you would like to learn more about the approval bodies, you can deepen your knowledge with our article [Respirators and their certification](https://www.uvex-safety.com/blog/de/korrekt-zugelassene-atemschutzmaske/). --- ### How long/often can respirators with valves be used? The **use and application** of respirators with valves depends on the model and the **area of application**. In principle, most FFP respirators with valves are **disposable products**. Some models are **certified** as **"reusable" with an "R"**. **Important:** - The mask **should be replaced** if breathing becomes difficult or if the mask is **damaged, contaminated or damp**. - As a general rule**, FFP half masks with valves** should **be worn for a maximum of two hours**. After this, a **minimum recovery period of 30 minutes** is necessary to allow the respiratory system and the heart and circulation to recover. This applies to **moderately strenuous work under normal climatic conditions**. **Note:** for respirators without valves, **the wearing time is reduced to 75 minutes**. - Observe the manufacturer's instructions on **the maximum wearing time**.
