UFI, one of the first companies in Italy to provide its contribution in the fight against COVID, continues to maintain part of its plants dedicated to the production of FFP2 UFI Mask Defender, one of the most effective personal protective equipment (PPE) currently available in the market.

In this historical period, affected by Sars-COVID-19 pandemic, personal protective equipment plays a fundamental role in reducing exposure to the virus, not only in the healthcare environment but also at home or in public and working places.

Based on its experience and know-how in filtration, air filtration included, UFI would like to remind you of the main features of the masks on the market, in order to help you choose the most suitable protective device for your needs.
Surgical masks are disposable medical devices, made of non-woven fabric, and are generally recommended by health authorities when you need to go out for shopping, go to the pharmacy, for emergency situations and to go to work.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that surgical masks have a community utility: they are effective if everyone wears them, because the filter action is mainly towards the outside.

In fact, surgical masks provide protection against the spread of viruses and bacteria by blocking the droplets of respiratory secretions, preventing other people from coming into contact with them. However, surgical masks do not protect the user against very small particles such as viruses, because they don’t adhere completely to the face and don’t retain fine particles. They are therefore not considered PPE as they protect people around us from contagion, but don’t protect the user from the contagion itself.

The high protection FFP masks, on the other hand, protect both the wearer and others. For this reason, FFP masks are included among the personal protective equipment (PPE). They are divided into three protection classes FFP1, FFP2 and FPP3, according to their filtering efficiency. The most popular are the FFP2 and FFP3 versions.

They have a filtration efficiency starting from 92%, both incoming and outgoing, and are recommended for health workers, law enforcement agencies, but also for all workers and citizens who want to protect themselves in “risky” situations (eg. closed spaces, missed compliance with precautionary measures).
