Powered Air Purifying Respirators are the ultimate in respiratory protection. By using a blower to create a positive pressure in the mask, it is easier to wear for long periods of time in the work environment. These utilize a blower motor, full face mask, and various levels of filters based on your needs. These are a component of full barrier personal protective equipment when needed. Advantages over a traditional dual cartridge respirator is no fit problems, less fatigue from breath restriction and integrated poly face sheild.

There are 2 versions of each : the soft top "Easy Clean" style or with hardtop style integrated hard-hat for heavy industry.
For clay studios where dust from clay and glaze materials are a concern we suggest the least expensive of these 4 versions: the TR-300 with soft hood.
Industrial applications may like the integrated hard-top versions.
If your work exposes you to VOC vapors (volatile organic compounds) then you will want the TR-600 and appropriate filters for that type of paint and solvent fumes.
