How do you match the ABEK1P2 filters and fit the mask?
Match the ABEK1P2 cartridge to the contaminant named on the Safety Data Sheet, because no single filter covers every contaminant. AS/NZS 1715 then governs how the mask is worn: selected and fit-tested, on a clean-shaven face, with filters changed on schedule or when breathing resistance rises.
The ABEK1P2 combination covers a broad range of hazards: A organic vapours, B inorganic gases, E acid gases, K ammonia and its derivatives (all class 1), plus P2 particulate filtration for dusts, mists and fumes. Always match the filter to the specific hazard on the Safety Data Sheet, because no single filter covers every contaminant.
Fit, use and maintenance
A tight-fitting respirator only protects if it seals. Under AS/NZS 1715, respirators must be selected, fit-tested and worn by clean-shaven users, with filters changed on schedule or when breathing resistance rises or odour breaks through. Store the mask in its box between uses to keep it clean.
Frequently asked questions
What does ABEK1P2 cover?
ABEK1P2 filters cover organic vapours (A), inorganic gases (B), acid gases (E) and ammonia and its derivatives (K) at class 1, plus P2 particulate filtration for dusts, mists and fumes. Always match the filter to the specific hazard named on the Safety Data Sheet, because no single filter covers every contaminant.
Is the chemical kit half face mask certified to AS/NZS 1716?
Yes. The Pro Choice chemical kit half face mask (HMABEK1P2-HP) is certified to AS/NZS 1716:2012. Selection, use and fit-testing follow AS/NZS 1715, which calls for a fit-tested, clean-shaven wearer and filters changed on schedule or when breathing resistance rises or odour breaks through.
What comes in the chemical kit half face mask?
Each HMABEK1P2-HP kit holds the half-face mask, two ABEK1P2 filter cartridges, five P2 pre-filters and a storage box, so a wearer can start work without ordering filters separately. The facepiece is thermoplastic rubber with a four-point cradle harness and a low-resistance exhalation valve for extended wear.
Can you wear this half face mask with a welding helmet?
The mask keeps a low profile, so it works with most welding helmets. Check the fit against your own helmet before the shift: a tight-fitting respirator only protects if it seals, and AS/NZS 1715 calls for fit-testing, clean-shaven wearers and filters changed on schedule.
