GVS Elipse High Performance ABEK1P3RD Half Mask

GVS Elipse ABEK1P3RD is a half mask respirator with replaceable ABEK1P3 R D combination filter pair, designed for simultaneous protection against gases/vapours and particulates in industrial and production environments. It is intended for PPE programs where risk assessment requires both activated carbon gas filtration and P3-class particle filtration.

GVS Elipse ABEK1P3RD Half Mask Respirator

General Information

Ready-to-use half mask respirator (PPE) supplied with two ABEK1P3 R D combination filters. The primary functional benefit is combined protection: organic and inorganic gases/vapours together with P3-class particulates using a single filter configuration.

Suitable for applications where exposure control includes both gaseous contaminants and dust/mist/fume; typical industries include process industry, maintenance and surface treatment.

Benefits and Differences Compared to Similar Products

• Combined ABEK1 + P3 filtration reduces the need to switch between separate gas and particulate filters when tasks vary.
• Large inhalation area and exhalation valve support lower perceived breathing resistance during extended use and reduce moisture build-up inside the facepiece.
• Low-profile design improves compatibility with other PPE and workwear systems, including eye protection, hearing protection and safety helmets.
• D marking (dolomite test) supports use in high dust load environments where maintaining low breathing resistance is operationally relevant.

Intended Use

Suitable for users and supervisors in tasks involving simultaneous exposure to gases/vapours and particulates, such as solvent handling, chlorine compounds, sulphur dioxide-containing atmospheres, acid fumes and dust-generating processes (subject to risk assessment). The ABEK/P3 configuration is also applicable to ski waxing operations where organic solvents and fine particulates are present.

Not suitable for oxygen-deficient atmospheres or situations requiring supplied-air respiratory protection. For asbestos removal, suitability must be verified against the site-specific removal plan and regulatory requirements; while P3 filtration may be technically relevant, required protection level (e.g. fit, potential full face mask) must be confirmed.
