What electric welding mask do you wear when sweating in summer?

The welding mask worn in summer can choose a semi-mask made of silicone, because it is hot and sweaty in summer, and the requirements for the part of the mask that touches the face are relatively high, and the silicone material is relatively stable.

1. In national standards, masks are divided into disposable masks, semi-masks and full-face masks. Disposable mask is a common mask that hangs on the ear. Sweating too much in summer will soak the mask, which will cause discomfort and great resistance when attached to the face, and the protection effect is poor. A full-face mask is unnecessary.

2. At present, there are two common semi-masks: rubber and silicone. The reason why rubber masks are not suitable for wearing is that rubber masks are easy to soften when exposed to sweat, resulting in lax sealing, and rubber is prone to odor at high temperature, because it is recommended to choose silicone material.

3. The welding dust is very fine and the concentration is very high. It is recommended to choose a filter element with high protection level. At present, there are three levels in the national standard: KN90/KN95/KN 100, and KN 100 is the highest level, which also has the highest filtration efficiency and the best welding effect.

Therefore, wearing KN 100 grade silicone half mask in summer is most suitable for welding industry.
