UNIMASK PAPR & Accessories

UNIMASK PAPR & accessories

The UNIMASK is a tight-fitting full-face mask compatible with CleanAir PAPR belt units — the maximum-protection head-top option in the PAPR range, delivering RPF 100 for workers exposed to high concentrations of particulate, chemical vapour, or combined hazards.

When UNIMASK is the right choice

• High-concentration exposures — where loose-fitting hood RPF 50 is insufficient.
• Chemical splash risk — full-face coverage protects eyes from liquid hazards.
• Fixed workstation operators — where the user is stationary and a tight-fitting mask doesn't interfere with movement.
• Engineered stone, silica, and hexavalent chromium — workplaces with the strictest exposure standards.

Tight-fitting PAPR trade-offs

Tight-fitting PAPR requires fit testing per AS/NZS 1715 — unlike loose-fitting hoods, the seal around the face is protective. Facial hair under the seal prevents effective use. The trade-off is significantly higher RPF (100 vs 50 for loose-fitting hoods) and better eye protection.

Compatibility

UNIMASK connects to CleanAir Basic, Chemical 2F, Chemical 3F, and AERGO belt units via standard hose fittings. Full-face glass cartridges and inner lens covers are available as replacement parts.

Fit testing

Every user must be fit-tested on the UNIMASK before occupational use — quantitative testing is preferred for full-face masks, using PortaCount or similar. Retest annually, or sooner if the worker's face shape changes.

Standards & compliance

Certified to AS/NZS 1716. RPF 100 in tight-fitting configuration. Selection must follow AS/NZS 1715 based on monitoring data.

Frequently asked questions

UNIMASK vs a loose-fitting hood — which is right?

UNIMASK for high-concentration work and chemical splash risk. Loose-fitting hood for typical dust and moderate chemical exposure, or for bearded workers. Hood is often more comfortable for long shifts; UNIMASK provides better protection.

Can I use UNIMASK without a PAPR?

No — UNIMASK is specifically a PAPR head-top, designed for positive-pressure airflow from a belt unit. Without the PAPR, there's no breathing air supply.

Do you offer trade or bulk pricing?

Yes — trade accounts and workforces with stringent respiratory protection requirements receive volume pricing. Apply for a trade account →
