How are the three models of GVS Elipse P3 chemical filter masks from Italy better than regular masks?

In various manufacturing industries, it’s common to work in environments filled with pollutants, dust, smoke from production, or even chemicals that we have to deal with. These conditions can pose significant health risks to the workers. Therefore, business owners, in collaboration with safety officers, must provide protective equipment for employees working in areas that pose respiratory risks, as mandated by the Occupational Safety, Health, and Work Environment Act B.E. 2554. This law emphasizes the importance of workers’ health and hygiene, including the use of respiratory protective equipment against chemical exposure.

Glovetex is proud to introduce chemical filter masks from the globally renowned brand GVS, based in Italy. GVS is a leading manufacturer of filtration products used in industrial, biological, and health and safety applications. With over 40 years of experience in producing filters for industrial, automotive, and medical use, and with offices in 30 countries worldwide, GVS is an expert in the field. We have selected three models of GVS masks that are ideal for use in industries requiring respiratory protection.

GVS Elipse P3 Nuisance Odour Respirator for Dust and Unpleasant Odour Protection

The GVS Elipse P3 Chemical Filter Mask (Half Face Type) is designed to protect against dust and unpleasant odours. Made from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), this mask is durable and long-lasting, meeting medical-grade standards as per ISO 10993-10:2010, ensuring no irritation to the face. It features a silicone valve for optimal airflow during inhalation and exhalation. The mask is compact, lightweight at only 130 grams, and fits snugly against the face, eliminating the issue of fogging up safety glasses. It also includes adjustable head and neck straps with four points of adjustment, ensuring a secure fit even in high-moisture environments.

The Elipse P3 Nuisance Odour model comes with replaceable filters. These filters contain multiple layers made from HESPA synthetic material and incorporate carbon elements for toxic substance filtration. The filters are housed in an outer TPE shell that is highly flexible and durable, with a lifespan of up to 5 years for the mask and 3 years for the filters. The pleated design of the filters allows for an efficiency of 99.95% in filtering out particles smaller than 0.3 microns and provides a breathing resistance of 3 mbar at an airflow rate of 47.5 liters per minute per filter.

This respirator effectively protects against dust and fumes containing substances like microorganisms, marble, gypsum, titanium dioxide, soapstone, mineral wool, wood, detergents, textile fibers, spices, salt, animal feed, and more. It also provides excellent protection against low-concentration vapours and odours.

Application Areas

This respirator is ideal for use in industrial environments with limited ventilation, where dust, mist, fumes, and various chemicals are present, such as:

  • Mining, steel mills, and operations involving heavy metal dust (lead, nickel, chromium)
  • Foundries, mechanical workshops, pharmaceuticals, cement factories, rice mills
  • Glass, ceramics, and chemical manufacturing
  • Waste management, construction
  • Various manufacturing facilities

GVS Elipse A1-P3 Filters Respirator for Organic Vapour and Dust Protection

The GVS Elipse A1-P3 Chemical Filter Mask (Half Face Type) is specifically designed to protect against organic vapours and dust. This model is also crafted from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), adhering to medical-grade standards under ISO 10993-10:2010, ensuring durability, non-irritation, and a starting weight of just 267 grams. It features a silicone valve to facilitate proper airflow. The mask is compact, lightweight, and flexible, designed to fit perfectly on the face without obstructing visibility or causing fogging from breath, even when wearing other protective gear like safety glasses or earmuffs. The adjustable rubber neck strap with four points of adjustment, similar to the GVS Elipse P3 model, ensures a secure fit.

The Elipse A1-P3 model focuses on the filter cartridges, which are coated with premium-grade ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) shells. These filters are designed to offer low breathing resistance, preventing air leakage both in and out. Inside, the filter contains multiple layers made from HESPA synthetic media, enhanced with a special carbon mixture that features fine, pore-like structures. This allows the mask to filter out particles smaller than 0.3 microns with an efficiency of 99.95%, and it can filter chemicals for up to 70 minutes, including organic gases, dust, smoke, pesticides, paint fumes, and various industrial chemicals. The filter cartridges are durable, with a lifespan of up to 5 years for the mask and 3 years for the filters, and they are replaceable.

Application Areas

  • Mining, steel mills, foundries
  • Mechanical workshops, pharmaceuticals, cement factories
  • Waste management, construction
  • Heavy metals (lead, nickel, chromium), railway industry
  • Paint spraying, solvents in automotive and shipbuilding industries
  • Agriculture (pesticides)

GVS Elipse ABE1-P3 Filters Respirator for Organic Vapours, Inorganic Vapours, Acid Gases, and Dust Protection

The GVS Elipse ABE1-P3 Chemical Filter Mask (Half Face Type) is designed to protect against organic vapours, inorganic vapours, acid gases, and dust. Like its counterparts, this model is constructed from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), adhering to ISO 10993-10:2010 standards, ensuring durability with a starting weight of 270 grams. The mask is engineered for a snug, flexible fit, with a four-point adjustable rubber neck strap that helps secure the mask to the face, preventing any fogging that could interfere with other safety gear.

This model features a specially designed ABE1 filter cartridge, which is larger for more efficient airflow through the filter layers. Despite its increased size, the filter remains thin and lightweight, ensuring comfort during wear. It effectively filters organic vapours, inorganic vapours, and acid gases, and it provides dust protection by filtering particles smaller than 0.3 microns with an efficiency of 99.95%. The mask is equipped with dual replaceable gas filter cartridges and can also accommodate additional particle filters (SPM523 and SPM524). The cartridges have low breathing resistance, which enhances gas filtration efficiency and extends the filter’s lifespan. The mask itself can be used for up to 5 years, while the filters last up to 3 years.

Application Areas

This respirator is suitable for environments with high concentrations of organic and inorganic gases, chemicals, and ammonia in industries such as:

  • Cyclohexane > 70 minutes
  • Chlorine > 20 minutes
  • Hydrogen Sulfide > 40 minutes
  • Hydrogen Cyanide > 25 minutes
  • Sulfur Dioxide > 20 minutes

It is designed to protect against a wide range of gases and vapours.
