The global FFP2 grade protective masks industry is a rapidly growing sector of personal protective equipment (PPE), that are designed to filter at least 94% of airborne particles, offering superior protection against particles, droplets, and aerosols compared to standard masks. FFP2 is classed as a respirator, rather than a mask, offering better protection. FFP stands for “Filtering Face Piece”, with the number corresponding to the level of protection the piece provides.
