What Is The Difference Between Goggles And Protective Masks?

During the epidemic, in addition to Disposable Medical Masks and KN95 Face Masks, goggles and protective masks are essential items. Protective glasses and protective masks are a type of personal protective equipment, mainly to protect the eyes and face from dust, smoke, Damage caused by metal and sand debris and sputtering of chemical solutions, and some special protective glasses or face shields can also prevent ultraviolet, infrared and microwave electromagnetic waves from radiating the human face.

So in different positions, what kind of protective equipment should we choose? Should you choose small and portable protective glasses or a protective mask with a higher safety factor and a larger protective area? Today the Folding Face Mask Supplier introduces the difference between protective glasses and protective masks for everyone to understand in more detail.

Protective eyewear classification.

Protective glasses are usually made of flexible plastic and rubber, and the frame is wide enough to cover the user's eyes. Protective glasses are mainly divided into three categories: anti-solid dust impact, anti-liquid splash and anti-radiation.

Virus Medical Goggles

1. Protective glasses against solid debris mainly used to prevent mechanical damage to eyes caused by metal or gravel debris. The spectacle lens and spectacle frame should be strong and resistant to shock. There are edging around the frame, and there should be ventilation holes on it. The protective lens can be toughened glass, colloidal bonded glass or copper wire mesh protective glasses.

2. Protective glasses against chemical solutions are mainly used to prevent chemical damage to eyes caused by irritating or corrosive solutions. Ordinary flat lenses can be used, and the frame should be covered to prevent splashing of the solution.

3. Anti-radiation protective glasses used to protect the eyes from excessive ultraviolet rays and other radiation. The lens is made of special glass that can reflector absorbs radiation but can transmit certain visible light. The lenses are plated with bright chromium, nickel, mercury or silver metal films that can reflect radiation; blue lenses absorb infrared light, yellow-green lenses absorb both ultraviolet and infrared rays and colourless leaded lenses absorb X-rays and gamma rays.

Types of protective masks.

A mask that prevents splashes of dust and chemical solutions from splashing into the eyes and damaging the face. It is made of light transparent plastic and is made of polycarbonate and other plastics. Can cover the face more comprehensively to enhance the protective effect.

In addition to the aluminium foil mask mentioned in the thermal protective clothing, the heat-proof mask can also be made of single-layer or double-layer metal mesh, but the double-layer is better, which can block some radiation and dissipate heat in the air. If it can be plated with chrome or nickel, it can enhance the reflection and heat prevention effect, and can prevent rust.

Metal mesh masks also protect against microwave radiation.

The face mask for electric welders is made of hard paper fibre with a certain thickness. It is lightweight, heat-proof, and has a good electrical insulating face mask. The biggest difference between protective glasses and protective screens is that protective glasses can only protect the eyes, and protective masks can protect the entire head of the human body.
