Dust and eye protection masks

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Hi
Looking to pick up a few masks for a crappy ceiling pull down job. Looked at these. Any one used them. Are they any good

Would then use for tiling use. Cutting boards, grinding floors etc.
Thanks

Not sure how well that would seal to the face, also I think p3 is needed for us not p2

I wasn't sure what p2 was or p3. So its a classification?

P2 is for general dust etc, p3 is the better protection ( asbestos )

Also you need to make sure you have a good seal around the mask

This is a p3. Looks like it fits snug.

I have always struggled to get a good seal with face masks, particularly with safety glasses on. They always seem to leak around the nose and fog up the glasses.
But I picked these up at Toolstation recently and they are the best I've yet used for sealing well.

I use that jsp force 8 but it’s getting a bit tired now, taking it on and off all day isn’t ideal. Do you use them for 1 day impish then throw them away? Would you trust that for heavy dust ?

No, just nuisance dust. They aren't the easiest to breathe in for a length of time. Good for a quick dry cut, or mix though.
I bought an M rated vac recently so that sucks up most dust from everything now.

THe main hazard for us daily is mixing adhesive and grinding porcelain, even with a sponge on the grinder it’s still air bourne. If you mix adhesive on a sunny day with no wind you can see the cloud and it’s pretty immense
