This guide is for professionals requiring high-level respiratory protection in demanding environments. The Portwest P391 EAGLE FFP3 respirator offers superior filtration and a comfortable, adaptive fit, with a key benefit being its fold-flat design for easy storage. A minor consideration is that the Dolomite clogging test is optional, meaning standard models may have a shorter lifespan in very dusty conditions without this feature.

FAQs
What does FFP3 rating mean?
FFP3 indicates that the respirator filters at least 99% of airborne particles, providing a high level of protection against fine dust, aerosols, and biological agents.
Is this respirator reusable?
No, the Portwest P391 EAGLE is a disposable respirator and is intended for single use only. It should be replaced after use or when it is no longer effective.
What is the benefit of the Dolomite clogging test (D)?
The optional Dolomite clogging test indicates that the respirator has been tested against dust and maintains a lower breathing resistance for longer when exposed to high concentrations of fine dust, offering improved comfort and durability in such environments.
How should I store the respirator?
Store each individually wrapped respirator in its original polybag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and contaminants, until ready for use.
Can I wear this mask with safety glasses?
Yes, the adjustable nose bar helps to create a seal that can reduce fogging of safety glasses, but ensure proper fitting for both items.
How do I know when to replace the respirator?
Replace the respirator if breathing becomes difficult, if the filter material is damaged or clogged, or if a proper seal can no longer be achieved. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maximum wear time.
What materials is the respirator made from?
The respirator is made from PP (Polypropylene) and PU Foam (Polyurethane Foam).
Troubleshooting
Difficulty breathing
Ensure the respirator is not clogged. If the Dolomite option is not selected and you are in a very dusty environment, breathing resistance may increase. Replace the respirator if breathing becomes significantly difficult or if the filter appears saturated.
Mask does not form a tight seal
Readjust the elastic straps and ensure the nose bar is molded correctly to the shape of your nose. Ensure facial hair or other accessories are not obstructing the seal. Perform a seal check after adjustment.
Fogging of glasses
Ensure the nose bar is molded securely around the bridge of the nose to minimize air leakage. Check that the respirator size and shape are appropriate for your face.
Valve malfunction
Check the exhalation valve for any obstructions or damage. If the valve appears faulty, the respirator should be replaced as it affects breathability and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unfold the respirator carefully from its individual polybag.
Place the respirator over your nose and mouth, ensuring the exhalation valve is facing outwards.
Adjust the elastic straps to secure the respirator snugly against your face. For optimal fit, hook the top strap over your ears first, then the bottom strap.
Mold the adjustable nose bar firmly around the bridge of your nose to create a tight seal. Ensure there are no gaps between the mask and your face.
Perform a seal check: Cup your hands over the respirator and exhale sharply. You should feel no air escaping around the edges. If you do, readjust the straps and nose bar.
Compatibility:
This respirator is designed for single use only.
It is compatible with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and hard hats, provided they do not interfere with the respirator's seal.
CE certified and UKCA marked, aligning with EN 149 FFP3 (NR D) standards.
Care:
This is a disposable respirator and is not designed to be washed or reused.
