FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Helix™ Filter Media based on New Zealand Wool.
- Offer AS/NZS1716: P2 / N95* level protection.
- Made in New Zealand
Waire P2 masks are designed and manufactured in New Zealand using highly effective Helix™ Filter Media to offer AS/NZS1716: P2 / N95* level protection when fitted and used correctly.
Traditionally filtration media has been based on oil-based synthetic materials. The Helix™ Filter Media is the result of Lanaco’s years of research and development in the creation of the world’s most breathable, multi-functional air filter. Designed to capture harmful particulate matter, it harnesses the unique organic properties of New Zealand wool to achieve incredibly good results – so good it has even been selected for protecting astronauts in the next manned mission to the moon and beyond. The science which has been developed for the HelixTM Filter Technology builds on the strong properties of the wool fibre to be electrostatically charged. This wool has been selected through a scientific genetics breeding programme using bred-for-purpose New Zealand sheep to optimise filtration characteristics of our wool.
Helix™ Filter Technology is used in all of Lanaco’s filter formulations. Whilst a 100% organic material is our objective, synthetic additives are currently used to create hybrid formulations that obtain the best performance possible.
Advantages of HelixTM Filter Media include:
- Superior electrostatic performance for capturing particles
- Reduces noxious gases
- Safer against fire
- Inhibits growth of bacteria
- Made from a renewable resource
- Hypoallergenic
- Low breathing resistance
*Made to AS/NZS 1716 P2 Level protection. Approval pending - pretested performance proven in laboratory conditions.
