Velilla 584004 hygienic face mask: 3 ply, single use, box of 500
The barrier mask used in food handling, where the aim is to prevent the operator from projecting droplets onto the product. It comes in a box of 500 units (10 small boxes of 50), which is how it is bought when there is a workforce and shifts involved.
✅ Features
Three layers: two of non-woven fabric plus a middle layer of meltblown, which acts as the filter.
Nose clip: moulds over the bridge of the nose and closes the gap through which air escapes and glasses fog up.
Ear loops: put on and taken off in one movement, with no tying.
Hypoallergenic material made of 100% polypropylene.
Box of 500 units: divided into 10 small boxes of 50, convenient to leave at each workstation.
Single use: it is neither reusable nor washable.
👷 Suitable for
Food industry packaging and handling lines.
Bakeries, pastry shops and delicatessens.
Fresh produce sections and supermarket counters.
Institutional kitchens and catering.
Plant visits and external staff entering the production area.
Classification: according to the manufacturer, this product is not a medical device within the meaning of Directive 93/42/EEC or Regulation (EU) 2017/745, nor personal protective equipment within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
🧺 Care
Not washable: it is single use. Washing it destroys the meltblown layer and turns it into a rag.
Storage: keep it in its box, in a dry place and uncrushed, so that the nose clip does not arrive already bent.
Replacement: replace it when it becomes damp or loses its shape; a wet mask no longer acts as a barrier.
💡 Tip: do not confuse it with an FFP2. A hygienic mask protects the product from the wearer, not the wearer from the environment: it stops the food handler from projecting droplets onto the food. If what you need is to protect the worker from dust, aerosols or particles, you need an FFP2 or FFP3 filtering mask certified as PPE, not this reference.
