A familiar sight: the classic white FFP2 mask. In many areas, such as clinics, nursing homes, prisons and public transport, masks are still mandatory. They are intended to provide protection against coronavirus infections, as incidences are still high. White FFP2 masks have become a kind of symbol during the pandemic. In the sea of these white masks, however, there is a glimmer of color: colorful FFP2 masks. Are they just as safe as the normal masks? And what are the advantages of colored masks? The most important questions on the subject are answered here.
Surgical masks, FFP2 masks and the like: which offer the best protection?
So-called surgical masks, or medical face masks, were used by doctors and dentists in the past. They protect against droplets that occur when speaking, for example. However, they offer no protection against aerosols and therefore only provide a certain degree of self-protection. In contrast, respiratory masks, including the well-known FFP2 masks, offer significantly greater protection. For example, against aerosols, smoke or fine dust in the air we breathe, as the NDR explains. FFP2 or FFP3 masks are best suited for protection against corona, which is why they have been increasingly ordered by the government. The particular suitability of FFP2 masks has also been confirmed by study results from the Max Planck Institute in Göttingen.
Are colored masks just as safe as the normal FFP2 masks?
Yes, they are just as safe. The colorful masks offer protection against aerosols, particles and droplets. They are suitable for medical staff, companies and private individuals.
What are the advantages of colored masks?
In addition to the aforementioned better protection against infection, there are other advantages. For one thing, colored masks offer a change from the classic white FFP2 masks. They are available in many colors and can be used to create colorful accents.
Use Case 1: Hospitals and nursing homes
Masks are still compulsory in hospitals and nursing homes. Here, the colored masks offer protection for patients and staff. They also provide a contrast to otherwise white work clothing: the colorful FFP2 masks make for a somewhat friendlier appearance. This may even bring a smile or two to the lips of a patient or resident.
Use Case 2: Events
At events, for example, colored masks make it possible to divide people into different groups, which can be easily distinguished using different colored masks. It also makes it much easier for visitors to find contact persons. Colourful masks make it easier to recognize them. A tip for our customers from the event industry, who often opt for black masks.
Use case 3: Business trips by train
Masks are also still compulsory on trains and local and long-distance public transport, often even with FFP2 masks. Here too, the masks offer reliable protection. The colorful masks are comfortable to wear on longer journeys and you can even show your colors with them. How about masks in the company's colors, for example?
Use case 4: Intermediaries, pharmacies and supermarkets
The colorful masks are particularly popular with end customers. Pharmacies and supermarkets should therefore consider offering colored masks. Customers will be happy to see a more colorful look on the shelves and there are many colors to choose from. And of course, in addition to different colors, they also offer customers reliable protection.
