Reusable Elastomeric Respiratory Protection
Filtration Options for P100, OV, OV/AG, Multi-Gas, and/or Nuisance Odor
Compact, lightweight and flexible design which adapts and fits perfectly to the face and offers a full range of vision without interfering with other eye or ear protections which users choose to wear. Large central non-return valve which allows for a reduction of breathing resistance for the user and keeps moisture build-up inside the mask to a minimum. Lightweight, non-slip strap that is easily adjusted in 4 positions for improved comfort and to allow safe use even in high humidity or wet conditions. Elipse® come in 2 sizes.
Soft-Light-Resistant Respirators
The Elipse range of face masks by GVS, represent a major advance in mask design. As one of the lightest on the market in its class, its ergonomic shape provides maximum visibility to wearers, can safely be worn with goggles, helmets and hearing protection. The ability to replace filters extends the masks overall working life. These compact profile masks are made of hypo-allergenic materials and the replaceable filters offer a minimum efficiency of 99.97% or higher at 0.3 microns particle size.
Anatomical Design
GVS's range of extremely lightweight masks fit perfectly to the face, without hindering the user. The compact profile of the mask and filters allow all ELIPSE® range masks to create a perfect seal to the face and ensure the greatest possible field of vision during use, without interfering with other personal protective equipment such as eye, ear and face protection.
Comfortable and Hypo-Allergenic
Unique comfort, thanks to the flexible and soft characteristics of the TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer), used in the ELIPSE® masks, making them very comfortable even when worn for an extended period of time. The materials that make up the mask are odorless and hypoallergenic, latex and silicone free and conform to ISO 10993-10:200.
Patented HESPA™ P100 Filters
The Encapsulation is a patented technology owned by the GVS Group that enable to produce a compact and light filter capturing the pleated media with a soft TPE ring. High Efficiency Synthetic Particulate Air-filter is a technology that enables the patented "encapsulation" production process. The 7 layers combined filter media is using exclusively mechanical filtration technology, giving the filter guarantee that the efficiency stay above 99,97% during the usage. Those filters are also water-repellent thanks to the nature of those media.
Protection Against Nano Particulates
GVS Ellipse P100 particulate filters protect against nano particulates, and have been tested down to 40 nanometers (0.04 microns) still giving an efficiency of >99.97%.
Hard Carry Case Option
Protect GVS Ellipse respirators with a hard carrying case that fits respirators with filters attached and zips shut.

Lifetime:
Filters can be used until fully clogged and / or the wearer feels uncomfortable or until the activated carbon is exhausted and the wearer can smell / taste the contaminant. The lifetime will depend on the concentration in the workplace and the activity level. The filtration level will stay constant all along the usage. All masks are supplied with an aluminum zip foil bag for storage to maximize the life expectancy of the activated carbon. The P100 element is designed for a longer lifetime with up to 5 times the amount of material usually put in other ranges.
