is essential for workers in a variety of work environments, including chemical, general industrial, pharmaceutical, construction, nuclear, craft trades, and even Do-It-Yourselfers. MSAs Advantage Respirators and wide selection of cartridges provide the protection you need, whether they are used for precautionary measures or in situations where health-endangering vapors or particulates are present.
Workers worldwide have come to depend
on MSAs line of Advantage Respirators, and they equate the Advantage name with innovation, durability, comfort, and safety. Incorporating MSAs global engineering expertise, Advantage Respirators meet NIOSH and EN standards, while maintaining flexibility and affordability.
For your convenience, Advantage cartridges
and filters are interchangeable with all Advantage respirators, both half-mask and full facepiece, simplifying the selection process and eliminating the need to fit-test individuals on many different masks. They are easy to maintain, so your inventory and your costs are minimized.
Advantage 200 LS Respirator
When developing the Advantage 200 LS, MSA set a new standard for respiratory protection. It is the first half-mask designed exclusively for people who wear respirators. The 200 LS Respirator, with its filter technology, meets every requirement of modern respiratory protection. It weighs less than competitive respirators to make it more stable on your face. It feels softer to keep you comfortable, and it adds new style to safety. The Advantage 200 LS has become the most popular half-mask respirator in the MSA line. The Advantage 200 LS Respirator provides a betterlooking, lighter, and softer facepiece, which is made from a translucent "Ocean Blue" formulation of thermoplastic rubber. The unmatched fit exceeds all previous levels of comfort. And, because the 200 LS facepiece features the same great facial seal as previous models of Advantage half-masks, users of other Advantage half-mask models do not need to be fit-tested again before they wear the Advantage 200 LS Respirator.
The Advantage 200 LS Respirator also features MSAs patented
MultiFlex System a soft, pliable combination of rubber and plastic that provides a virtually customized fit. In addition, the highly effective AnthroCurve Sealing Surface instantly conforms to each wearer, equalizing pressure on the face seal area and eliminating annoying pressure points.
It Fits You In Every Way
Despite its groundbreaking design, the Advantage 200LS Respirator fits your budget as well as it fits your face. The facepiece has only four components: Facepiece blank 4-point yoke Inhalation/exhalation valves Head harness (choice of single or 2-piece neck strap) The swept-back cartridge and filter design provides for more stability, better weight distribution, and easy visibility.
Advantage 3200 Respirator
As the newest generation of full-face respirators, the Advantage 3200 Respirator sets new standards for comfort and versatility. No matter where your job site is located, youll be able to see and feel the benefits of the Advantage 3200 Respirator. The Advantage 3200 full-face mask is the perfect complement to the Advantage 200 LS. Its fit technology is based on the industry-proven face seal of the MSA Ultra Elite Facepiece, which is based on facial measurement data from more than 8,000 people.
Donning the mask is made easier with MSAs new preadjustable straps. With the Advantage 3200 Respirator, you can position the upper straps for a consistent fit and minimal adjustment, time after time. The pre-set upper straps prevent uncomfortable snags during donning and doffing, and also provide a tighter, more secure seal. Wearers also have the option of the new European-style Advantage harness, which dons like a catchers mask.
The Advantage 3200 Respirator enhances worker
performance because a new design allows even lower breathing resistance and includes a nose cup that reduces fogging in low temperatures or high-humidity conditions. In addition, the facepiece lens has been engineered to be optically correct, giving you superior visibility and peripheral vision. The wraparound scratch-resistant polycarbonate face piece lens provides a wide distortion-free field of vision. The lens meets all requirements of ANSI Z87.1 including the high-impact performance requirements. It exceeds requirements for haze, prism, and power, while eliminating distortion.
The 200 LS integrates well with other PPE
Simplicity MSAs exclusive Advantage 200 LS and Advantage 3200 Respirators are some of the easiest to use on the market. They solve all comfort problems, and their maintenance is easy to learn. All components can be replaced without special tools in a matter of seconds, and the Advantage 200 LS and 3200 filters and cartridges are interchangeable.

An appropriate cartridge change-out schedule must be developed by a qualified professional, unless
the cartridge/canister utilizes an end-of-service-life indicator. The change-out schedule must take into account all factors that may influence respiratory protection including specific work practices and other conditions unique to the workers environment. If using against substances having poor warning properties, there is no secondary means of knowing when to replace the cartridges/canister. In such cases, take appropriate additional precautions to prevent overexposure, which may include a more conservative change-out schedule or using an air-supplied respirator or SCBA. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death. As a reference, below is a partial list of substances having poor warning properties: Acrolein
