RPB PAPR (powered air-purifying respirator) systems for abrasive blasting have noise reduction padding around the face shield. Vibration-resistant components inside the helmets make them more comfortable during blasting. PAPRs have a blower that pushes ambient air through a filter to provide safe breathable air to a facepiece. Abrasive blasting PAPRs have a full facepiece to provide eye protection and are made of heavy duty materials that withstand rebounding abrasive materials.
