Facts about TIKI breathing mask

TIKI has been developed in Sweden for use in demanding environments with high requirements for protection against airborne particles and bacteria. The respirator is reusable, has a self-regulating fan and is battery-powered. The mask measures the strength of each breath in real time and supplies the air and pressure that the user needs. A major advantage of this mask, which is unique to the TIKI design, is that it provides good visibility and good freedom of movement, since the filter and fan are located at the top of the mask instead of on a belt around the user's waist. The manufacturing takes place in TIKI Safety's factory in Bro, north of Stockholm.

TM3P classification

The TIKI respirator has a TM3P classification and meets the WHO (World Health Organization) requirements for protection class FFP3 or higher by a good margin. To meet the requirements for TM3P classification, the respirator must filter at least 99.95 percent of particles that are 0.3 µm in size. TIKI has been developed to protect against coronavirus, but also protects against other viruses, mold, bacteria, dust, smoke particles, asbestos, etc.
