Full-face elastomeric respirators generally seal better. [2] For substances hazardous to the eyes, a respirator equipped with a full facepiece, helmet, or hood is recommended. [35] Eyeglasses can clash with elastomeric masks. Conventionally, full-face masks are modified, with prescription lenses inserted into the mask.
Here’s how it works: The mask bracket—which is made of soft, flexible, food-grade, BPA-free silicone—fits against your face, while your mask is layered over top.

An open circuit SCBA typically has three main components: a high-pressure gas storage cylinder, (e.g., 2,216 to 5,500 psi (15,280 to 37,920 kPa), about 150 to 374 atmospheres), a pressure regulator, and a respiratory interface, which may be a mouthpiece, half mask or full-face mask, assembled and mounted on a framed carrying harness.

Silicone masks have an advantage over latex masks in that because of the material properties, the mask hugs the wearers face and moves in a realistic manner with the wearer's facial expressions. [29] Silicone is often used as a hypoallergenic substitute for foam latex prosthetics.
The masks' affordable price points and branding of professional-grade technology to fight signs of aging and reduce acne contributed to its popularity over the years.
Silicone grease is widely used as a temporary sealant and a lubricant for interconnecting ground glass joints, as is typically used in laboratory glassware.Although silicones are normally assumed to be chemically inert, several historically significant compounds have resulted from unintended reactions with silicones.
An N95 respirator is a disposable filtering facepiece respirator or reusable elastomeric respirator filter that meets the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) N95 standard of air filtration, filtering at least 95% of airborne particles that have a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 0.3 micrometers under 42 CFR 84, effective July 10, 1995.
