What it is and why choose it
The Iwata FULL FACE PROTECTION MASK AIR FED (AIR FED 2020) is an integral, air-fed full-face respirator designed to work with a high-quality breathable compressed air supply. It provides complete protection of the respiratory tract and eyes against particulate matter, aerosols, mists, vapors, gases, and other airborne contaminants that can pose serious health risks, even at low concentrations. Thanks to continuous airflow, outward overpressure, and full-face coverage, it delivers superior and total protection in work environments saturated with toxic substances.
Main features
- Integral full-face protection: Helmet with visor and adjustable ratchet harness for full coverage of face and eyes.
- High level of respiratory safety: Protects against particulates, mists, vapors, gases, and other contaminants when used with breathable compressed air.
- Continuous airflow: Easier to breathe and wear thanks to a constant air supply inside the mask.
- Positive pressure inside the mask: Internal air pressure helps prevent inward leakage of contaminants.
- No fit testing required: The design allows safe use by different operators without individual fit tests.
- Chemical protection: Supports the use of various filters for specific hazards such as organic vapors and acid gases.
- Integrated eye protection: Full-face visor protects the eyes and can be used together with a helmet or hood.
- Audible low-flow alarm: Air regulator with whistle alerts the user when airflow or pressure falls below the permitted level.
- Adjustable comfort: Ratchet harness and waistbelt with air regulator allow fine adjustment to the user’s head and waist circumference.
- Removable hygiene kit: Designed to fit perfectly along the contour of the face for a secure and comfortable seal.
- Nape cover: Neck protection that attaches to the back of the helmet for added coverage.
- Disposable visor cover: Adhesive protective film mounted with snap buttons to keep the visor clear and protected.

Applications and use cases
The AIR FED 2020 full-face mask is designed for professional environments where operators are exposed to airborne contaminants and require continuous supplied air. It is particularly suited to work situations where breathable compressed air is available and a spray gun is used.
- Work in environments contaminated by particulates, mists, gases, vapors, or other hazardous substances.
- Tasks carried out in areas saturated with toxic substances where total respiratory and eye protection is essential.
- Painting operations using a spray gun, connected via the dedicated air hose supplied with the regulator unit.
Basic setup and wearing steps
- Unpack the mask and components and check that nothing is damaged.
- Mount the disposable visor cover onto the visor using the two snap buttons.
- Connect the mask’s air hose diffuser to the air regulator’s supply connection.
- Connect the spray gun air supply line to the opposite side of the air regulator.
- Wear and adjust the waistbelt so the regulator unit sits securely.
- Adjust the helmet harness using the ratchet system to fit your head size (for first-time use).
- Put on the mask, position the harness comfortably, and tighten the ratchet.
- Check that the harness at the back is snug but not excessively tight and that the hygiene kit seals correctly along the face.
- Connect the air supply hose to the main breathable air supply line of the compressor.
- Attach and adjust the nape cover at the back of the helmet.
- Connect the spray gun air hose to the spray gun inlet.
- Check airflow quality and ensure it is sufficient for proper operation before starting work.
