FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 15, 2011; Culver City, CA

Congratulations on Moldex-Metric's 9000 Reusable Full Face Respirator winning the OH&S 2011 New Product of the Year award!

Technologically advanced features position the 9000 full face respirator as the leader in its field. The exclusive over-molded lens design eliminates the usual heavy clamping metal frame to create an innovative full face with lighter weight, fewer parts, greater field of vision and minimal maintenance. The 9000 is also completely free of metal parts and completely PVC-free.

The 9000 full face mask respirator and 7000 half mask respirator share a full line of cartridges and filters. Workers will appreciate the ultra-lightweight comfort. The stand away head harness with extra wide opening makes putting on and taking off quick and easy. Strap buckles are securely molded directly to the facepiece for rugged use and ease of adjustment. Lens is coated for scratch resistance.

All this at an economical price. The 9000 series adds up to simple, comfortable and economical respiratory protection that is just plain easy to wear.

The OH&S editorial team will be distributing physical awards to the winners during the National Safety Council Congress & Expo in Philadelphia. We will be featuring editorial coverage of the winning products in the December issue of OH&S magazine. In addition, the winners are highlighted on the OH&S website at http://ohsonline.1105cms01.com/pages/2011-npoy-winners.aspx
