Shigematsu RS01SD Premium Silicone Half Mask — Medium
The Shigematsu RS01SD is a premium silicone half mask designed for wearers who want genuine all-day comfort without compromising on certified respiratory protection. This medium-size listing is the standard fit for most adult wearers, and features the same speech diaphragm, silicone facepiece and drop-down harness across the whole RS01SD range.
Premium Silicone Comfort
The RS01SD’s facepiece is made entirely from silicone rather than the rigid thermoplastic used in many half masks, providing enhanced softness, comfort and durability. For anyone spending extended periods in a respirator — pest control technicians, spray applicators, industrial workers — that comfort difference matters over a full working day.
Built-In Speech Diaphragm
A speech diaphragm is integrated into the mask, allowing clearer verbal communication while the respirator remains fully sealed. This is a real practical advantage on job sites where coordinating with colleagues or clients while masked is part of the daily work.
Drop-Down Harness for Helmet Compatibility
The RS01SD features a drop-down head harness, meaning the mask can be lowered or raised without removing a safety helmet first. For workers moving in and out of respiratory protection throughout a job — stepping away from a spray area, having a conversation, checking equipment — this saves time compared to masks that require full harness removal.
Quick Filter Changes
A twist connector secures filters to the mask, making change-outs fast and simple in the field. The RS01SD uses “CA series” filters with bayonet connectors — refer to the compatible filters guide to confirm the right filter for your application, since filters are sold separately from the mask.
Certified Protection
The RS01SD is certified to EN 140:1998 and AS/NZS 1716:2012, as well as EU Regulation 2016/425 — giving it recognised certification across both the New Zealand/Australian and European regulatory frameworks. Full technical specifications are available in the product info sheet.
Choosing the Right Size
The RS01SD is available in Small, Medium and Large. If the medium doesn’t suit your face shape, the Large version is also available — a proper fit test is recommended for any respirator to ensure an effective seal.
Compatible Filters
Pair this mask with the Shigematsu ABEK1 Multi-Gas Cartridge Filter for gas and vapour protection, or add the P3RC Clip-On Pre-Filter for combined particulate and gas filtration. Use the filter selection calculator to confirm the correct filter class for your job.
