Trend Airshield Pro (AIR/PRO)

◉ Verified against primary source · 2026-07-06 current

Trend's all-in-one, self-contained powered air respirator: an integrated head-mounted hood/visor/blower unit (no separate headtop or waist pack) sold primarily into the woodworking/joinery trade — Trend's own product page markets it for "hardwood, MDF, brick, concrete and stone dust particles" and "all woodworking applications" — but it is not a welding PAPR: it is a positive-pressure loose-fitting dust respirator with no welding-fume-rated filter option. There is real crossover interest from grinders/stonemasons: the official AIR/PRO product page's own FAQ list includes "Can I use the AIR/PRO when dealing with metal grinding dust," "Can the AIR/PRO be used in mining," and "Can the Airshield be used when cutting and grinding sandstone," alongside brick/concrete/stone dust in the main description — i.e. Trend itself markets to a woodworking-plus-masonry/grinding-dust audience, not a fume/gas audience. Certified per the official page as "Positive Pressure APF20 Respiratory Protection (EN 12941:1999 TH2P)" and, in the same page's spec table and "Details" section, "Approved to standard BS EN 12941 TH2P-S" / "Respiratory protection (NPF50): BS EN 12941 TH2P-S" — Trend's own page is internally inconsistent between "TH2P" (headline bullet) and "TH2P-S" (spec table + Details + the AIR/P/1 filter's own "Filter type: TH2P-S" spec), so both are recorded here verbatim rather than picking one. Eye protection: "EN 166:2002 1B3" (medium-energy impact, liquid droplets/splashes). Sold as three plug/region SKUs: AIR/PRO (UK & Euro plug, "For UK & Eire sale only"), AIR/PRO/EUR (230V Euro plug, authorised distributors only), and AIR/PRO/ANZ (240V AU/NZ plug, AS/NZS 1716:2003 PAPR-P2 + AS/NZS 1337:1992 OVC, authorised distributors only). This record covers the AIR/PRO (UK/EU) SKU and its common wearable spares.
