Abstract: Disclosed is a particularly lightweight breathing mask for respiratory applications or as personal protective equipment, in which the rigid component is produced from thermoplastic films by means of high-pressure forming. The base material of the rigid component is available in a flat form and can thus be printed or coated in a variety of ways before processing; this allows properties to be introduced into the mask that would not be feasible in a conventional injection molding process. The use of film instead of injection-molded components enables a significant reduction in weight and thus an improvement in wearing comfort for the user.
