Question 1

does each one has individual plastic packaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they certainly do. Top quality & complying with all relevant standards.

Question 2

Are these useful against bushfire smoke? Thank you

Accepted Answer

I'm no expert on smoke hazards or other fine particle hazards. Use them for other reasons. But this filter mask is graded to industrial and clinical standards.  I believe this grade offers the highest protection you can find for disposable respirator masks. Found this online: 
"Protection class FFP3 respirator masks offer maximum protection from breathing air pollution. The total leakage may amount to a maximum of 5% and they must filter 99% of all particles measuring up to 0.6 μm. This kind of mask also filters poisonous, oncogenic and radioactive particles "

I can tell you that the masks are very comfortable to wear and fit very well. Firm fit but comfortable. No breathing problems. Only issue is that the elastic snaps easily so you must be gentle pulling the mask over your head. For quick repairs, I have used a stapler.

Question 3

Is this anti viral mask? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

This will give you 98% protection against corona virus particles it said on one website. FFP3 is a strict test but not specifically for corona virus. I take them as being the best protection you can buy, with an accompanying high price for a disposable mask. this of course depends on it being a genuine product which is where the rub is if you are having people in the world who would forge £5 notes why would they not forge masks that cost £1 - £3? if you reuse them they become looser and thus work less well plus the tacky seal over the nose which is vital to the function is at it's best first time round. they protect other people around you 0% due to the valve, so you can only wear them outdoors/places where other people are not bothering to wear a mask. think that is why the valved version is so much cheaper.

Question 4

How does this compare to the 8835+ which is also ffp3? which is more comfortable, has better fit etc? seems the straps on the 8835+ is superior, no?

Accepted Answer

Hi, the 9332 is comfortable to use, and fits well as it’s designed for facial movement. I can’t talk about the 8835+ As I haven’t used them but most manufacturers use a higher model number for the better products ie. 9332+ is higher than 8835+. No face is mask is comfortable for continued use though and they get moist from you breathing. If you’ve got the money buy the better mask, especially if you are hoping to reduce the risk of coronavirus infection. Follow the manufacturers instructions that come with them and make sure it seals well against the face and covers your nose and mouth. The red straps indicate it is an FFP3 3M mask.
