This respirator filter from 3M gives you a breath of fresh air in hazardous work environments. It safely traps airborne particles such as dust and oil mists for effective protection. The P2 rating makes it safe for use at particle levels up to 50 times the regulation exposure on full facemasks, letting you breeze through tasks in contaminated areas. Compatibility with a wide range of 3M's half-face units (such as 516-7215) and full-face respirators (such as 286-7136) makes the filter a sure fit for your PPE.

• Conforms to the shape of your filter unit to maximise field of vision
• Low breathing resistance for comfort and extended wearing periods
• Supplied in a box of 20 for use in multiple jobs

• Spray painting
• Woodworking

Applications

Filtered respirator facemasks are essential PPE for environments where particle ingress can be potentially hazardous to your health, such as gas, vapours or dust. They are often more suitable for heavy-duty tasks than disposable facemasks. Replaceable respirator particulate filters are graded in different ways to indicate their suitability for different applications, such as;

• A- Organic vapours with a boiling point more than 65°C
• B- Inorganic vapours
• E- Acid gases
• K- Ammonia and ammonia derivatives
• AX- Organic vapours with a boiling point less than 65°C

The component simply slots into a compatible gas filter cartridge (287-2677) and attaches to your respirator.

Correct use of respirators

When it comes to respiratory protection, the correct fitting and testing of your respirator is just as important as selecting the correct respiratory protective equipment for your working conditions. Be sure to follow all pertinent instructions and that health and safety best practice is adhered to at all times. Always be sure to use the correct filters for your environment, and make sure the replacement filters are changed as regularly as is recommended.
