The 3M particulate filters provide protection against a variety of dusts, mists, and other particles. They ensure low breathing resistance and balance the mask well. The sleek, backward-curved profile offers an optimal field of vision while wearing the mask. Selected filters from the series can be used in conjunction with a 3M 501 filter holder and a 3M gas and vapor filter to provide combined gas, vapor, and particulate protection. The filters are available in P2 and P3 performance levels, with plastic housing options for demanding environments and those requiring easy decontamination. Installing the filters is simple and secure: align the connections and tighten them firmly. They can be used with all 3M reusable respirators with a bayonet connection. To find out which filter is suitable for your environment and to assist you in creating a schedule for filter changes, please use the 3M Service Life and Select Software.
