Provides protection against: Particulates (P2/P3*). The protective casing helps deflect sparks and splashes of liquid. The casing also assists in environments where decontamination is required.

* Higher P3 protection factors only achieved with a 3M Full Face Respirator, otherwise P2 protection level when worn on a 3M Half Face Respirator.

Protection Factors

Note that any filtering respirator should not be used for protection at airborne concentrations of contaminants above the relevant IDLH levels.

This cartridge/filter, when used for protection against the contaminants as specified, is capable of providing the following protection levels:

- With a 3M 6000/7500 Series Half Face Respirator: for particles, for airborne concentrations up to 10 times the Workplace Exposure Standard (WES)
- With a 3M 6000/7800 Series Full Face Respirator: for particles, for airborne concentrations up to 100 x WES

• Solid top design reduces the chance of premature caking, clogging, or soiling with dirt, grime, water or dust
• Protective casing aids decontamination practices
• Temperature resistant cover protects filter media from heat, sparks or physical damage
• Patented bonded web technology has more surface area than many standard filters which helps lower breathing resistance making it more comfortable to use
• 3M™ Bayonet Connection System ensures precise and secure locking
• Low profile and well balanced twin filter design
• Suitable for use with 3M™ 6000/7500 Series Half Face Respirators and 3M™ 6000/7000 Series Full Face Respirators

Suggested Applications

• Common Applications/Hazards: - For protection against certain particles, dusts, mists and fumes such as sanding, grinding, cutting, drilling metal, masonry, wood and concrete - Carrying out lead or mould remediation - Also for certain asbestos tasks (refer to local Government guidelines***) - Ideal if requiring a protective casing to deflect sparks, splashes or to wipe down
