P95 Filter Model 2071 for Respiratory Protection Mask

The 3M P95 filter is designed to block at least 95% of airborne particles, including those containing oil. This model 2071 is NIOSH-approved and easily installed on respiratory masks from the 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series. Lightweight and compact, it allows smooth breathing while ensuring optimal filtration. This filter is recommended for grinding, sanding, welding, and other activities that generate dust or oily mists.

Versatile Protection Against Particles and Oils

Features of the P95 Filter for Respiratory Mask

The P95 filter model 2071 stands out for its ability to filter solid and liquid particles, including oily aerosols. It is designed to resist humidity and can be used in environments where oil is frequently present. Its compatibility with 3M mask series 6000, 7000 and FF-400 makes it a versatile choice for professionals. This filter is sold in pairs and can be used alone or in combination with a filter holder and cartridge for enhanced protection.

Installing the P95 Filter Model 2071 on Respiratory Mask

To install the P95 2071 filter, simply attach it directly to the connectors of the compatible respiratory mask. Make sure the filter is properly locked in place and shows no visible defects. If a cartridge is used, the filter can be mounted using a designated 3M adapter. A seal check is recommended after installation to ensure complete respiratory protection.

Application of the P95 Filter Model 2071 on Respiratory Mask

This type of filter protects against certain metallic vapors emitted during welding, brazing, cutting, and other metal-heating activities. However, these filters do allow ozone to pass through. They offer protection against solid particles released during the processing of minerals, iron ore, coal, flour, or certain other substances. They are also effective against liquid particles from oily aerosols that do not emit harmful vapors.

Biological Particles

These filters can help reduce inhalation exposure to certain airborne biological particles, such as mold, Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Koch’s bacillus responsible for tuberculosis), pandemic flu viruses (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, they cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, illness, or disease. Due to the nature of certain biological contaminants, government agencies have not been able to determine exposure limits for all types of contaminants.

Restrictions of the P95 Filter Model 2071 on Respiratory Mask

Do not use if the user has a beard or suffers from a condition that may prevent direct contact between the mask edge and the face. These filters should not be used in the presence of concentrations exceeding the permissible limits of gases and vapors. Also avoid use during sandblasting or in areas with aerosol concentrations exceeding 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. These respiratory protection filters should only be used in areas that do not present a risk of oxygen deficiency.

Maintenance and Lifespan of the P95 Filter for Respiratory Mask

The filters are disposable and require no maintenance. They are designed with an estimated lifespan of 40 hours or 30 days. These figures are for informational purposes only and should not be the sole tool for estimating filter life. Since each work environment is different, it is important to follow the limits established by the manufacturer.

Usage Tips for the P95 Filter Model 2071

Use the P95 filter in environments where solid or liquid particles, including oily aerosols, are present. It is suitable for welding, grinding, cutting, and industrial environments exposed to fine dust. Do not use this filter in oxygen-deficient atmospheres or for gases and vapors without a complementary cartridge. Follow safety standards and manufacturer recommendations for maximum efficiency.
