2078 P95 filter, organic vapors and acid gas for 3M series 6000, 7500 & FF-400.

3M P95 Respirator Filter: Reliable and Certified Protection

The 3M P95 Filter Model 2078 is designed to meet the needs of workers in contaminated environments. Thanks to its patented electrostatic membrane, it effectively captures both oily and non-oily particles while providing a barrier against low concentrations of organic vapors and acid gases. This respiratory protection filter complies with NIOSH standard 42 CFR 84, ensuring certified and safe performance for industrial, metallurgical, or mineral processing settings.

Optimal Respiratory Protection Against Particles, Organic Vapors and acid gas.

Technical Features of the P95 Filter for 3M Masks

The P95 2078 filter stands out for its flame-resistant and moisture-resistant design, ensuring optimal resistance to oily particles. Sold in pairs, it easily installs 3M respirator masks from the 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series. This filter is particularly suitable for welding, brazing, cutting, and other processes that generate metallic vapors or ozone. It can also help reduce exposure to certain biological particles such as mold or airborne pathogens.

Installing the P95 Filter on 3M Respirator Masks

To install the P95 Filter Model 2078, simply attach it to the side connectors of compatible respirator masks from the 6000, 7000, or FF-400 series. Installation is quick and secure, ensuring optimal sealing between the filter and the mask. It is essential to verify that the filter is properly locked in place to guarantee effective respiratory protection against particles and organic vapors.

Application of the P95 Filter

This type of filter protects against certain metallic vapors emitted during welding, brazing, cutting, and other heat-related metalworking activities. These filters can be used to protect against ozone released during such operations, as long as the ozone concentration does not exceed 10 times the limit set by CNESST. These filters must not be used in environments saturated with ozone or other gases and organic vapors.

They offer protection against solid particles released during mineral processing operations, iron ore, coal, flour, or other substances. They are also effective against liquid particles from oily aerosols that do not emit harmful vapors.

These filters are effective against liquid particles from oily aerosols emitting harmful concentrations of organic vapors, including sulfur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and/or chlorine (Cl). They may also be used in environments with harmful concentrations of acid gases. This type of filter must not be used on a mask in environments exceeding concentrations greater than 10 times the exposure limit set by CNESST.

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 strains (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 for 3M Masks

Do not use if the wearer has a beard or a condition that prevents direct contact between the mask edge and the face. These filters should not be used in the presence of concentrations exceeding the permitted limits of gases and vapors. Do not use during sandblasting or in environments with aerosol concentrations exceeding 10 times the exposure limit set by CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. These respiratory protection filters must only be used in areas that do not present an oxygen-deficient risk.

Maintenance and Lifespan of the P95 Filter on 3M Respirator Masks

These 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 every work environment is different, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines carefully.

Usage Tips for the P95 Filter for Respirator Masks

This P95 filter should be used in environments where contaminant concentrations do not exceed 10 times the exposure limit set by CNESST. It is not suitable for oxygen-deficient atmospheres or environments saturated with toxic gases or vapors. The user must not have a beard or any condition preventing a tight seal between the mask and the face. Proper mask fit is essential to ensure filter effectiveness.

FAQ about the P95 Filter Model 2078 for 3M Respirator Masks

Does the P95 filter protect against acid gases?

Yes, it provides protection against low concentrations of acid gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and chlorine, within admissible limits.

Can this filter be used to protect against biological particles?

The P95 filter can reduce exposure to certain airborne biological particles but does not guarantee complete protection against infections.

Is this filter compatible with all 3M masks?

It is compatible with 3M respirator masks from the 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series but should not be used with masks not designed to accommodate this type of filter.
