3M 2091 P100 filter for 3M respirators series 6000, 7500 and FF-400.

3M P100 Respirator Filter: Certified Performance for Demanding Environments

The P100 Filter Model 2091 is designed to meet the highest standards of respiratory protection. Certified by NIOSH under standard 42 CFR 84, it provides an effective barrier against fine particles, oily aerosols, and certain biological agents. Its lightweight, electrostatic design allows for comfortable breathing while ensuring maximum filtration. This filter is ideal for sanding, grinding, cutting, or any activity that generates hazardous dust.

Maximum Respiratory Protection Against Fine Particles and Oily Aerosols.

Key Features of the P100 Filter for Respirator Masks

The P100 Filter Model 2091 stands out for its ability to filter 99.97% of airborne particles, including toxic dust and oily aerosols. Sold in pairs, it easily installs 3M respirator masks from the 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series. Its flexible and durable structure allows for extended use in industrial, construction, or material processing environments. This filter is also effective against certain biological particles such as mold and pathogens.

Application of the P100 Filter

This type of filter protects against certain metallic vapors emitted during welding, brazing, cutting, and other heat-related metalworking activities. However, it does not block ozone.

It provides protection against solid particles released during mineral processing, iron ore, coal, flour, and other substances. It is also effective against liquid particles from oily aerosols that do not emit harmful vapors.

It offers reliable protection against oily aerosol particles, radioactive particles (uranium and plutonium), heavy metal particles (lead, cadmium, arsenic), low-level asbestos, and carcinogenic particles (4,4’-methylenedianiline (MDA)). This filter must not be used in environments exceeding 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), and pandemic flu strains (H5N1, H1N1). However, they cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, illness, or disease. Due to the nature of some biological contaminants, government agencies have not established exposure limits for all types.

Installing the P100 Filter on 3M Respirator Masks

Installing the P100 Filter Model 2091 is quick and easy. Simply attach it to the side connectors of compatible 3M respirator masks. Once locked in place, the filter ensures a perfect seal between the mask and the face, guaranteeing optimal respiratory protection against fine particles and oily aerosols.

Maintenance and Lifespan of the P100 Filter Model 2091

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 reference only and should not be the sole method for estimating filter life. Since every work environment is different, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines carefully.

Usage Tips for the P100 Filter for Respirator Masks

This P100 filter should be used in environments where particle 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 ensure the mask fits properly and that the seal between the mask edge and the face is tight. Proper fit is essential to ensure filter effectiveness.

Restrictions of the P100 Filter Model 2091

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-deficiency risk.

FAQ about the P100 Filter Model 2091 for 3M Respirator Masks

Does the P100 filter protect against oily aerosols?

Yes, it provides effective protection against oily aerosols and liquid particles suspended in the air.

Can this filter be used to protect against toxic dust?

The P100 filter is designed to capture 99.97% of particles, including toxic dust generated by sanding, grinding, or cutting.

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.
