Application area for the 3M 6000 series half mask - small size

This model is recommended for work in confined spaces or in environments with high exposure to dust, vapors, or gases (solid and gaseous particles, chemical or biological). It is particularly suitable for smaller individuals working in painting, maintenance, welding, industrial cleaning, or manufacturing.

Of course, the filtration system must be adapted with the right filters or cartridges to provide adequate protection.

It is an economical choice for those who need it from time to time or for employers who need to provide a large number of masks to day laborers.

Care of the 3M half mask - small size

First, wipe with a disinfectant wipe after each use. This prevents biological contamination inside the mask.

Then, clean regularly with warm water and a mild solution to remove chemical particles from the outside of the mask. Air dry.

Replace filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Avoid use in oxygen-deficient atmospheres or during high-intensity sandblasting work with aerosol concentrations exceeding 10 times the permissible exposure limit set by the CNESST. Not recommended for people with beards or chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma or emphysema.

Facial hair or any other condition that may prevent direct contact between the edge of the mask and the face may compromise worker safety by not providing full protection.
