Technical Features of the 3M Series 7800 Respiratory Mask

This full-face respiratory protection mask stands out for its soft silicone design, ensuring prolonged comfort even during intensive use. Its polycarbonate visor offers increased resistance to impacts and scratches. The adjustable harness system allows for precise and stable fittings.

Installing the 3M Full-Face Respiratory Protection Mask

To properly install the 3M Series 7800 respiratory mask, it is essential to check the integrity of the silicone face seal. Place the mask on the face, ensuring the visor is correctly positioned in front of the eyes. Adjust the harness straps to ensure a uniform and comfortable fit. Insert the compatible cartridges or filters into the side connectors, following the manufacturer's recommendations. A seal check is recommended before each use to ensure effective respiratory protection.

Application of the 3M Full-Face Respiratory Protection Mask

This type of respiratory protection mask is recommended for tasks that release solid and liquid particles into the air or for work in environments where there are airborne contaminants and/or biological particles. The filtration system must be adapted with the correct filters or cartridges to ensure adequate protection.

Restrictions of the Full-Face Respiratory Mask

It is not recommended to use a respiratory protection mask when facial hair is visible. Facial hair or any other condition that prevents direct contact between the mask edge and the face can compromise worker safety by not providing full protection. Do not use if you suffer from a respiratory illness such as asthma or emphysema. Do not use during sandblasting or in areas where aerosol concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit set by CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. This respiratory protection mask should only be used in areas that do not present a risk of oxygen deficiency. To achieve a protection factor against concentrations 50 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST, workers must successfully pass a quantitative fit test. Currently, this test is provided by the manufacturer by appointment and according to their pricing.

Maintenance and Lifespan of the 3M Full-Face Respiratory Protection Mask

This full face mask is reusable provided it is maintained and stored according to guidelines. 3M recommends always inspecting the mask before use, cleaning it after use, and storing it in its packaging when not in use. During cleaning, it is important not to use solvents, as they may weaken certain mask components, affecting its effectiveness. Always remove cartridges or filters after use.

Usage Tips for the 3M Respiratory Protection Mask

Use the 3M Series 7800 full face mask in environments where the concentration of gases, vapors, or particles do not exceed permissible exposure limits. Ensure the mask is properly fitted and that the filters are suitable for the type of contaminant. Do not use the mask in oxygen-deficient atmospheres or if a leak is detected. For optimal respiratory protection, follow safety instructions and regulations applicable to your industry.
