3M Adflo 35-0699 Nuisance Odor Buffer Assembly

3M Adflo 35-0699 Nuisance Odor Buffer Assembly

The 3M Adflo 35-0699 Nuisance Odor Buffer Assembly is an optional accessory designed to reduce nuisance odor concentrations when using the 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator. This buffer installs directly on the Adflo turbo system and helps filter organic vapors and acid gases present at concentrations below the OSHA permissible exposure limits or applicable workplace exposure limits. It is particularly recommended for welding environments where fumes, organic vapors, or acid gases may be present. Its useful service life is 60 months.

3M Manufacturer Code: 7100017139, model: 35-0699-99X01

The 35-0699 buffer is sold individually and is compatible with 3M Adflo respirators used with Speedglas welding helmets 9100 Air Series, 9100 FX-Air, 9100 MP, M-400SG Series, and G5-01. It mounts in the Adflo respirator filtration compartment, between the spark arrestor and the high-efficiency filter. This buffer is a consumable product to be replaced according to the frequency of exposure and manufacturer recommendations. Origin: Canada.

Replace the 35-0699 buffer according to manufacturer recommendations or as soon as odors begin to manifest during use. Maximum useful service life is 60 months from the manufacturing date, but actual duration depends on contaminant concentration and frequency of use. Always store the buffer in its original packaging away from light and moisture. Ensure the spark arrestor (R15/0009) and the high-efficiency filter (R15/0299) are properly installed before using the buffer.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 35-0699 buffer replace the high-efficiency particulate filter?

No. The 35-0699 buffer is a complementary accessory to the Adflo high-efficiency particulate filter (15-0299). These two components serve different roles: the high-efficiency filter retains fine particles and welding fumes, while the 35-0699 buffer helps reduce nuisance concentrations of organic vapors and acid gases. For complete protection, both components must be used together with the spark arrestor (15-0009) in the correct installation order: spark arrestor, then high-efficiency filter, then odor buffer.

What types of odors and gases can the 35-0699 buffer reduce?

The 35-0699 buffer is designed to reduce nuisance concentrations (below OSHA or workplace exposure limits) of organic vapors and acid gases. It is particularly effective in welding environments where ozone fumes, nitrogen dioxide, and other welding by-products are present. It is not designed to replace protection against immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) concentrations. Consult the safety data sheets of products used and CNESST or OSHA exposure recommendations to confirm the adequacy of the protection.

Is the 35-0699 buffer compatible with the Speedglas SG-15 welding helmet?

The 35-0699 buffer is a component of the 3M Adflo respirator, not of the welding helmet itself. It is compatible with the Adflo system that can be used with Speedglas 9100 Air, 9100 FX-Air, 9100 MP welding helmets and the G5-01 series. The SG-15 protection shroud (reference RSG15) is a Speedglas helmet accessory worn under the Adflo unit to protect the neck and upper chest from spatter. Both products are part of the integrated 3M Speedglas/Adflo protection system.
