This type of filter is made of randomly distributed fiberglass membrane. It is certified P100 which means it captures at least 99.97 % of the particles in the air. The letter «P» stands for "oil proof". None of the components of these filters are made of natural rubber latex.

Use for:
They can be used for protection from solid, liquid, oil based, non-oil based particles and sprays that do not emit harmful vapors.

They offer protection against oil based particles, radioactive particles (uranium, plutonium), heavy metals particles (lead, cadmium, arsenic), and carcinogenic particles (4,4’-Methylenedianiline (MDA)).  It is highly advised to stay away from environment that exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit set by the CNESST or any other government regulation applicable.

Biological particles:
This respirator helps prevent the inhalation of certain airborne biological particles like mold, Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tubercle bacillus Koch) the main causative agent of tuberculosis, pandemic flues (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, it cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease. Due to the nature of some contaminants, the exposure limit value of some products and byproducts haven’t been quantified by governmental agencies, thus wearing a respirator doesn’t necessarily protects you.

Do not use on a beard and other facial hair or if the user suffers from a condition that prevents him from having direct contact with the respirator’s sides. One should never use a respirator regardless of the type of filters in use whenever concentrations of gases and vapors exceed 10 times the admissible limit set by the CNESST or any other regulation applicable. Avoid sandblasting and oxygen deprevated environments (an atmosphere with less than 19,5 % oxygen).

These numbers are in no way a reference since every work environments are different. The manufacturer’s limitations must be followed.
