DescriptionThe 3M™ Particulate Respirator 8246, R95, is designed to meet NIOSH certification standards and offers reliable protection against dust, mist, and nuisance level acid gases, making it ideal for environments with low concentrations of acid gases or organic vapors. Some models feature the 3M™ Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve, which helps release warm, moist exhaled breath, providing added comfort during long hours of wear. The adjustable noseclip options ensure a secure, custom fit, while the fully adjustable buckle straps or dual elastic headbands enhance comfort and effectiveness. The respirator incorporates 3M’s proprietary filter media, designed to make breathing easier, and offers models with an activated carbon filter layer to reduce nuisance organic vapors. For specific applications such as welding, soldering, grinding, or sanding, some models also include flame-resistant layers combined with cake-resistant filter media to prevent clogging during heavy use. These respirators are lightweight, disposable, and perfect for dusty, arid work environments, with suggested applications including welding, grinding, sanding, sweeping, and bagging. With 120 respirators per case, this is a practical, hygienic, and effective solution for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
