3M Respirators
As one of the leading designers and manufacturers of respirators in the world, 3M provides products that address the needs of both workplace, regulated applications and do-it-yourself, non-regulated applications. For workplace uses, employees may be exposed to known concentrations of harmful contaminants for part or all of the workday. In these situations, respirators are intended to help protect the wearer by reducing their exposure to airborne contaminants from a level that may be hazardous to one that is considered safe or acceptable according to government established levels. In addition, home users cannot easily determine exposure levels nor do they have ready access to the type of training medical evaluation and fit testing needed to be in compliance with workplace respirator standards. In these situations, respirators are intended to help keep non-harmful dusts and certain particles out of your nose, mouth and lungs and with some filters help eliminate annoying odors only.
About NIOSH Respirators
This respirator is government approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as an N95 class respirator and is designed for workplace, regulated uses and applications. NIOSH certification means the respirator has passed stringent government performance standards including filtration efficiency testing and provides at least 95% filtration efficiency solid and liquid particles that do not contain oil.
Fitting Instructions
1. Place respirator over mouth and nose, then pull harness over the crown of your head
2. Take bottom straps in both hands, place them in back of your neck, and hook them together.
3. Position face-piece low on the bridge of your nose for optimal visibility and best fit.
4. Adjust top straps first, then lower neck straps by pulling on ends. Do not pull too tight. Strap tension can be decreased by pushing out on back side of buckles. Perform a positive pressure seal check.
Positive Pressure Seal Check
1. Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve cover and exhale gently. If face-piece bulges slightly and no air leaks are detected between your face and the face-piece, a proper fit has been obtained
2. If air leakage is detected, reposition respirator on your face and/or readjust tension of the elastic straps to eliminate leakage
3. Repeat above steps until a tight seal is obtained

4 ½ stars- I bought this product specifically for its ability to block organic vapors in the 3M Hi-Tack 76 Spray Adhesive. It was an unqualified success in keeping those vapors out of my respiratory system. The one time I felt encumbered by it and removed it to do some detail work a nose length's distance from the project (inside a vehicle), I paid for it by spending a few hours the remainder of the day trying to clear my upper bronchial area and throat.
The respirator comes with 4 huge foldout pamphlets.
1 for the Organic Vapor Cartridge
1 for the Particulate Filter
1 for the respirator body
1 outlining the protections provided for 38 configurations of various respirator components.
Moreover, the user is directed to read and fully understand all of these instructions before proceeding AND before occupational use, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting various government requirements! Some heavy duty stuff! Leads me to believe I bought the right one!
Assembling the respirator was otherwise fairly intuitive except for 1 small detail. Although it is probably stated somewhere, 4 particulate filters are included. They are compactly pressed inside their respective holders that snap on to the OV Cartridge. At a brief glance, it looked like the particulate filter housing just needed to be snapped onto the OVC and we would be ready to rock. One side kept popping off and found that each PF housing had 2 filters in it. Nowhere in the volume of instructional material does is mention to separate the PF filters, making sure to install only one per side. I believe the only place where 4 PF filters might be mentioned is in the description on the product before ordering. Also not mentioned (at least not in an obvious manner) is whether or not the respirator can be used without the PF filters. I presume it can because there is no warning cautioning against it.
Although the snaps and straps looked like they would be a rat's nest, they absolutely were not. One set fits over the back of the head and the other easily snaps together behind the neck. The one behind the neck has a fastener that makes it very easy to attach just by feel. I think the mask is extremely comfortable for the protection it provides.
The Organic Vapor cartridge is dated. The one I received had a use before date of 1/20/2016. It is not clear if that date is good only as long as it remains in the sealed package. Useful life is likely shortened after initial use, but I don't know yet by how much. So far, I needed it only for this project and has only about a total of 1/2 hour exposure to organic vapors.
The straps did not interfere with a pair of safety glasses that I used over a pair of very low profile readers from costco.
I dinged the rating only for the inexplicable irony of the lack of direction on how to deal with those particulate filters and lack of ease in gauging the life of the Organic Vapor cartridge(s).
My concern was with sizing. I was hoping to use this both with painting and other chemicals I use in hobby work as well as for my mother who does her own pest control around her house. I'm not a large person, my mother is smaller still. I was concerned whether the Medium would fit.
From what I've read researching the product, 3M assumes Medium will fit 90% of people and small and large for the people that have problems fitting equipment. Since this is for something more critical than work gloves or a hard hat I was worried. The medium fit perfectly, I'm a very skinny guy and my mother has a rounder face than I do but this fit perfectly. It took some getting used to to be comfortable on the bridge of the nose while still holding an airtight fit but the folded rubber seal was both much more comfortable than I thought it would be as well as very forgiving on fit.
I wear glasses but didn't have any problem wearing them and the respirator nor with the safety glasses I ordered with this (also 3M, the Maxim Safety Splash Goggle). No chance on getting the expensive test they sell to verify it was perfect, but even in a closed room with spray paint, pesticide or other chemicals I can't smell a thing and have no issues from prolonged exposure.
Make sure you get the right filters for the job. I chose 3M because the quality and wide variety of filters for different hazards which are compatible with this mask. They sell them all over Amazon and plenty of other specialty websites.
Also, it comes with 2 dust covers. Those are the little white pads that look kind of like dust masks. They're packaged inside the clear plastic tops of the filter. The filter itself is the gray cartridge that attaches to the mask and you only need to use one of the white pads in each. Those are for fine particulates (like dust) while the cartridge does the important work. For some reason it never really touches on that in the voluminous instructions.
I was very pleased with this respirator. It's performed exactly as advertised and honorable mention to the ease and quickness with which it can be fitted onto a variety of faces by the easy to use pull ties. They can be a tad annoying since they're still in your field of view but I found it easy to overlook.

Es fácil ponerla, quitarla y ajustarla. Viene con una hoja de especificaciones técnicas increíblemente incomprensible para quien no es experto en sistemas de filtrado de aire.
Yo la he usado para trabajar con pintura acrílica en aerosol y realmente es imposible percibir olor alguno. Se puede usar también para lijar maderas, limpieza en lugares con mucho polvo, etc.
El empaque incluye un par adicional de filtros.
This designed to perform and perform it does. Easy assembly, great fit and good seal around the face. According the MSDS this product pretty much has you covered for pretty much anything you are likely to be asking it to do. At the end of the day if you buy cheap alternative product and it lets you down and this results in debilitating physical complications, how confident are you are going to be trying to find that manufacturer / drop shipper that sold you a product claiming to be of a certain safety specification that ultimately wasn’t. It’s a simple equation: Risk Vs Return.
