3M – Time for a change?

With a wide range of half masks, full face masks and interchangeable filters, 3M reusable masks, also known as reusable face masks, can be used for a variety of applications and in a variety of hazardous environments.

However, it is important that filters are replaced regularly. Particle filters become clogged and it becomes more difficult for the wearer to breathe due to an increased physiological load. Gas and vapor filters begin to pass contaminants as soon as their activated carbon becomes saturated. This is called breakthrough.

What types of filters are there?
Particle filters
Protect only against particles, i.e. dust, mists and vapours, aerosols, smoke, mold, bacteria, etc.

Gas/Vapour Filters
Protect only against gases and vapours. There are different types of gas and vapor filters for different types of gases.

Combination filters
Protect against both particles and gases. Depending on the gas or vapor present in the air, different combination gas, vapor and particulate filters are used.

What types of half masks are there?
With a wide range of half masks, 3M reusable masks can be used for a variety of applications and in a variety of hazardous environments. The different filters can be mounted on the Secure Click, 7500, 6500QL and 6000 series half masks.

How often do you replace your filters?
Using respiratory protection filters can be confusing and complicated, and there are a number of common questions and issues that arise regularly. The 3M downloadable white paper on filter rotation provides a brief answer to this. You will also find diagrams here, so that you know which masks and filters can be combined.
