Workers want respirators and masks that are both reusable and disposable, comfortable, lightweight, and convenient. 3M developed the first filtering facepiece respirator to receive NIOSH approval in 1972 and has continued to create numerous proprietary technologies that have been incorporated throughout 3M’s products. Today, their extensive family of respirators and masks offers a full range of comfort, convenience, and value.

Workers in many industries require protection from airborne particles and mists. Sweeping, sanding, grinding, sawing, bagging, and welding each create a unique set of conditions, especially given environmental considerations such as heat and humidity. 3M’s wide selection of filtering facepiece respirators and masks helps users match the respirator to their environment. 3M uses a variety of innovative technologies and features to help customers meet their protection and comfort needs. They are all NIOSH 42 CFR 84 approved and include the following features:

• Lightweight and comfortable
