Description
3M™ Particulate Respirator
8511, N95 is a disposable
particulate respirator that is
designed to help provide
reliable respiratory
protection of at least 95
percent filtration efficiency
against certain non oil based
particles. The respirator is
designed for use for particles
such as those from grinding,
sanding, sweeping, sawing,
bagging, or other dusty
operations. This respirator
can also help reduce
inhalation exposures to
certain airborne biological
particles (examples: mold,
Bacillus anthracis,
Mycobacterium tuberculosis),
but cannot eliminate the risk
of contracting infection,
illness, or disease. Soft
inner material provides added
comfort while the cup shape
design makes the respirator
spacious and durable. Braided
headbands and an adjustable M
noseclip helps provide a
custom and secure seal. The
respirator incorporates 3M’s
proprietary technology with
advanced electrostatically
charged microfiber filter
media designed for ease of
breathing. This respirator is
compatible with a variety of
protective eyewear and hearing
protection. Fitted with a 3M
Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve,
this respirator is ideally
suited for work situations
involving heat, humidity, or
long periods of wear. The
proprietary 3M Cool Flow valve
is designed to release hot,
humid exhaled breath quickly,
helping to prevent an
unpleasant build up of heat
inside the facepiece a
significant cause of
discomfort to respirator
wearers. The Cool Flow valve’s
efficiency in keeping
breathing cool and comfortable
has been demonstrated through
testing*: the atmosphere
inside a respirator with a
Cool Flow valve is on average
7.5°F cooler than the similar
product without the valve.
This makes Cool Flow valve
respirators ideal for long
periods of wear, especially
where conditions are hot,
humid or physically demanding.
