This 3M Reusable Respirator 7500 Series uses advanced silicone material to help provide comfortable and durable respiratory protection. A unique adjustment design helps reduce pressure points on the face for even more comfort. 3M Cool Flow Valve helps make breathing easier and can reduces heat and moisture build-up for cool, dry comfort. Respirator helps provide protection against particulates and a wide variety of gases and vapors when used with approved 3M cartridges and filters (not included). When properly fitted and used with approved 3M cartridges and filters, this respirator (commonly referred to as a “mask”) helps provide respiratory protection at concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). The exhalation valve cover directs exhaled breath and moisture downward while helping protect the valve area from debris while also making for easier cleaning. Recommended applications include abatement, painting, welding, chemical handling, construction, utilities, mining, pharmaceutical, and smelting. NIOSH, a Federal government regulatory agency, has tested and approved the 7500 Series with 3M cartridges, filters or supplied air systems to help reduce breathing certain airborne contaminants.
