Particulate respirators

Particulate Respirators by 3M combine ergonomic design for superior comfort with proprietary technologies that help deliver easier breathing and comfortable protection against particle hazards.

The 3M™ High Performance Filter Media combines the benefits of mechanical filtration with advanced technology filtration to capture particles and the 3M™ Cool Flow™ valve reduces heat build up.

All 3M™ Particulate Respirators are exempt from record keeping requirements.

Reusable respirators

Our range of 3M™ Reusable Respirators offers exceptional quality and value for money when protecting your workers against industrial gases, vapours and particulate hazards.

Not only do these masks protect, but they are comfortable and easy to use. Different half mask and full face mask sizes mean there is a product to suit almost every individual, with both lightweight and durable options available depending on the hazard in question.

3M™ Reusable Respirators can be used with a broad range of filters that offer effective protection against gases, vapours and particles.

For prolonged period of use, reusable masks by 3M offer exceptional value and quality.

Supplied Air & Powered Air Respirators

3M has developed a comprehensive and versatile range of industry proven powered air and supplied air respirators especially for hazardous working environments.

Regardless of whether you choose a PAPR respirator or supplied air system both can offer ‘All in one’ protection – respiratory, head, eye, face as well as neck and shoulder coverage.

These are available in a simple ‘build your own’ modular format or as complete systems depending on user preference.

The criteria for choosing the optimal protection system include the level and type of hazard in the work area, duration of exposure and work conditions such as heat or strenuous work.
