3M Particulate Respirator 8577, P95 User Manual

Producte acabatview

The 3M Particulate Respirator 8577, P95 is a disposable respirator designed to provide reliable respiratory protection. It offers at least 95 percent filtration efficiency against certain oil and non-oil based particles. A key feature is its carbon layer, which helps reduce exposure to nuisance levels of organic vapors, including those from solvents, degreasers, and resins. This respirator is suitable for various applications such as foundry operations, lab settings, agriculture, petrochemical manufacturing, and undercoating where particles and nuisance levels of organic vapors may be present.

The design incorporates braided headbands and an M-Noseclip for easy adjustment, aiming to reduce pressure points and enhance comfort. It utilizes 3M’s proprietary technology with advanced electrostatically charged microfiber filter media, facilitating ease of breathing. The respirator is compatible with a range of protective eyewear and hearing protection. Equipped with a 3M Cool Flow Exhalation Valve, it is particularly well-suited for environments with heat, humidity, or for extended periods of wear, as the valve helps release hot, humid exhaled breath quickly, reducing heat buildup.

5. Adjust Noseclip: Using both hands, mold the M-Noseclip to the shape of your nose by pressing downwards and inwards. Ensure a tight seal around the nose bridge.
6. Perform Seal Check:
   • For respirators without an exhalation valve: Place both hands completely over the respirator and exhale sharply.
   • For respirators with an exhalation valve (like Model 8577): Place both hands completely over the respirator and inhale sharply.
   If air leaks around the edges, readjust the noseclip and headbands until a proper seal is achieved. If you cannot achieve a proper seal, do not enter the contaminated area.
