4. Operating Conditions and Applications

When properly fitted, the 3M 2097 P100 Particulate Filters can be used in a variety of applications where protection against certain particulates and nuisance levels of organic vapors is required.

Aplicacions recomanades:

• Soldadura
• Soldadura

• Soldadura
• Exposure to lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA

These filters provide protection for concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) with half facepieces or 50 times PEL with full facepieces. For full facepieces, quantitative fit testing is required to claim an assigned protection factor above 10 in negative pressure mode. Always refer to specific provincial regulations for appropriate assigned protection factors.

The filters also offer nuisance level relief from organic vapors that are below the PEL. Nuisance level refers to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or other applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower.
