You may see dust and debris in the air, but many of the particles that threaten your airways can't always be seen with the naked eye. Protect yourself and your workers with 3M disposable respirators.
From chemical face masks to dust masks and respirators, there are options to protect against airborne particles and mists that can affect your workers’ health. Choose from 3M's wide selection of NIOSH-approved filtering facepiece respirators for numerous work-related tasks. 3M provides a variety of innovative technologies and features – all designed to provide comfort, convenience and value.
A respirator can’t give workers all the protection it was designed to provide, unless it is selected and worn correctly during all periods of exposure. That’s why 3M uses a variety of innovative technologies and features designed to enhance user comfort and help increase wear time.
