Product Description

This disposable R95 particulate respirator helps provide reliable respiratory protection against certain oil and non-oil based particles. Constructed with a carbon filter layer for nuisance levels of acid gases.

From the Manufacturer

3M™ Particulate Respirator 8246, R95 with Nuisance Level Acid Gas Relief, is a disposable particulate respirator that is designed to help provide reliable respiratory protection of at least 95 percent filtration efficiency against certain oil and non-oil based particles. This lightweight respirator is constructed with carbon filter material for applications such as glass etching, chemical processing, paper processing, aluminum smelting, and brewing operations where particulates and nuisance levels of acid gases* such as sulphur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride and chlorine may be present. The respirator may also be appropriate for use while grinding, sanding, bagging, or sweeping in oil and non-oil environments and other dusty operations. Its adjustable noseclip helps in obtaining a secure seal and helps reduce the potential for eyewear fogging. The shell is collapse resistant for increased durability, and the respirator is compatible with a variety of protective eyewear and hearing protection.

This particulate respirator is a NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved R95 for environments containing certain oil and non-oil based particles and provides at least 95 percent filter efficiency. R-series particulate respirators can be used for up to 8 hours in environments where oil aerosols are present.

*3M recommended for relief against nuisance levels of acid gases. Nuisance level refers to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower.

Breathing hazardous particles can pose a risk to your health. NIOSH, a Federal government regulatory agency, has tested and approved the 3M Particulate Respirator 8246, which is designed to help reduce exposure to certain airborne particles.

From the manufacturer

What is the NIOSH Certified Equipment List (CEL)?

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), under authorization of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, provides a testing, approval, and certification program assuring respirators used in the workplace meet the standards of 42 CFR Part 84. Since 1994, NIOSH has maintained a searchable, online version of the Certified Equipment List.

The certified equipment list is a tool to help respirator users, safety managers, industrial hygienists, and others to:

*Determine if the respirator they are currently using or considering using is NIOSH-certified,

*Select the appropriate respirator to protect against the hazard(s) they are exposed to,

*Locate the correct replacement component parts for respirators with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear protections, and

*Learn what respirators are designed to provide protection from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents, and what manufacturers produce units meeting the NIOSH standards.

The Certified Equipment List is regularly updated as respirators are approved, made obsolete, or the status changes in any way."
