3M™ Particulate Respirator 8247 – R95 Mask with Carbon Layer

The 3M™ 8247 R95 Respirator is a specialized disposable mask designed for environments containing both particulate hazards and nuisance levels of organic vapors. Unlike standard N-series masks, the R95 rating indicates it is resistant to oil-based aerosols for up to an eight-hour work shift.

Key Features & Benefits

• NIOSH Approved R95: Provides at least 95% filtration efficiency against both oil and non-oil-based airborne particles.

• Nuisance Odour Relief: Features an integrated activated carbon layer that helps reduce exposure to unpleasant nuisance levels of organic vapors, such as solvents, degreasers, and resins.

• Oil Resistance: The "R" rating means this respirator is "Resistant to oil," making it versatile for diverse industrial applications where oils may be present.

• Collapse-Resistant Shell: The classic cup-shaped design offers increased durability and maintains its structure in high-heat or humid conditions.

• Secure Seal: Includes an adjustable nose clip and a two-strap design to help provide a custom, secure fit and minimize the risk of eyewear fogging.

Ideal Applications

This respirator is an excellent choice for specialized industrial tasks, including:

• Foundry Operations: Grinding and laboratory settings.

• Petrochemical Plants: Handling chemicals or maintenance near oil-based mists.

• Agricultural Use: Applying certain pesticides or fertilizers.

• Undercoating: Automotive work involving underseal or solvent-based odors.
