Pros & Cons
Pros
Used by icu nurse in icu covid-19 unit. Make sure you are using the correct cartridge for the chemical, vapor, or substance. Attachment action is positive and secure to 3m masks using the quarter turn notch type fitment.
If this is the filtration type you need, these are winners. They do an excellent job of filtering the air and keeping the chem smell out! If you epoxy or anything else with chemical fumes these are the filters you need.
They are very durable and the design protects you and protects itself. I was in a bed change (6 of us) where some of the team didn't tolerate it so well.
Cons
Who the heck replaces 1 side of a respirator? Not a nice way to treat a nurse during the middle of a pandemic. Pack of 2 is misleading because each mask uses 2 carbon filters so pack of 2 for 24 dollars is armed robbery. It's quite likely that plain o... Read More
Highlights
Quality
3m makes a great high quality industrial type of performance.
In my view, every diyer should have and use a high quality respirator that handles dust/particulates and carbon filter for chemical vapors.
Forgot to put it in a zip lock bag after use and left out in the open for several weeks.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of proper ppe when using hazardous substances that can end your life or worse.
Price
Great value, and worked exactly as described
On the 4-stars under 'value for the money', simply was able to purchase a follow-up order locally for a few bucks less.

Fantastic product but can be found elsewhere at a more reasonable price!
Shipping
They were great the sell sent out right away so i don’t have to wait great service
The product is exactly as stated and was shipped almost immediately, arriving faster than most all orders i've placed.
Competitiveness
They're on another class of their own (significantly better than n95) and filter organic vapors as well.
No longer will i use any brand than the 3m filters.
I only use the 3m brand filter cartriges for the purpose that it works better than most of the generic brand ones.
These are more solid and have more filter media than the off-brands.
