- NIOSH approved for environments containing certain oil and non-oil based particles. These include mining, shipbuilding, abatement, utilities. 3M recommended for against nuisance* level vapors..
- USE WITH 3M 5000 Series Respirators or 3M and Vapor Cartridges 6000 Series (with Adaptor 502) which are approved for use with 3M Half Facepiece 6000, 6500 and 7500 Series or 3M Full Facepiece 6000, FF-400 or 7800S Series..
- EASY BREATHING: 3M's Advanced Electret Filter Media efficiently captures particles in 3 layers of filtration, compared to 5 layers in traditional filters. Fewer layers makes breathing easier while offering the same level of protection..
- RUGGED DURABILITY: The netting construction technology increases durability for a longer lasting filter..
- EASY TWIST ON AND OFF: Bayonet connection twist on and off easily for quick assembly and disassembly with many 3M half and full facepiece designs..
- For industrial/occupational use only. Not for consumer sale or use..
Product Description
-------------------
3M Advanced Particulate Filter 2297, P100, is designed to make
breathing easier while lasting longer. NIOSH approved for
environments containing certain oil and non-oil based particles.
3M recommended for against nuisance* level vapors
and for ozone protection up to 10X the OSHA Permissible Exposure
Limit (PEL). Use with 3M Reusable Respirators 5000 Series or 3M
Cartridge 6000 Series with 3M Adapter 502, or 3M Half and Full
Facepieces 6000, 7000 and FF 400 Series with bayonet filter
holders. When properly selected and fitted, use in a variety of
applications such as grinding; sanding; welding; and exposure to
lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA for concentrations up
to 10 times the OSHA PEL with half facepieces or 50 times PEL
with full facepieces when quantatively fit tested. Warning:
Respirators help protect against certain airborne contaminants.
Before use, the wearer must read and understand the User
Instructions provided as a part of the product packaging. Follow
all local regulations. In the U.S., a written respiratory
protection program must be implemented meeting all the
requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 including training, fit
testing and medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standards Z94.4
requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable
jurisdiction, as appropriate. Misuse may result in ness or
death. *3M recommended for against nuisance levels of
vapors and es. Nuisance level vapor and
refers to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or
applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is
lower.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The 3M™Advanced Particulate Filter 2297, P100, with Nuisance
Level Vapors helps provide respiratory protection
against exposure to lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA.
The filter is effective for concentrations up to 10 times the
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) with half facepieces, or 50
times PEL with quantitatively fit tested full facepieces. This
filter helps protect against a wide range of oil and non-oil
based particulate contaminants and can be used as a prefilter for
certain exposures. The filter also offers nuisance level
odor from vapors that are below the PEL. Nuisance
level refers to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or other
applicable government exposure limits, whichever is lower. Do not
use for respiratory protection against vapors in
environments that are immediately dangerous to life or
(IDLH). 3M’s Advanced Electret Media (AEM) provides a comfortable
lightweight, easy-breathing combination. Inventory needs and
training requirements of safety equipment are reduced because
this filter works for many different applications. In customer
field trials, 3M™ 2200 Series filters lasted up to twice as long
as standard filters. Initial pressure drop of 2200 Series P100
filters is 30% lower than standard P100 Series filters. Lower
pressure drop over time can extend filter life. The 2297 is
commonly used for welding, brazing, torch cutting, metal pouring
and soldering. This filter is commonly used in the following
industries: construction, foundry work, hazardous water
operations, manufacturing, metal fabricator, and mining.
The filter works with a wide range of facepieces, including 3M™
Half and Full Facepieces 6000, 7000 and FF-400 Series with
bayonet filter holders. If used with 3M™ Adapter 502, the filter
may also be used with 3M™ Respirator 5000 Series or 3M™ Cartridge
6000 Series. The filter is NIOSH (National Institute for
Occupational Safety and ) approved for environments
containing certain oil and non-oil based particles. The filter
has been assigned the color code “Magenta” in the NIOSH system.
Passing NIOSH’s P-series test criteria, the 2297 P100 filter
provides at least 99.97 percent filter efficiency. The pressure
drop of 2200 Series filters is lower than the pressure drop of
comparable competitive products both initially and during
loading.
Breathing hazardous particles can pose a risk to your .
NIOSH, a Federal government regulatory agency, has tested and
approved the 3M™Advanced Particulate Filter 2297 to help reduce
exposure to certain particles.p>
