Moldex 2310 N99 Respirator with Exhale Valve, 10-Pack
The Moldex 2310 N99 disposable respirator provides NIOSH-approved particulate filtration for suitable non-oil exposures. Its exhale valve helps release warm air, while the Dura-Mesh shell resists collapse in heat and humidity. This Medium/Large model has standard latex straps and comes in a ten-respirator pack. Consider it for assessed welding-fume and dust exposures where its approval, fit and use limits meet workplace requirements.
Key Features
- Dura-Mesh protects filter media and supports the molded shape.
- Exhale valve reduces warm air buildup inside the facepiece.
- Molded nose bridge needs no adjustable metal noseband.
- Soft foam nose cushion and Softspun lining support comfort.
- PVC-free construction does not mean latex-free.
Applications
Consider for selected welding, soldering, brazing, grinding, sanding and metalworking tasks involving non-oil particulates. Assess all contaminants and concentrations first: welding can also generate gases that this respirator does not filter. Wear appropriate welding eye and face protection. A task name alone does not establish suitability.
Confirm that workplace procedures permit an exhale valve. Match the model and size to the wearer’s fit-tested selection before issuing respirators to the crew.
Fit and Workplace Selection
Required occupational use needs a respiratory protection program with medical evaluation, training and fit testing before use and at least annually. Perform a user seal check each time you put it on. Facial hair must not interfere with the seal. N99 filtration does not mean 99% less exposure for every wearer.
Inspect the filter and strap attachment areas before use. Store unused respirators in a clean, dry, uncontaminated area and observe the printed expiration date. Review the Moldex 2310 manufacturer catalog PDF and supplied instructions. Compare ASA’s disposable respirators for other designs.
FAQ – Moldex 2310 N99
How does N99 differ from N95?
The minimum tested filtration efficiency is 99% versus 95%. Both N classes are unsuitable for oil aerosols.
Does the 2310 have adjustable cloth straps?
No. Those belong to the 2315. The 2310 uses standard latex straps.
When should I replace it?
Leave the contaminated area and replace it if damaged, distorted, poorly fitting or difficult to breathe through. Dispose no later than thirty days after first use; earlier replacement may be necessary.
Is it a surgical respirator?
Do not assume surgical suitability. Moldex directs buyers to consult technical service before healthcare or biological-exposure use.
