FAQ – 3M 2097 P100 Replacement Particulate Filter
1. What does the 3M 2097 P100 filter protect against?
The 3M 2097 filter provides 99.97% filtration efficiency against both oil-based and non-oil-based particulates. It also offers relief from nuisance-level organic vapors, making it ideal for welding, torch cutting, metal pouring, and other industrial applications.
2. Is the 3M 2097 filter NIOSH approved?
Yes. The 3M 2097 is NIOSH-approved as a P100 particulate filter, ensuring it meets the highest standards for respiratory protection and performance reliability.
3. What respirator models are compatible with the 3M 2097 filters?
These filters are designed to fit 3M 6000 and 7000 Series half and full facepieces equipped with bayonet-style filter holders. They attach easily and securely for consistent performance.
4. How effective is the 3M 2097 filter in industrial environments?
The 2097 filters are suitable for environments where workers are exposed to fine dust, fumes, and mists, including lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA. They are also commonly used in welding, brazing, soldering, and foundry operations.
5. Does the 3M 2097 filter protect against gases or vapors?
The filter provides nuisance-level organic vapor relief, which means it can reduce odors from certain organic compounds but is not a substitute for gas or vapor cartridges designed for high concentrations.
6. How many filters come in one pack?
Each pack includes two 3M 2097 filters, providing a pair suitable for one respirator setup.
7. What is the difference between P100 and other particulate filters?
P100 filters like the 3M 2097 offer the highest level of filtration efficiency (99.97%) and are resistant to both oil and non-oil particulates, unlike N95 filters, which only filter non-oil particles.
8. Can these filters be used for welding or soldering?
Yes. The 3M 2097 P100 filters are specifically designed for welding and soldering environments, providing protection against metal fumes and fine particulates while offering organic vapor relief for comfort.
