3M 8293 P100 Particulate Respirator Mask | NIOSH-Approved | Case of 20
The 3M 8293 P100 Particulate Respirator is a NIOSH-approved disposable filtering facepiece respirator designed for industrial workers, maintenance teams, manufacturing facilities, mining operations, oil and gas crews, transportation teams, and safety programs that need P100 particulate filtration in a maintenance-free format.
This 3M P100 respirator helps reduce exposure to certain oil and non-oil based particles when properly selected and used as part of a respiratory protection program. The P100 filter class provides at least 99.97% filtration efficiency against particulates, while the cup-style design, face seal, M-noseclip, and adjustable buckle straps help support a secure fit.
The 3M Cool Flow exhalation valve helps release warm, humid exhaled air from inside the respirator, supporting comfort during longer wear. Sold by the case of 20, the 3M 8293 is a practical option for workplace respiratory protection programs that need disposable P100 respirators for dusts, mists, and certain OSHA-regulated particulate hazards.

Safety & Compliance Note
This is a tight-fitting disposable air-purifying respirator. It must be selected based on the SDS, contaminant type, exposure level, oxygen level, workplace conditions, and your written respiratory protection program. It does not provide organic vapor, acid gas, nuisance odor, chemical vapor, or oxygen supply protection. Do not use in oxygen-deficient, IDLH, unknown, or uncontrolled atmospheres. Follow OSHA 1910.134 requirements for medical evaluation, fit testing, training, use, and maintenance.

Buying Guide: 3M 8293 P100 vs. N95 Disposable Respirators
Choose the 3M 8293 when your hazard assessment requires P100 particulate filtration, oil aerosol resistance, adjustable straps, a face seal, and a valved disposable respirator.
Choose an N95 respirator when the hazard is limited to non-oil particulates and P100 protection is not required. Choose a reusable half-mask or full-face respirator when workers need replaceable filters, chemical cartridges, longer service life, or eye protection.
FAQ
What is the 3M 8293 respirator used for?
It is used for respiratory protection against certain oil and non-oil based airborne particulates when properly selected and fit tested.
Is the 3M 8293 NIOSH approved?
Yes. The ASA page lists NIOSH approval TC-84A-2561, and 3M lists the 8293 as designed to meet NIOSH certification standards.
Is the 3M 8293 better than an N95?
It provides a higher particulate filter class than N95. P100 filters at least 99.97% of particulates, while N95 filters at least 95% of non-oil particulates. The correct choice depends on the hazard.
Does the 3M 8293 protect against organic vapors?
No. 3M lists organic vapor reduction as “No.” Use the correct cartridge respirator if organic vapor protection is required.
Can this be used for welding?
Only if the exposure assessment confirms a P100 filtering facepiece is appropriate. 3M lists this respirator as not flame resistant, so do not position it primarily as a welding respirator.
How many respirators come in a case?
3M lists the 8293 as 20 respirators per case.
Is fit testing required?
Yes. When used under an OSHA-required respiratory protection program, this tight-fitting respirator requires fit testing.
