3M 8211 N95 Particulate Respirator with Cool Flow Valve and Foam Face Seal - 10/Pack

Facial hair can interfere with valve function and prevent a seal, which will cause most PPE to fail. P&SA respirators can be worn with facial hair without interfering with the seal. Check each respirator’s compatibility with facial hair before purchasing.

No, respirators are not reusable and should be disposed of after use.

Dust masks are not NIOSH approved and are intended to be worn to protect against non-toxic nuisance dusts during mowing, gardening, sweeping, and dusting.

N95 respirators protect against particles in the air to filter out hazardous bacteria or viruses. Respirators that are NIOSH approved will be clearly marked with a label notifying users that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services certifies that the respirator meets the high standards for testing and is approved for occupational use.

N95, R95, and P95 are all approvals from NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health). These types of respirators are confirmed to have at least a 95% filtration efficiency. N-rated respirators are designed to only protect against non-oil particles, while R-rated respirators can protect against both oil and non-oil particles. A P-rated respirator can also protect against oil and non-oil particles, and offers a longer service life than that of R-rated respirators.
