You can not believe how grateful I am for this video. I work in a coal power plant, have for about 2 years. And for my first year I only used N95 dust masks and I thought I was good. Wish I found this video sooner
You should get fit testing either way (with disposables or elastomerics).
hey for how long we can use these filters and cartidges?? and p100 filter is enough for asthmatics right?
@Will Swift you go to a doctor and the test different size masks on you and spay a sent to see if you can smell it if you don’t it’s a good seal if you can it’s not.
that's my exact fear hope your ok.
@@Anushka20037 it depends on the environment your breathing in. but a way to tell it's no good anymore it's when the pink filter changes into a dirty colour or hard to breathe thro. for the cartridges it's when you can smell something like a scent since they are activated charcoal they'll not last long compare to the pink filter bc they'll react to the acidic fumes and organic vapors. hope this long answer helps!
Wear these for hours a day. My lungs are grateful.
This is such a great video, I appreciate how comprehensive it is - thank you!
Great video! Thank you :)
Thanks Amanda for the video .
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
I'm a fan of Amanda! This video rocks!
TFS very informative and excellent job. Moreover, it helped me make an informed decision.
video was great learned some stuff thanks!
How about finding out 3M dumps their chemicals in the environment causing people to get cancer anyways.
Looks like I'll be ordering those wipes.
Love the video!

What vapor cartridge do I need to protect myself from acrylate, acrylic monomer+oligomer, cyanoacrylate, urethane acrylate, urethane, epoxy, and paint vapors?
Also, can the 502 adapters be re-used?
Hi ! What Respirator mask would you guys recommend when working with Chemicals such as Cyfluthrin and Fipronil ? When used for Misting and Spraying??
I’m looking for a mask I can you both while working with wood and paint spraying. I was soooo confused by all the numbers and letters and names I put off buying a mask and just used N95s knowing it would only help with wood work but not spray painting. Thanks so much for this video. I’m heading over to purchase a mask now.
7:17 "certain" organic vapors. I'm CERTAIN that is a bit vague. I assume that one will filter out paint fumes from urethanes etc?

What for resins/ I I am think of painting my fencing with resin to keep out termites. Thank you.
Hi, this is a really good video to help choose a respirator. I was hoping that it would contain instructions on how to select the correct size and fit. I’m having a tough time finding one, other than a diagram for measurements. I seem to be on the edge of two sizes and need to make the correct choice. Thank you for all of this important information :))
I started out wearing a 3M large but medium was a much better fit for me. I wish I knew a surefire way to pick sizes but the only way I really could was to just try them out.
Also while you are wearing it, it should fit tightly yet not too tight that it causes major discomfort. You should be able to move your head up & down, side to side without leaking air. To check that it fits properly, you can do what’s called a negative and positive pressure test to confirm it’s actually sealed to your face. There’s probably a bunch of videos on it, but here’s how I do it:
I start by putting the mask on & snugging it up, then do the positive pressure test by placing a hand on the exhaust port in the front to block the airflow & exhale; the mask should be snug & no air escape around your cheeks & nose, if there are any leaks adjust the mask accordingly. Test this while looking straight forward, as well as with your head tilted up, down, and side to side.
Next you’ll do the negative pressure test by placing your hands over the holes on the cartridges and inhaling. If you’re using the pink style filters, remove them and place your hands over the valve holes instead. The mask should suck tightly to your face when you inhale. Do the same thing tilt your head in each direction while doing the test & adjust for any leaks again and you’re all done.
I don’t think the order in which you do them matters, but I do this every time I put it on to make sure it’s actually doing it’s job. Hope this helps you!!
@@JoshD4PREZ Thank you so very much for your detailed explanation! I will be following all of the steps you've outlined once I've picked one of the respirators. Very much appreciated thanks.
I work at a recycling plant in I have the p 100 filter it's a lifesaver feel like I'm breathing at the beach with it on in it be dust ever where
I’m working with concrete, concrete pigment and titanium dioxide. I don’t want to use an n95. Should I use a cartridge or a the small pink filters. And which ones would work best?
I'll just cut to the chase here and go ahead and say buy the full face one from 3m, it can accept a wide range of filters, fits well, is comfortable and doesn't fog up.
If you have glasses you'll need prescription inserts so that can be a downside cost and time wise
@Will Swift Don't cheapen out. Just get the full face one, you'll never regret having it.
Are you able to wear it with a hard hat or does it get in the way
@@crunngren1930 You could easily wear it with a hardhat.
cant wear them with welding helmets
the half face respirator would be awsome if the straps were rubber instead of cstretch like fiber that cant be easily cleaned
Nice explanation 👍, i want to clean my 6000 half respirator with water and soap, should i detached the gasket and valve from that ?
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed the video! You should not have to remove the gasket and valve.

By the way, since this time of pandemic. I've been using half piece respirator in order to protect me from coronavirus.
I purchased the 3M Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge/Filter 60926, P100 Respiratory Protection to be used with the 6502QL respirator. I will be using this for working with resin. I am confused as to the difference between this filter and the 3M 50051138541861 Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge 6006. Did I purchase the wrong one? Is one better than the other? Thank you
the P100 particulate filters, whether the pink disc or cartridge, is used by medical frontliners for covid protection...
As someone in the field, I'm sure someone cut corners and said "It'll do." Or "well... they'll THINK it'll protect them so--"
Hi there! Thank you for this very informational video. 😊 I work with epoxy resin a lot. Can you please suggest on which filter works best with epoxy resin?
You will need an organic vapor filter when working with epoxy resin and we would recommend the 3M 60921 with a half or full facepiece respirator. Thanks for watching! greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters/mmm60921
I too work with epoxy resin. My question is can u wear glasses with the full face respirator?
@@Venessahcooley that one I can answer as no, the legs from the glasses would disturb the seal.
hey for how long these filters and cartidges last? and p100 filter is enough for daily asthmatic patient use right??
@@GreggDistributorsLP are there any alterantives to that one? We have resin 3d printer and i work with expoxy resin, and we're looking for quality masks so we are picking 3M, just questioning if there are any alterantives ir are those the only resin safe ones? And will they also work for 3d printer UV sensitive resin? Any alterantives?

Thank you. When laser cutting woods and acrylics and stuff, (minaly wood), I am not sure if I need a particulate dust filter or a vapour/fume filter! Can anyone help out please? There is smell from burning wood and im not sure which one to get
Hello, it is best to consult who ever is coordinating the Health and Safety program at your work, they should know what specific respirators would be required for the job. You can also give 3M a call, and they should be able to recommend the respirator that best suits your application.
I still have no clue what kind of filter i need. I am trying to do some wood cutting and carving and some pvc cutting what kind of filter do i need? would be cool if there was an app for picking filter.
When in doubt, you can always give 3M a call and let them know exactly what you'll be using the respirator for, as they can recommend the exact item you need to keep you safe from debris.
Im interested
Wich one should i use for welding/plasma cuting .
Sorry but im not sure if u mentioned it

I am interested in the full face mask to use in my pottery studio to protect me from silica. What is the best way to measure for size? Also, what is the correct filter for this environment. I will be sanding pots and mixing glazes. Thanks!
N95 would work but if possible get P95 or P100.
Fit testing is ideal. Combo cartridge is ideal for the particulates and the glazes if there are gasses from that. My prof has more info. Towards the end of the NIOSH section has the filter guide. Towards the end of how to improve fit has makeshift fit testing info. There's also professional fit testing which is ideal.
I have seen on UA-cam that in the full face mask with shield on it, there is little gap between the visor and the frame of the mask, thereby allowing pollution chemical to come in through that space, and thus they recommended half piece instead
Hi, thank you for the video. I am an artist and I use liquitex flexible modelling paste and acrylic paints and the fumes absolutely get to my head and give me a headache. I haven’t used them since that. Which face mask would you recommended and which filter?
It's ideal for you to have a full or half face with cartridges that capture certain glasses. My prof has more info. In the elastomerics section towards the bottom of the NIOSH section. The cartridges typically have carbon that absorb. You'll need to make sure to change them often enough as they stop absorbing when full.
Great vid, thank you. Can you reuse the pink filters for the 3M 6000? Are they washable?
Thanks again!
It is not recommended by 3M to wash and reuse their filters. Because of their cloth-like material, they should be disposed of if they become wet, damaged and/or dirty. Thanks for watching!
@@GreggDistributorsLP Thanks for your response. So, can you use the filters for a day or so before disposing of them?
@@ianbauer4703 you can use them for particulate filtration until they are hard to breathe through or get soiled/damaged. Typically 4-6 months in a clean environment. Gas filtration is usually nuisance only so not ideal for proper protection. Cartridges are not ideal for that and 3M has a calculator on their site to figure out how often to change them
@@GreggDistributorsLP It's because the electrostatic charge might get ruined, but if if it's just water, it might hold up. It's still best to avoid.
Can you please do a comparison on the 6500QL vs 7500 there is also a Pro version on one of this mask! Or can you please explain the difference between tgr 6500QL and 7500 here on the comment section which one is better. Thank you
Hi, Alfonso. Check out page N19 of our catalogue to compare the differences between the 3M 7500 and 6500QL series face masks > greggdistributors.ca/search?q=N19&resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties&page_size=8&view=list&terms=CatPage:N19
What mask for using contact cement glue.
Inside.
I'm replacing a formica countertop with new formica countertop and it requires a lot of glue.
Also what mask do I need to use while removing the old glue.
I'll be using acetone or mineral spirits.
We would reccomend using a 3M cartridge or filter that's rated for Organic Vapours, like this one: greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters/mmm6001 + a half or full face respirator, like these: greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory?resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties

They should always be changed out when they become dirty or when the type of contaminant changes. Also, the N95 respirators from 3M have been a popular choice, however, we would recommend verifying this with your nearest medical professional to be safe.

What would you recommend for a teacher who’s working in a classroom with poor air quality??
Video says it all. Remember though that when using the particulate filter that the written side faces inwards towards the face. However the respirator mask doesn't allow one to speak normally where the voice is muffled. However their are full respirator face mak that have a diaphragm that vibrates the voice better than through the plastic. But like how one teaches students to be self independent, research usually is the best course of action, since a reliance or a belief on other individuals knowledge may not get one the best answer possible.
@@eusebiou-say-bee-oh326 great response. You’d be an effective teacher. Although she asked a question that was already basically answered in the video, you responded in a positive way that was helpful while reinforcing self sufficiency and independence to think critically. A lazy teacher would have just handed out the answer but someone that cultivates the skillset of independence empowers students to be confident in knowing they’ll be able to figure out the solution 💪👍
@@0for30 Thanks for your assessment Matt. It's not everyday someone showers you with flowers so I deeply appreciate it. I feel everyone is a good teacher at some things and bad at others. We just forget that we have the might of thought and wisdom and so we usually just follow rather than think. But times are changing, so we might as well change with the times or be left in the dust. There are so many folks that are lost, and so many folks that are sweet. We can't really help folks out, but we can encourage those who are lost to think for themselves, this way they too can manage life better.
Anyways, take care friend. Here's hoping that everything good will turn up for you in these turbulent times. See you 😎🖖
The best particulate filters for that case are the 6035 FFP3 filters in Europe or the 7093 P100 filters in the US.

Which filters are best for using Craft Resin and for sanding of cured pieces?
The 3m 2071 should do the trick:
greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters/mmm2071
You should use an organic vapor filter when mixing resin as it gives off fumes, and a particulate filter when sanding cured resin. Or like shown in this video, use the combined filter for both and you won't have to change at different stages of your production.

what should i use when ply cutting carbon fiber? i have a half face fitted and clean shaven with p95 filters and i can feel the fibers in my throat. and can see some in my mask when i shine a light in it.
When dealing with carbon fiber, we would suggest using the 3M P100 filters, while also ensuring that the mask itself is properly sealed to your face when cutting. For more information, please visit our site for any type of filter you require > greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters?keyword=P100&resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties&terms=Brand:3M
Need fit testing. Sounds like you have leakage. Probably need one that fits you better or you need to adjust it better. See my profile towards the end of the how to improve fit section.
I have the 6001 respirator used a Niosh organic vapor and still could smell Bondo after having it on I must be using the wrong particulate filter it is cotton what should I use my nose been running more too since using Bondo this week.
It is recommended to use an Organic Vapour 60921 Cartridge with the P100 filter, paired with a half or full face mask. For better results, ensure that there is some ventilation in the area you're working in. You can always give 3M a call if you wanted to double check.
Hi. Which respirator and filter would you recommend for sewage water treatment plant And manhole cleaning work ?
Without knowing the specific chemical exposure it's not possible to make a recommendation. Who ever is coordinating the Health and Safety program should know what specific respirators would be required for the job. Our respirator options can be seen here:
greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters?resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties
Combo cartridges are a good idea to reduce smells, but they are right, you'll need to find out what you're getting exposed to. Or you can get the multi ones that cover as much as possible and follow the 3M calculator on how often to change them.
How to determine the size you need? Small, Med, Large??
Ideally you'd want to try them on to see which one provides a snug fit on your face. You could also try measuring from the middle of your chin to the bridge of your nose, then measure from your left cheekbone to your right cheekbone to find the perfect size.
He completely glossed over the modeling community. Not all of us are painting t-shirts. It isn’t just water based acrylics and 2k clears that we use. We also spray solvent based acrylics, lacquers and enamels. In these cases a respirator is in order that has both particulate and carbon filters to remove airborne particulates and VOCs. And the reason you put your mask in a sealed container is because the carbon filters continue to remove VOCs out of the air even when not in use, and their lifespan will be shortened if constantly exposed to fresh air.

How often do you need to replace the pre filter pads?
According to 3M they recommend to
Replace both the 3M™ Particulate Filters when:
• It becomes difficult to breathe comfortably
(this will vary from individual to individual).
• The filter become dirty or physical damage occurs.
multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/447121O/filter-change-out-brochure.pdf
Can I wash the p100 filters and reuse it? I want to use the mask for electroplating stuff. Please reply soon...
It is not recommended by 3M to wash and reuse their filters. Because of their cloth-like material, they should be disposed of if they become wet, damaged and/or dirty. Thanks for watching!
I'm new to all of this and am a little confused. Can you use any of these filters with either mask type?
As long as it is the same brand of mask, the filters should work with any model, there are certainly exceptions to this, but this is usually the case.
From my understanding 3M uses what is called a bayonet style connection or insert which may be different from another brand like say a Honeywell repirator. But your best bet is to do some research on your own since this will make you more knowledgeable where if your friends and family ask you for recommendations you will be ready to help with your knowledge and understanding. Also research on doing positive and negative pressure test when wearing to see if it's seated properly by feeling and sensing if air is escaping through the seals but if you are correctly wearing it then the air cam only be allowed to enter and egress at the inlet and outlet valves - there are various YT videos by 3M and others showing respirator mask etiquette.
just started a job where i grind and sand all day. it’s plastic, fiber glass, dust etc.. what respirator would you recommend using?

I hope they many protect against covid-19
hello what kind of filter would you recommend for rustproofing. i currently use a 6800 full face mask with a 6001 and 5n11 pre filter. My fluid is non toxic and non hazardous but does create a large cloud of atomized fluid/droplets. so i need something that can handle large volume of droplets/atomized fluid. again the fluid itself is not harmful but having your lungs full of atomized fluid is the issue
We typically recommend a half or full face mask with essentially the same 6001 cartridge you're using. We carry the 3M 60921 which is the cartridge and the filter in one, for organic vapours and particulates. More info here > greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters/mmm60921
It depends on what you mean by atomized. If it's aerosols (this is what the definition is) or molecules. Aerosols are particulates, so particulate only filtration would be sufficient. Though you might want a surgical N95 or to use a hard shell filter because of all the liquid. If you want to protect yourself from the molecules then you should also use something with gas protection.
What would be the best respirator and filter for using cleaning chemicals? I use heavy duty industrial cleaning chemicals at my job but I dont want a mask over my entire face, just around my nose and mouth. Thanks!

What is the purpose of the inhalation valve on some respirators?
We are not aware of a respirator with an inhalation valve. If there was an inhalation valve, it would negate the purpose of the filtering. Most, if not all, half and full-face masks do have an exhalation valve which aids in the process of removing your exhaled air.
@@GreggDistributorsLP They usually do have inhalation valves. They open when you breathe in so that air comes in from the filters and it closes when you breathe out so that the air goes through the exhalation valve and not the filters.
Does the 6001 with a particulate filter work for spray painting?

@@GreggDistributorsLP You shouldn't be recommending gas only for spray paint since spray painting also generates particulates! They need particulate + gas filtration!!!

@@GreggDistributorsLP Because they are spraying they should also use a particulate filter for the aerosols! If only gasses (not aerosolized) when what you said would be sufficient. Spraying means aerosols + gasses.

It might be worth verifying with 3M the recommended mask for airbrushing, then making sure you have it properly sealed and tightened on your face.
@@GreggDistributorsLP I'll do that, thanks!
Wat about foam 🤔
How to wear full face masks with eye correction glasses?
The 3M 6878 Spectacle Kit would be a good choice for you if you're wearing a full facepiece with corrective lenses, allowing you to make position adjustments that are comfortable | More info here > greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/respiratory-accessories/mmm6878#/x
Mold mold mold what’s the best for mold cleaning .
There are actually a lot of respirator options for mold remediation, here are a couple of the more common ones:

Do the inhalation filters need to stay inside the 6000 series.
The filters do not stay on the inside of the 6000 series. They are mounted on the outside of the full face mask.
@@GreggDistributorsLP there are 2 tiny circle filters on the inside of the 6000 series. The instructions say to remove and lay flat fig 9. I have the p100 on the outside on. I wasn't sure if I needed to leave them in place.
@@gabsaz7035Both the inhalation port gasket (part number 6895 which is the orange coloured gasket) and the exhalation valve (part number 6889 which is the blue/gray coloured circular valve) are replaceable parts. It is up to you if you want to remove them to be cleaned/replaced. Ultimately theyse need to be in place in order for your mask to work properly. Hope that helps.
Will this protect me polin as well as smoke and gas
Derek, you can reference our catalogue to determine which mask and filter would work best for you, based on the specific type of material or gas you're working with > greggdistributors.ca/search?q=N18&page_size=8&view=list&terms=CatPage%3AN18
Are 3M masks and respirators safe? I have been using them for quite some years now and I recently found that they back in the 1980 they used asbestos in their products.
Yes, these respirators are safe.
Which type of respirator would I need for gasoline and diesel fumes? I deliver these products and the fumes become unbearable.
Your best bet would be to use a half face mask respirator and cartridge filters that are rated for Multi-Gas/Vapour | greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Half-Mask-Respirators?resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties&terms=Brand:3M + greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters?keyword=Gas&resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties&terms=Brand:3M
Hi ..
those first two filters BOTH say p100... is there a difference in the grey one?
There are actually two options for the gray P100:
The first is the 2296-P100 which has nuisance level acid gas relief
greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters/mmm2296p100
The second option is the 2297-P100 which has nuisance level organic vapour relief
greggdistributors.ca/Safety/Respiratory/Cartridges-and-Filters/mmm2297p100
@@GreggDistributorsLP oh okay. I have the pink 2097, so for vapor relief I need the grey 2297? Is there not a pink version like this? Thank you!
@@glytch5 The 2097 also provides OV relief. The big difference on the gray 2296 and 2297 is the filter media itself. The filter media is an advanced netting construction technology that increases durability for a longer lasting filter. In some cases the gray filters can last up to two times as long as the 2097 and the user is able to breath easier due to the advanced construction of the filters. A good resource to learn more about the advances of this new filter can be found here:

@@GreggDistributorsLP ah okay. Very cool. Thanks so much. My new pink filters have a terrible smell... I was not expecting that. its like minty Vaseline lol.
What would you recommend for a biological attack?
I’m here because I was told that I have to shave in order to wear these masks. Is there any masks that Someone can wear without having to shave their face completely?
Facial hair that lies along the sealing area of a respirator, such as beards, sideburns, or some mustaches, will interfere with respirators that rely on a tight facepiece seal to achieve maximum protection. Facial hair is a common reason that someone cannot be fit tested, so as long as your facial hair does not interfere with the tight seal of the respirator, you should be good to go!
A PAPR. Pricey, but ideal. You can use the exercise band method but it's still not ideal!
Life time of the filter ????
Sorry, there is no fixed answer to this question, it depends entirely on the conditions and can vary quite a bit.
I bought brand new on AMAZON, and it had a white powder on, Do you think that´s normal?
That is release agent from manufacture.
@@craighearn747 Thank you , should i just wash it off, or should i not use it?
ACOATL just wash it off like you would do after each use. Dish soap and water and then dry. Keep in a large plastic zip lock bag and some dry towels to a sod any moisture. Wash of course with the filters removed and you can see the thin rubber/silicone flats that keep the breaths out moving out of the mask. With the filters off and the mask on you put the palms of your hand over the parts where the filter threads on an this is how you would check the fit of the mask.
Craig Hearn may be correct, but we checked our stock and it does not have a white powder, so this does seem strange. Perhaps you should return it to Amazon, and purchase the product from Gregg's so you can support a 100% Canadian owned company! The product is available here:

@@GreggDistributorsLP I bought the 6200 series. It had that chemical on the red plastic that seals the filter cartridges. I spoke with a person who sells those on Tijuana, and told me it came with that powder.
What the world needs is a list of hazards and what filters and/or cartridges to use for them.
Don't suggest reading NIOSH publications because they Do Not give definitive information.
I know that because I got a NIOSH reference book years ago and I was sorely disappointed with it.
I mean something stupidly simple, like this:
Flour Particulate Filter
Gasoline Organic Vapour
