3M PARTICLE FILTER, P3 R2 2 pcs.

What it is and why choose it

The 3M Particle Filter P3 R (pack of 2 pcs.) is a reusable bayonet-type filter designed for use with 3M reusable half masks and full face masks equipped with the 3M bayonet connection system. Classified as a P3 R filter according to EN 143:2021, it provides high-efficiency protection against solid and liquid particles when correctly selected and used as part of a complete 3M respiratory protection system.

This filter is part of the 3M bayonet filter family, offering a reliable solution for users who require certified respiratory protection with defined nominal protection factors in line with European standards.

Main features

• P3 R particle protection: designed for protection against solid and liquid particles when used with compatible 3M reusable masks.
• Bayonet connection: compatible exclusively with 3M reusable masks that use the 3M bayonet-type connection (for example, 3M 6000, 6500 and 7500 half masks and 3M 6000 full face masks).
• Reusable design: replacement is based on breathing resistance, soiling, physical damage or, where applicable, according to local regulations and change programs.
• Certified performance: particle filters for 3M reusable masks (series 2000, 5000 and 6000) meet the requirements of the European standard EN 143:2021.
• Defined protection factors: the P3 classification is associated with high nominal protection factors when correctly used with compatible half or full face masks (see technical properties section).
• Part of a complete system: designed to work as part of the 3M reusable respiratory protection range, together with 3M half masks or full face masks.

Technical specifications

Applications and use cases

This P3 R particle filter is intended for professional users who need respiratory protection against solid and liquid particles when used as part of a complete 3M reusable mask system. The exact suitability for a given application depends on the type and concentration of contaminants and the applicable national guidelines.

Typical use cases include environments where users are exposed to airborne particulate contaminants and need a certified P3 level filter in combination with a compatible 3M half mask or full face mask with bayonet connection.

FAQ

1. What type of protection does a 3M P3 R particle filter provide?

It provides protection against solid and liquid particles when used correctly with a compatible 3M reusable mask, in line with the P3 classification of EN 143:2021.

2. Can I use this filter with any mask?

No. 3M bayonet filters can only be used with 3M reusable masks equipped with the 3M bayonet-type connection, such as 3M 6000, 6500 and 7500 half masks and 3M 6000 full face masks.

3. When should I replace the particle filter?

Replace 3M particle filters when breathing becomes difficult or uncomfortable, or when the filter is visibly dirty or physically damaged. National regulations or internal change schedules must also be observed where applicable.

4. What standards does this filter comply with?

3M particle filters for reusable masks in the 2000, 5000 and 6000 series comply with the European standard EN 143:2021.

5. How long is the storage life of the filter?

The general storage life is up to 5 years from the date of manufacture when stored according to the conditions specified on the packaging. Some specific models (2128, 2138 and 6038) have a storage life of up to 3 years. These values are indicative and not a guarantee.

6. Can I clean the filter with water or liquids?

No. The product must not be immersed in water or any liquid during cleaning. Only the plastic components of the filters may be cleaned with 3M Face Seal Cleaner 105.

7. Are these filters suitable for gases and vapours?

No. Particle-only filters are intended for solid and liquid particles. For gases and vapours, or combined protection, specific 3M gas, vapour or combined filters from the 6000 series must be used according to the identified risk.

8. Who should use this type of filter?

The document assumes prior experience and competent professional use. 3M recommends carrying out tests to validate performance in the expected application and offers support in product selection and training in correct fitting and use.
