  2. Hi, great video. I plan on using this mask for paint balling, as it looks
    pretty sweet. I already know that it can withstand a good amount of force
    on the glass, but some 2nd input on it would be nice. Also, does it come
    with any filters? If not, what are some dark colored (preferably black)
    filters that I could buy, that aren't to expensive (bright colors will show
    in the woods)?

  3. @mattbih For respirators there is no metric or measurement. Same for all
    brands. Only way to know for sure is by fit testing. Also, one brand may
    fit you better than another. This makes the potential process daunting.
    Medium is by far the most common size sold (75% +/-). Small if you are very
    petite. Large if you are a very large man, with a correspondingly large
    face. The fit of a full face respirator is forgiving vs. a half mask.
    Easier surfaces to seal against. If in doubt, medium.

  5. I want to get a full face mask. I already have the 3m 6200, but I find it a
    bit uncomfortable when used for a long time. I would like to get the 7800
    series. What makes the 7800 better than say, the 6000 series respirators? I
    see the 7800 is more expensive and what is the difference between the 6900
    and the 6800. What would be your recommendations?. Thanks

  6. @pksafetysupply Yes, I have seen the insert. One more question, though.
    Would it be a good idea to wear this thing for 10 hours plus? I would
    probably only wear it 3-4 hours straight. But I want to make sure I'll be
    safe. For instance, I don't want to suffocate myself or something or hurt
    myself by not getting enough oxygen. Thanks for all your help thus far.
    Great customer service.

  11. @aza9825 The 3M 60926 cartridge is applicable for some NBC items, and fits
    the 6000 series full face respirator. However, the bulk of the so-called
    NBC filters are only for use on masks with DIN connectors. We don't
    stock/sell those.

  12. I am looking for a half mask respirator for spray painting with non
    obtrusive filters (the small boxy looking ones.) I have a very small face.
    I will be using this for spray painting. What mask do you suggest getting?

  13. P100 rated filters are more specifically rated for 'radionuclides'. This
    the term used when referring to radioactive 'dust'. Particles that have for
    one reason or another become radioactive. The P100 (HEPA) filter is rated
    to filter these out. And keeping this sort of dust out of your lungs is a
    good thing! Of course there may be other health hazards associated with
    spending time around radioactive dust, but that is another story...

  14. also if they use negative or positive pressure in order to keep the seal
    air-tight.

  15. Are red lens available? :D If they do exist that is

    ReplyDelete
  16. @pksafetysupply Yes I do, actually. My safety glasses are prescription.
    Good to know this would work with a hard hat. I'll probably get this with
    the insert for the prescription glasses. Where can I take it to get the
    lenses put in?

  17. What kind of cartridge do you need for noxious gasses from welding/brazing?

  18. doing a project on asphalt paving, and some sources have informed me that
    the 3M™ 5000 Series Organic Vapor Respirator, P10 is what i should look
    into. Its not really the respirator itself or the cartridges im interested
    in, its more for the airtight seal. Was wondering if you guys knew what
    exactly the type of seal it was, thanks.

  19. What size mask and what filter do I need to buy for that mask?

  20. im wearing one now but not the same kind

  21. For general purpose welding we would suggest the 3M 7093 P100 rated filter.
    The 3M 2091 would also work, but may have an issue with flying sparks
    burning a hole in the filter. What you are protecting yourself from are
    'fumes'. This is the proper name for burnt metal. The particles are quite
    small in size, and really do best with a HEPA (P100) rated filter. Arc
    welding is a bit different, in that you have ozone being generated. In that
    case we say the 3M 2097, P100 with a layer of charcoal.

  22. @CanJ0n If you saw the prescription glasses insert on our site, then you
    may know that it fits/hangs inside the mask. The temples on your glasses
    would break the seal of the mask. As far as getting the prescription
    filled, any optometrist can do it with your prescription in hand. We have
    had many customers do so, though I have not done it personally.

  23. Im going to Chernobyl, which still has nuclear fallout everywhere, if i get
    this mask, what filter should i use?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I purchased a used mask, and it didn't come with the 'fog protection' inner
    mask thing. Is this absolutely necessary in any means, or is it just to
    keep it from fogging up when I breathe?
