Intelligent design lets wearers focus on the job.
3M supports the United Nations International Day of Epidemic Preparedness.
Respiratory protection systems can offer comfortable, integrated protection against multiple hazards helping to provide respiratory, head, face, eye and hearing protection.
See 3M Center for Respiratory Protection to help you decide what you need for your program.
Versaflo TR-300 PAPR system for particulate environments has been re-engineered to bring you even greater versatility, comfort and ease of use.
Compatible with all current TR-300 components and accessories, the 3M™ Versaflo™TR-300+ is our lightest and smallest PAPR in the Versaflo family.
The Versaflo TR-800 features a PAPR blower UL-certified with an intrinsically safe (IS) rating of Division 1: IS Class I, II, III; Division 1 under the most current UL standard 60079, 6th Edition, 2013. Bright yellow touchpoints differentiate it from the non-IS versions of Versaflo blower family.
Now you can increase the utility of your 3M™ Versaflo™ M-307 or M-407 Respiratory Helmet – by adding integrated protection for head, neck and shoulders against radiant heat, sparks and splashes.
Help reduce your worker's exposure to radiant heat, sparks and splashes.
3M powered air purifying respirators offer protection against certain respiratory hazards with integrated head, eye and face protection that can help provide a more comfortable environment for the worker.
3M supplied air respirators require a source of clean Grade D breathing air such as plant air systems or bottled air. This clean, breathable air can be delivered to hoods, helmets, full facepieces, half facepieces and loose-fitting facepieces.
Different jobs call for different kinds of headtops to protect workers from hazardous environments.
How high are airborne concentrations in your environment? What’s the potential for eye injuries?
Every worker is different, and each day their tasks can change. As the owner of a 3M™ Respiratory System, you have a variety of accessories available to maximize your team's protection and comfort.
We have replacement parts to help you maintain protection. Make it a regular habit to check your equipment.
A: No, both the 3M TR-300 and Powerflow are used for helping with protection against particulates only – such as dusts, mists and fumes. Please see the TR-300 User Instructions (PDF, 1.31 MB) and/or Powerflow User Instructions (PDF, 1.25 MB) for further detail.
Other 3M PAPR systems, like the 3M™ Versaflo™ TR-600 PAPR (PDF, 1.86 MB), do have chemical cartridges available. With the exception of the TR-6590N Multi-Gas Cartridge, the TR-800 works with all filters and cartridges currently approved for use with the TR-600. NIOSH submission for TR-800 and TR-6590N is expected in mid 2018.
Step-by-step tools to help safety programs achieve their respiratory safety goals.
The 3M™ Respirator Selection Guide includes a list of chemicals for which 3M respirators can be recommended. This information can be used to supplement general industrial hygiene knowledge.
Medical evaluation of the employee is required for mandatory use of all respirators or voluntary use of reusable respirators.
3M has designed state of the art software to help make the selection of 3M™ Respirators easier and to help estimate the service life of 3M™ Gas and Vapor Cartridges.
All employers have a duty to protect their employees at work and inform them of industry and PPE regulations, legislation and standards that are put in place to help keep them safe and healthy. The following section provides you with links to occupational health and environmental safety standards.
