  • Airline Filtration and CO Monitors

    3M airline filtration and CO monitors test and filter the air from an air tank, making it is safe to breathe. These kits display the CO level and raise an audible alarm when the readings reach an unsafe level.

  • Escape Hoods and Respirators
  • Fit Testing

    3M respirator fit test systems and parts are compatible with 3M respirators. These fit test systems are employed before respirators to check for gaps or leaks in the respirator to prevent pollutants from entering inside.

  • Full Face Respirators

    3M full face respirators are ideal for 3M particulate filters and gas / vapour cartridges in applications including chemical handling, chipping, chiseling, cleaning, grinding, machining, painting, sanding, sawing and welding. These respirators protect from airborne contaminants and ensure a wide visibility field.

  • Gas Mask Canisters

    3M gas mask canisters are compatible with 3M FR-M40 series gas masks. These gas mask canisters purify airborne pollutants to secure workers when facing CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) hazards.

  • Gas Masks

    3M CBRN gas masks, chin type gas masks and riot control gas masks are NIOSH-approved full-face respirators. They protect users in case of gas leaks & chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazards. These masks have a silicone / Hycar rubber facepiece with a butyl rubber seal to resist moisture and gas permeation while adding comfort and enhancing durability.

  • Industrial SCBA
  • PAPR

    3M PAPR (powered air-purifying respirator) systems are lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods. They feature a belt-mounted blower that forces ambient air through a filter, thereby offering fresh and breathable air to the facepiece.

  • PAPR Accessories

    3M PAPR accessories include battery charger kits, radiant heat covers, airflow deflectors, head suspensions, breathing tubes, auto-darkening filters, battery charger cradles, flow indicators, forehead seals, four-station battery charger kits and head suspensions.

  • PAPR and Supplied Air Hoods and Helmets

    3M PAPR (powered air-purifying respirator) and supplied-air (SAR) hoods and helmets cover the head and face of the user and direct clean air. Loose-fitting PAPR hoods do not require fit testing and are often worn by workers having facial hair as they do not need to seal the face. PAPR helmets have a hard shell that distributes headgear weight for user comfort.

  • Respirator Accessories

    3M respirator accessories include air duct sealing rings, air flow adjustment covers, breathing tube covers, cartridges, inhalation valves, low-pressure dual airline back-mounted adapter kits, nose cup assemblies and many more.

  • Respiratory Airline Hoses

    3M respiratory airline hoses are compatible with 3M SARs (supplied-air respirators) that provide breathable air from the air compressor to the worker. The complete system comprises an air regulating valve, a supplied-air hose, a breathing tube helmet, hood or another facepiece.
