Product Overview

The 3M Particulate Filter P95 (model 5P71P3-C) is engineered to deliver high-efficiency filtration for a wide range of airborne contaminants. Constructed from durable polypropylene (PP) material, each filter provides a minimum of 95% removal efficiency for solid particles, liquid aerosols, and oil‑based particulates, meeting stringent NIOSH standards for occupational safety. The filter is lightweight at 0.64 ounces and compactly sized at 3.5 x 2 x 4.25 inches, making it easy to carry and install. Packaged in a six‑filter set, the product is designed for reuse, allowing users to replace cartridges while maintaining consistent performance over the filter’s service life. Compatibility is guaranteed with 3M 5000 series and 6000 series respirators when used with the 3M 501 Reusable Retainer, ensuring a secure seal and reliable protection in demanding work environments.

Usage

This filter is intended for workplace and occupational use where exposure to fine particulates, spray paints, adhesives, and pesticide aerosols is a concern. It excels in environments such as automotive paint shops, construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and agricultural settings where oil‑based aerosols are present. The oil‑proof design allows the filter to maintain its filtration efficiency even when oil aerosols are encountered, provided users adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended service time. Users should attach the filter to a compatible 3M respirator, ensure a proper seal, and replace the filter according to the usage guidelines to sustain optimal protection. The reusable nature of the filter reduces waste and operational costs, making it a sustainable choice for businesses focused on safety and environmental responsibility.
