3M 2097
Item Details
Tab Description
The 3M 2097 particulate filter is a top-tier solution for those seeking advanced respiratory protection in environments where harmful particulates and nuisance level organic vapors are present. Whether you're in general manufacturing, welding, torch cutting, or exposed to metal pouring operations, this filter helps protect your lungs from both oil and non-oil based particles — while also offering nuisance level organic vapor relief in non-IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) environments.
Why Choose the 3M 2097 Particulate Filter?
The 3M 2097 is part of the 3M line of P100 particulate filters, known for their high efficiency and reliable performance. This filter helps protect against a wide range of contaminants including lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA. It meets NIOSH approved standards for P100 classification, filtering at least 99.97% of airborne particles.
In industrial environments where dust, fumes, and harmful vapors are common, it’s essential to reduce inhalation exposures. This filter is ideal for:
- Welding, soldering, and torch cutting
- Chemical manufacturing and general manufacturing
- Exposure to lead, asbestos, cadmium, and arsenic
- Pesticide application and mold cleanup
By using the 2097 P100 filter, you’re taking steps to stay within applicable government exposure limits and reduce the risk of exceeding OSHA PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit).
Key Features of the 3M 2097
- P100 Particulate Filter: Captures at least 99.97% of airborne oil and non-oil based particles.
- Nuisance Level Organic Vapor Relief: Helps with nuisance level odor relief from organic vapors. (Nuisance level refers to concentrations below the OSHA PEL.)
- Ozone Protection: Offers additional defense in environments with ozone exposure such as welding or high-heat industrial settings.
- Compatible with Half and Full Facepieces: Use with 3M face respirators, including half facepieces and full facepieces, for flexible protection options.
- Bayonet Filter Holders: Attaches quickly and securely to respirators using the bayonet adapter connection.
- Quantitatively Fit Tested: For workplaces where fit testing is required, this filter is compatible with programs that require quantitatively fit tested respirators.
Designed for Real-World Applications
The 3M 2097 isn’t just for high-risk environments like chemical manufacturing or exposure to lead asbestos cadmium arsenic. It’s also trusted in day-to-day industrial tasks such as sanding, cleaning, and general maintenance, where respiratory protection is essential.
From workers in metal pouring to those in pesticide application, the versatility of this filter ensures that it's ready for nearly any job site where permissible exposure limits might be a concern. Its ability to provide organic vapor relief at the nuisance level means added comfort in environments where vapors and odors may be present, but not at levels that exceed OSHA thresholds.
Stay Protected and Compliant
Employers and safety managers know that maintaining compliance with applicable government exposure limits isn’t just about regulations — it’s about keeping workers safe. The 3M 2097 helps achieve that goal while supporting inventory needs across a variety of industries. It’s a go-to filter for companies that take worker health and OSHA standards seriously.
When used with compatible half and full facepieces, the filter can be used up to 10 times the permissible exposure limit with half facepieces, or up to 50 times the PEL with full facepieces, depending on fit and seal quality. This makes it a cost-effective, long-term solution for teams that require consistent respiratory protection.
