Odor/Particulate Filter 2097, P100, 2-Pairs of 2097 Filters

I bought these 2097 filters to use with the 3M 6500 series, and they work great. Installation is very simple—just twist them on via the bayonet connection. I mainly use these filters for spray painting, concrete work, and woodworking. Before choosing the 2097, I considered the 60926 or 60923, but the 2097 is cheaper, lighter, and flatter, so it doesn’t block my view as much. In actual use, the performance is excellent—I did 20 minutes of spray painting and couldn’t smell any paint fumes at all. The 6500 size L mask with these two filters weighs only 5 oz in total, so it’s very lightweight. I’m not sure if the 60923 would be heavier or create more breathing resistance. For DIYers like me, I strongly recommend buying a set of this kind of reputable brand NIOSH-certified respirator to protect your lung health. It lets you focus better while working, knowing that you won’t be harmed by these toxic gases and harmful dusts. Stay safe.

These filters and the 3M mask I use when working around our barn or hay lofts have made our work safer and I am confident our lungs have benefited from this excellent protection. I use them when mowing the lawn also. Breathe easily and safely. Great product.

These always work good when doing yard work. I suggest for anyone to use this product especially if they have asthma.

Great value, work just as advertised.

I love these 3M Performance P100 filters. I use them for my laser engraving work, and they fit well, feel reliable, and help reduce fine particles and odors while I’m working. They give me extra peace of mind during engraving projects, especially when combined with proper ventilation. Great quality and exactly what I needed.

I run a sharpening and restoration business, so I mainly deal with metal and abrasive dust. I also work with solvents and such, in small quantities. These filters therefore fit my needs perfectly. My respirator came with 3M's 60923 cartridges, which give full protection against most vapors and aerosols (whereas these are only "nuisance-level")...but if you don't actually need that protection, switch to these. I still don't smell anything. They breathe easier and they're much, much lighter. Weight strapped to your face is very fatiguing, so this makes a big difference in comfort if you wear a respirator for hours at a stretch as I do. And if you're working in a disposable dust mask (N95/N100) for any length of time, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a proper respirator. You'll be a lot more comfortable.

Perfect for when you welding or gouging!

Anyone that does woodwork, plasterwork, or ceramics should use these and save your lungs.

Excelentes filtros

Paquete de dos filtros para las mascaras serie 6000. Funciona muy bien. A pesar de ser grandes, no estorban mucho mientras se usan. Son fáciles de limpiar después de usarse. Es importante mencionar que este tipo de filtro es para polvo, como el que se produce al lijar madera. Si la máscara está sellada correctamente, no entra nada. Este tipo de filtro no protege contra vapores de solventes, pintura, laca, poliuretano, etc. Para esos hay que usar filtros de cartucho. También es importante que después de usarse y limpiarse estén en una bolsa sellada para almacenarse y extender lo más posible su vida útil. En la página de 3M hay un PDF con la guía de seguridad para su uso correcto, junto con el tipo de protección que ofrecen.

Es un buen producto para usos en ambientes de polvo con algunos olores ligeros molesto, lo he ocupado durante pulido de pisos de terrazo y mármol, lijado de maderas, neutraliza bien el olor de los productos de limpieza de olor ligero. Como comentario a 3M deberían de especificar con mas detalle los usos y substancias para los cuales esta diseñada la protección, ya que los manuales te remite a normas estadounidenses que no todos tenemos a la mano y/o entendemos.

Estos filtros los utilicé con una mascarilla 6502 al estar cortando y lijando madera y MDF. No obstruyen la respiración en lo más mínimo y evito las molestias de las partículas en mis vías respiratorias. Son una excelente inversión para cuidar mi salud al trabajar en mi carpintería.

Puedes pintar, soldar, lijar, y hasta defecar, sin percibir olores o partículas de polvo, muy buenos filtros.
