4. Operating Conditions and Applications

When properly fitted, the 3M 2097 P100 Particulate Filters can be used in a variety of applications where protection against certain particulates and nuisance levels of organic vapors is required.

Aplicaciones recomendadas:

• Soldadura
• Soldadura
• Torch cutting
• Metal pouring
• Soldadura
• Exposure to lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA

These filters provide protection for concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) with half facepieces or 50 times PEL with full facepieces. For full facepieces, quantitative fit testing is required to claim an assigned protection factor above 10 in negative pressure mode. Always refer to specific provincial regulations for appropriate assigned protection factors.

The filters also offer nuisance level relief from organic vapors that are below the PEL. Nuisance level refers to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or other applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower.

Limitaciones:

Do not use these filters for respiratory protection against acid gases or in environments that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).

5. Mantenimiento y almacenamiento

Regular inspection and proper storage of your 3M 2097 filters are essential to maintain their effectiveness.

Reemplazo del filtro:

Replace filters when:

• La respiración se vuelve difícil.
• You detect the smell or taste of contaminants.
• The filter becomes damaged or soiled.
• According to your company's change-out schedule or local regulations.

Always replace both filters simultaneously to ensure balanced protection.

Almacenamiento:

Store unused filters in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment away from contaminants and extreme temperatures. After use, if the filters are not to be immediately replaced, store the respirator with attached filters in a sealed bag or container to protect them from dust and damage.

6. Solución de problemas

If you experience any issues while using the 3M 2097 P100 Particulate Filters, consider the following:

Detection of Contaminants (Smell/Taste):

If you smell, taste, or otherwise detect contaminants while wearing the respirator, or if irritation occurs, immediately leave the contaminated area. Check the fit of your respirator and the seal of the filters. If the issue persists, replace both filters. If the problem continues after filter replacement and fit check, consult your safety supervisor.

Dificultad para respirar:

If breathing becomes difficult, it may indicate that the filters are clogged with particulates. Immediately leave the contaminated area and replace both filters.

Ajuste inadecuado:

An improper fit can compromise protection. Re-adjust your respirator and perform a user seal check. If a proper seal cannot be achieved, do not enter or remain in the contaminated area.
