* This guide is only an outline. It is designed to help focus on the most appropriate respirators in the 3M range for particular applications. It should not be used as the only means
of selecting a respirator. Details regarding performance and limitations are set out on the respirator packaging and factsheets.
** A range of filters are available for these respirators. Please contact 3M for advice on appropriate selection.
▲ Use with welding headtops.

Please note: some agricultural materials e.g. grain dust are potentially explosive and may require powered respirators to be intrinsically safe (I.S.)
The 3M Airstream and 3M Breathe Easy systems have I.S. options available.
