The 3M™ Particulate Filter 2096 P100 is designed to provide high-efficiency respiratory protection against certain oil and non-oil based airborne particulates while offering nuisance level acid gas relief. Utilizing Advanced Electret Media (AEM) technology, this lightweight filter helps reduce breathing resistance to improve wearer comfort during extended use in industrial environments. Its low-profile bayonet connection allows quick installation onto compatible 3M™ reusable respirators while remaining compatible with welding shields and additional PPE. NIOSH-approved with a P100 filtration rating, the 2096 filter is suitable for applications involving silica, asbestos, mould, welding fumes, and nuisance acid gas exposure commonly encountered in industrial maintenance and manufacturing operations.
