The 3M™ Particulate Filter 2097 P100 is designed to provide high-efficiency respiratory protection against certain oil and non-oil based airborne particulates while also offering nuisance level organic vapour relief. Utilizing Advanced Electret Media (AEM) technology, this lightweight filter helps improve breathing comfort without compromising filtration performance in demanding industrial environments. Its low-profile bayonet connection allows quick installation onto compatible 3M™ reusable respirators while maintaining compatibility with welding shields and other PPE. NIOSH-approved with a P100 filtration rating, the 2097 filter is suitable for applications involving silica, asbestos, mould, welding fumes, and nuisance organic vapours commonly encountered in industrial and maintenance operations.
