3M Respirator filters
« on: 01/26/17 08:52 UTC »
I was going to buy some new filters for my respirator and saw that 3m is making a new pancake type filter with organic vapor protection in it. Its MO #2297 has any one tried them to see how they work and last over the old style cartage's. They look like they could be used for everything including lead pouring.

I saw those too. I always thought those pancake type filters were more a particle type filter VS  a vapor filter but this one does say nuisance level organic vapor filter. It would be nice to have a cheaper filter option for sure.

If you will, I have used the face masks MO 8577 for some quick burns and they were good for a time or two.

Go figure.  I just ordered more of the cartridge style.  I was just reading up on these, and they are priced about half- and are supposed to last double the hours.  Cool!

Does anyone know if the bayonet fitting on these universal like the old ones are?

My filters were delivered on Friday and I shot baits for a couple hours. I was using the "if you could smell it" standard.

1. By themselves they are not very good.
2. They are  upgraded  P100 filters that should be added to a base  vapor filter.

I attached them to an expired base vapor filter on my mask and never caught a whiff of plastic smell.

So, I plan to use them with my base vapor  filter and try to get extended life out of the base organic filter.

Note: when I'm done molding, I put my respirator is a large zip top food storage bag. It seems to extend the l8fe of the filters.

I take mine off the respirator and store them in a zip lock, too.  ...and I have noticed longer life as well. 

..and thanks for the follow up, Andy!

Thanks for the update Andy, I'll have to pick up some any thing I can to extend the life of the filter is great.
