Description
The 3M 7000002028 is a disposable, cup-style 3M 8233 N100 particulate respirator intended for use in heavy-duty particulate environments requiring N100-level filtration. The 3M N100 face mask filters out non-oil-based particles with ≥99.97% efficiency, thanks to electrostatically charged microfibers. The 3M Cool Flow™ exhalation valve reduces heat and humidity inside the respirator, providing comfort for long shifts. The molded cup shell, soft inner face seal, and adjustable buckle straps ensure a secure and consistent fit with the majority of protective eyewear and hearing protectors. The 8233, which is individually packaged and requires no maintenance, is suitable for common industrial applications such as foundries, grinding, mineral processing, and petrochemical operations where consistent performance and worker comfort influence productivity and compliance. This product is listed under 3M 54143 and has NIOSH approval (TC-84A-1298), making it appropriate for occupational use where N100 protection is required.
Product Features and Benefits
NIOSH-approved N100 filtration
The 3M N100 face mask has advanced electret filter media that captures particulates in non-oil environments, achieving N100 (≥99.97%) filtration efficiency.
3M Cool Flow™ exhalation valve for reduced heat
The Cool Flow valve rapidly vents warm exhalation air to lower internal temperature and moisture, improving comfort during extended wear.
Cup-style shell with soft face seal
The 3M 8233 N100 particulate respirator has a molded cup shape that keeps internal breathing space intact, and the foam face seal and adjustable nose clip provide a secure, consistent seal for a variety of face shapes.
Adjustable buckle straps for secure fit
Wide, braided straps with adjustable buckles provide a stable harness and maintain the assigned protection factor (APF = 10) during typical industrial activity.
Individually packaged and maintenance-free
The 3M 8233 N100 respirator mask's single-use design and individual packaging reduce contamination risk and simplify stock control and PPE distribution on-site.
Compatibility with PPE and common industries
The 3M 54143 works with safety eyewear and hearing protection; it is recommended for construction, general manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, and petrochemical applications.
