Each respirator must be properly selected based on the contaminant and concentration

levels to which the worker is exposed. Respirators shown in this catalog may be

used for exposures below 10X the PEL or applicable government occupational

exposure limits, whichever is lower.

Failure to follow the use and fitting instructions and warnings for proper use contained

on the respirator packaging and/or failure to wear the respirator during all times of

exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness or death.

For proper use, see your supervisor. For more information, call 3M OH&ESD Technical

Service at 1-800-243-4630. In Canada, call 1-800-267-4414.

Sorbents

For The Automotive Aftermarket

3M automotive sorbents can be

used in most shop situations to

help contain and absorb liquid

spills. 3M automotive sorbents

come in a variety of forms to fit

your specific needs. Whether

you need to catch a drip of

antifreeze, control a large leak

of transmission fluid or contain/

clean up a hazardous spill, 3M

has a sorbent for you. 3M

sorbents are lightweight and

versatile so it takes just a few

minutes to put them in place.

Do you know OSHA mandates

that all employees required to

wear respirators must complete

a medical evaluation to determine

if they are able to wear a

respirator? 3M can assist you in

meeting this requirement. For

only $35 per employee, 3M

sends you a respirator medical

evaluation form that meets OSHA

requirements. After employees

confidentially complete the

questionnaire, responses are

evaluated to determine each

employee’s ability to wear

a respirator.

™

Positive Pressure Respirators

For The Automotive Aftermarket

3M positive pressure or fresh

air respirators are used in a

wide variety of automotive

applications such as painting,

grinding, sanding, buffing,

undercoating, rustproofing

and welding. Many positive

pressure systems may utilize

a vortex cooling unit which

can cool air provided to

workers by up to 50 degrees.

Some positive pressure

systems can be worn by

workers with facial hair. These

respirators provide the comfort

and convenience required in the

automotive aftermarkets.

Automotive Respirators

And Safety Products

Worker safety and comfort

are two main concerns in the

development of all 3M safety

products. Whenever workers

perform duties in environments

that require the use of

respiratory, hearing, vision,

head and face protection

products, we can help you

meet, or exceed, applicable

OSHA regulations. 3M’s

Automotive Aftermarket

Division can provide the

safety products you need for

many automotive applications.
