Description
Cut the smell of a weekend paint job down to size with the 3M Latex Paint & Odor Respirator R95, a disposable filtering facepiece that pairs an R95 particle filter with a carbon layer for odor relief. Pull it on before you roll a bedroom, brush stain on a deck rail or spread adhesive on a subfloor and the carbon layer takes the edge off the fumes while the R95 media catches certain airborne particles. Dual elastic straps hold it snug through a full afternoon, and each pack holds one respirator.
Key Features
- R95 particulate rating: NIOSH R95 media captures certain particles you kick up while sanding, cutting in and cleaning up around a paint project.
- Carbon layer for odor: A layer of activated carbon reduces nuisance odors from latex paint, varnish, stain, adhesives and solvents so the room is easier to work in.
- Built for DIY use: Intended for homeowner and do-it-yourself work in non-harmful environments; it is not a substitute for a cartridge respirator where a hazard exists.
- Dual straps, disposable: Two elastic straps seat the mask without fuss, and there are no filters to buy or clean; use it for the project and toss it.
- About 3M: 3M makes the personal safety equipment found on job sites and in workshops around the world, with this model also sold under the Tekk Protection paint respirator name.
How to Use It
Put the respirator on before you open the can. Cup it over your nose and mouth, pull the lower strap around your neck and the upper strap over the crown of your head, then press the nose area to close the fit. Wear it while you roll, brush, spray latex or apply stain, varnish or adhesive, and keep it on through cleanup when solvent odors linger. Step outside for fresh air if the smell still bothers you, and open windows to keep the room ventilated. Use it only in non-harmful environments; if a product label calls for a specific cartridge respirator, use that instead. Replace it when it gets dirty, damp or hard to breathe through.
