Description:
The 3M™ 2138 Particulate Filter is a P3 R particulate filter designed to help protect against a wide range of dusts, mists and other airborne particles, including certain airborne biological particles. It also provides nuisance-level organic vapour and acid gas relief.
Featuring 3M™ Advanced Electret Media (AEM), the filter is designed to provide effective particulate filtration while maintaining low breathing resistance and comfortable airflow. Its slim, swept-back profile helps provide good balance and an improved field of vision when fitted to a compatible 3M™ reusable respirator.
The filter uses 3M’s bayonet-style connection, allowing quick installation with a simple quarter-turn twist. It is also spark resistant and suitable for use in hazardous occupational environments when used with an approved compatible facepiece.
