Thread: 3m 7500 respirator filter for asbestos?

A bit more digging and I found 3M 2091 P100 filter for asbestos..

http://store.pksafety.net/parfil.html

Still curious whether the 6006's ould of been enough but not going to take the risk..

I don't know about the 3M product but the sundstrom product you stack up the filters...geberaly you rin a particulate filter in the front of the stack, because the gass filters will clog rapily with particulate matter..the particulate filters are generaly much cheaper than the gas cartridges .

You will also fing more breathing effort is required when you hac=ve a gass filter mounted.

So it it is only dust you are worried about, a gass cartridge is not nesessary... just get the appropriate particulate filter.

cheers

DON'T TOUCH FRIABLE ASBESTOS.

Asbestos removal for fibro or bonded asbestos.
I always used packs of disposable P2 filters.
Bagged and thrown away every time they were taken off and a new one used on resumption of work. If you use the cartridge type you are faced with decontaminating measures after each use.
By all means use the mask you are talking about, but don't don't expect to use it for other stuff after, dispose of it.
Look at the Asbestos section on my site and if you have a fair bit to do then contact me there and I can let you have a 90 page PDF ebook that I wrote on the subject of asbestos removal but I never got around to making it public.
Cheers
