What you breathe matters with 3M
3M is a globally recognised leading manufacturer, renowned for its innovation, quality, and wide-ranging solutions trusted by industries worldwide. As a proud distributor of 3M products, we are excited to highlight two of 3M’s best-selling respirator platforms in Europe: the 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirator 9300+ Series and the 3M™ Maintenance Free Reusable Respirator 4000+ Series. Both product ranges are designed to offer trusted comfort and performance, backed by 3M’s renowned science and innovation.
The 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirator 9300+ Series is engineered for ease of breathing, thanks to 3M’s Advanced Electrostatic Media (AEM). This innovative media helps enable users to work comfortably for extended periods. Additionally, the 3M™ Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve helps release warm and moist exhaled breath from inside the respirator, enhancing comfort and reducing heat build-up. The respirator's 3-panel design helps to accommodate a wide range of face shapes and sizes, ensuring a secure and comfortable seal. It is collapse-resistant, making it suitable for work in hot, humid conditions while maintaining its shape and effectiveness. To help with clea r vision, the embossed top panel reduces the fogging of eyewear, a common issue faced by disposable respirator wearers. The sculpted nose panel provides a good field of view and improves compatibility with eyewear, while the curved, low-profile design conforms well to the nose and facial features.
In terms of sustainability, the 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators 9312+, 9322+, and 9332+ contain at least 25% recycled content*. The packaging also reflects 3M's commitment to sustainability, with individual product wrap containing at least 30% recycled content, the shipper case containing 76% recycled content, and the primary carton containing 100% recycled content*. These respirators are manufactured in the United Kingdom, using 100% renewable electricity*.
For those facing a broad range of respiratory hazards, the 3M™ Maintenance Free Reusable Respirator 4000+ Series has integrated filters that help reduce exposure to hazardous airborne particles, gases, and vapours. Offering trusted comfort and performance, the 4000+ Series is simple and ready-to-use straight out of the bag, making it a great choice for busy professionals. The respirator is maintenance-free, so it can be used until your change-out schedule indicates a replacement is needed or when the filters are full, and then simply discarded. Like the Aura™ 9300+ Series, the 3M™ Maintenance Free Reusable Respirator 4000+ Series is engineered for ease of breathing and features a centrally-positioned exhalation valve that helps reduce heat and moisture build-up in hot and humid conditions. The enhanced valve assembly, compared to the previous generation 4000, helps to reduce exhalation breathing resistance, providing improved breathing comfort. Additionally, the two large, bonded-carbon filters offer low breathing resistance, ensuring that users can work comfortably for extended periods.
Comfort on the face is another key benefit of the 3M™ Maintenance Free Reusable Respirator 4000+ Series. It has a soft, close-fitting non-silicone face seal made with textured material, and a light, well-balanced design. The adjustable head-cradle helps adjust to a broad range of head shapes and sizes, and the neck straps are easy to fasten. The low-profile design helps to prevent the 4000+ from hindering your peripheral vision, making it ideal for various work environments.
Both the 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirator 9300+ Series and the 3M™ Maintenance Free Reusable Respirator 4000+ Series exemplify 3M’s commitment to providing high-quality, comfortable, and effective respiratory protection solutions. Whether you need a disposable or reusable option, these respirators are designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries, assisting with the safety and comfort for all users.
