3M 7500 Series Half Mask Facepiece

This article is part of ‘3M Mask Respirator

3M™ 7500 Series Respirators have set a new standard in comfort. The exhalation valve provides increased durability and is easy to keep clean. Reduced breathing resistance helps to minimise heat built-up in the mask and increases your comfort. Available in three sizes, all respirators have the 3M bayonet connection system allowing connection to a broad range of twin lightweight filters to protect against gases, vapours and particulates depending on your individual needs. The mask can also be used with the 3M™ Supplied-Air System SA-2000 for increased convenience and flexibility

The main features include:

  • Durable, reusable half face respirator with full maintenance program available.
  • Soft silicone material reduces pressure/ tension on face for added comfort during long periods of work.
  • Flexible System (gas / vapour and / or particulate filters plus Supplied-Air option).
  • Exhalation valve ensures easier breathing while reducing heat and moisture build-up. It also eliminates valve vibration for easier communication.
  • Downward direction of exhalation air reduces fogging when using grinding and welding shields.
  • Twin filter design provides lower breathing resistance, a more balanced fit, and improves field of vision.
  • New adjustable head harness and yoke design provides greater stability.
  • Easy and secure fitting with drop-down feature for added convenience.
  • Head harness designed to accommodate other PPE, including grinding or welding shields and the 3M Eyewear range.
  • Safe, secure bayonet filter attachment system with cost effective replacement filters.
  • Colour coded sizes for easier identification.
  • Nominal Face piece weight: 130-140 grams.

Particulate filters only: These filters provide protection against solid and non-volatile liquid particles.

  • The 2000 Series particulate filters fit directly onto the respirator.
  • The 6035 & 6038 are encapsulated P3 filters, which fit directly onto the respirator.

Combination of Gas & Vapour and Particulate filters:

  • The 5000 Series particulate filters can be used with 6000 Series Gas and Vapour filters using 501 retainers excluding the 6035, 6038, 6096, 6098 and 6099.
  • The 6096 has Particulate filter media integrated with the Gas and Vapour cartridge.
  • The 6038 is an encapsulated particulate filter with a layer of carbon for low capacity gas protection.

Supplied-Air mode: All filters can be used with SA-2100 Supplied Air Regulator except for the 5925, 6098 and 6099 filters.
