3M 2097 P100 Particulate Filter, Pink

P100 means the filter is at least 99.97% efficient at capturing airborne particles. This filter protects against both oil and non-oil-based particles, but it does not eliminate all gases; nuisance organic vapors are addressed by relief features but should be considered alongside a dedicated organic vapor cartridge when needed.

It is compatible with 3M Half and Full FacePiece respirators that use bayonet filter holders.

Ensure your respirator is the bayonet type, align the filter with the holder, push it in firmly, and rotate a quarter turn to lock it in place. Confirm the filter is securely seated before use.

Replace the filter when you notice increased breathing resistance, visible damage, or after exposure to heavy contamination. Follow your employer’s safety guidelines and general replacement practices for respirator filters.

Typical uses include welding, brazing, torch cutting, metal pouring, soldering, and work involving exposure to hazardous particulates such as lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA.

On Fepy you can also find similar P100 filters from 3M such as the 2091 P100 Particulate Filter and the 2297 P100 Particulate Filter. The 2091 is a plain particulate P100 filter, while the 2297 variant also provides relief for nuisance organic vapors.

The filter provides nuisance level organic vapor relief and OSHA-compliant ozone protection when used with compatible respirators, but it is not a substitute for dedicated organic vapor cartridges in high-concentration vapor environments.

The filter is designed to work with 3M Half and Full FacePiece respirators and offers P100 particulate filtration with nuisance organic vapor relief and ozone protection per OSHA guidelines. Always ensure proper fit testing and training, and follow all local safety regulations in your workplace.

Yes. The P100 rating plus nuisance vapor relief and ozone protection on a bayonet-compatible filter provides multi-step protection for common welding-related tasks, often making it a cost-effective choice when used with compatible respirators and replacement schedules.

The pink color identifies the 3M 2097 P100 variant. Color coding helps distinguish several P100 filter options, but always check the product name to confirm model and features.
