R95 Particulate Respirator for Nuisance Acid Gases
The 3M 8247 is a disposable particulate respirator sold in a box of 20 units. It is designed for workers in agricultural production, aluminum smelting, brewing operations, dry chemical handling, and paper processing. The integrated carbon filter provides relief against nuisance levels of acid gases. A braided comfort strap with stapled headband and adjustable noseclip aim to deliver a secure, comfortable fit for standard face sizes.
R95 Rating Limits Oil Resistance and Filter Life
The R95 classification indicates the filter is resistant to oil-based aerosols, unlike N-series filters, but this resistance degrades with exposure. Service life is limited by hygiene, damage, or breathing resistance; the filter must be replaced when damaged, soiled, or when breathing becomes difficult. The carbon layer only addresses nuisance-level acid gases below applicable exposure limits and does not supply oxygen or protect against high gas concentrations.
Two-Strap Design Requires Proper Seal Check
Installation involves placing the respirator over the nose and mouth, pulling the braided straps over the head, and molding the adjustable noseclip to the bridge of the nose. A user seal check must be performed every time the respirator is donned to ensure a tight fit. Facial hair, deep scars, or incorrect strap tension can prevent a proper seal, allowing contaminants to leak inside the mask.
