Particulate Filter 2091, P100
Issue Date 9/1/09
The 3M™ Particulate Filter 2091,
P100 has been developed with
your respiratory needs in mind.
The 2091 provides you
and your workers:
• Comfort. 3M’s Advanced
Electret Media (AEM) provides
a lightweight, easy breathing
combination not found in
fiberglass containing filters.1
• Versatile protection. The 2091
is well suited for a wide range of
oil and non-oil based particulate
contaminants and can be used as
a prefilter for certain chemical
exposures.
• Simplicity. The versatility of this
filter reduces your inventory and
training requirements.
• Compatibility. The 2091 can be
used with 3M’s wide variety of
half and full facepiece designs.2
• Exceptional filter efficiency.
Passing NIOSH’s P-series test
criteria, the 2091 P100 filter
provides a minimum 99.97%
filter efficiency.3
• Durability. The unique flexible
filter material resists abrasion
and wetting. Filters are flame
and water resistant.
• Economy. The 2091 is priced
competitively with other filters
in its class.

3M™ Particulate Filter 2091, P100
Use For:
• Solids such as those from
processing minerals, coal,
iron ore, cotton, flour, and
certain other substances.
• Liquid or oil based particles
from sprays that do not also
emit harmful vapors.
• Metal fumes produced from
welding, brazing, cutting and
other operations involving
heating of metals.
• Radioactive particulate materials
such as uranium and plutonium.
• Asbestos.
Do Not Use For:
• Gases and vapors, including those
present in paint spray operations,
unless combined with approved
chemical cartridges.
• Sandblasting.
• Oxygen deficient atmospheres.
• Aerosol concentrations
that exceed:
– 10 times the permissible
exposure limit (PEL) with
half facepiece, or
– 10 times the PEL with full
facepiece qualitatively fit
tested, or
– 50 times the PEL with full
facepiece quantitatively
fit tested, or
– applicable government
regulations, whichever
is lower.
Important
Before using these filters, you
must determine the following:
1. The type of contaminant(s)
for which the respirator is
being selected.
2. The concentration level
of contaminant(s).
3. Whether the respirator can be
properly fitted on the wearer’s
face. Do not use with beards,
other facial hair, or other
conditions that prevent a good
seal between the face and the
faceseal of the respirator.
4. Before use of these respirators,
a written respiratory protection
program must be implemented,
meeting all the requirements
of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134,
including training, medical
evaluation and fit testing.
Time Use Limitation
If filter becomes damaged, soiled,
or breathing becomes difficult, leave
the contaminated area and dispose
of the filter. If used in environments
containing only oil aerosols, dispose
of filter after 40 hours of use or
30 days, whichever is first.
