Particulate Filter 2097, P100
with Nuisance Level Organic Vapor Relief *
Issue Date 9/1/09
The 3M™ Particulate Filter
2097, P100 has been developed
with your respiratory needs
in mind. Specially designed
carbon layers help provide
relief against nuisance levels
of organic vapors.*
The 2097 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 2097
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 2097 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 2097 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.

*3M recommended for relief against nuisance levels of organic vapors. Nuisance level organic vapor refers
to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or applicable exposure limits, whichever is lower. Do not use for
respiratory protection against organic vapors.
References:
1. The 2097 filter contains no components made from fiberglass.
2. The 2097 filter can be used as a stand-alone filter with 3M™ 6000, 7000 and Ultimate FX FF-400 Series
Facepieces or as a prefilter with 3M™ 5000 Series Respirators and 6000 Series Cartridges (use with 502 adapter).
3. Tested against particles approximately 0.3 micron in size (mass median aerodynamic diameter) per 42 CFR 84.
• Welding
• Brazing
• Soldering
• Torch cutting
• Metal pouring

• 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.
• Relief from nuisance levels of
organic vapors* below the OSHA
PEL or applicable government
standards, whichever is lower.
3M recommended for ozone
protection up to 10 times the
OSHA PEL.**
Do Not Use For:
• Gases and vapors above the
OSHA PEL, including those
present in paint spraying
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.

Advanced Electret Media Odor-Removing Filter Material P-Series Filter
Advanced electrostatically
charged microfibers make
breathing easier and cooler.
Carbon layers remove many
nuisance level odors for greater
comfort and productivity.
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.
Featuring Advanced Electret
Media, appropriate for
prolonged use in both oil- and
non-oil-containing environments.
