ESKO AIR8 P2/P3R TOXIC PARTICULATE FILTER FOR WELDING & FINE DUST |  KIT For Toxic Particulates, Nuisance Level* Acid Gases and Organic Vapours with Low Vapour pressure. To be used when working with toxic particulates such as mould remediation. Also for nuisance level* acid gases and spraying pesticides or herbicides with vapour pressure < 1.3 Pa @ 25°C. P3 Filters used when a higher protection factor is required. P3 Protection achieved only when worn with a 6900 Full Face Respirator* otherwise P2 achieved when worn with a 8600 Half Face Respirator.  Contents: 1 x 8600 half face respirator, 4 x 8020 P3R fine particle filters, 2 x 805 hygiene wipes, 1 x resealable polybag, 1 x plastic resealable container Available in sizes: small, medium, large High efficiency fresh-flow exhalation design reduces breathing resistance, heat and moisture Ergonomic design reduces fogging when worn with eye protection Drop-down feature for added convenience Lightweight—all day comfort Adjustable head cradle Long lasting spandex straps Secure silicone comfort High performance protection against dust and aerosol particles Meets the performance requirements of AS/NZS 1716:2012. What is a P2 Rating? P2 is a respiratory filter rating under the AS/NZS1716 standards for use in Australia and New Zealand. Protects against mechanically and thermally generated particles. Filtration rate: Filters at least 94% of airborne particles Suitable for: Relatively small particles generated by mechanical processes eg. grinding, cutting, sanding, drilling & sawing Sub-micron thermally generated particles e.g. metal & welding fumes, fertilizer and bushfire smoke, diesel exhaust & smoke and acid gases Biologically active airborne particles under specified infection control applications e.g. viruses, bacteria, COVID-19, SARS, bioaerosols & fungus Often distinguished with blue head straps What is a P3 Rating? P3 is a respiratory filter rating under the AS/NZS1716 standards for use in Australia and New Zealand. Protects against highly toxic or highly irritant particles. A P3 classification can ONLY be achieved when worn with a full facepiece. How long will cartridges and filters last on the shelf and in use? Stored unopened in the original packaging, AIR8 cartridges and filters will last 2 years. Once removed from their packaging, replace them after six months. The service life of cartridges and filters depends on a number of factors including the type and number of contaminants in the air, the breathing rate of the wearer, ventilation, humidity and respirator storage. Gas and vapour cartridges must be changed when contamination can be detected coming through cartridge by smell or taste. Particulate filters must be changed when breathing resistance increases and becomes uncomfortable.
