3M 8516 is an N95 particulate respirator that provides nuisance level acid gas relief. This respirator filters 95% of solid and liquid aerosols that do not contain oil. The 8516 features a Cool Flow Exhalation Valve providing easy exhalation and cool, dry comfort to users. M-nose clip helps provide a custom, secure seal. Braided headband provides comfort and excellent durability.
Use for solids such as those from processing minerals, coal, iron ore, cotton, flour, and certain other substances. Nuisance level acid gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and/or chlorine. Common applications include glass etching, chemical processing, aluminum smelting, and more.
Features:
- The carbon layer reduces exposure to nuisance levels* of acid gases
- 3M™ Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve reduces heat build-up inside the respirator
- Adjustable M-nose clip adjusts easily for fewer pressure points, greater comfort, and helps in obtaining a secure seal and reduces the potential for eyewear fogging
- Braided headbands and soft inner materials
