Particulate Filter P3 Standard

Particulate Filter P3 Standard

The P3 particulate filter is a high-efficiency respiratory filter designed to protect against very fine toxic particles, including dust, smoke, aerosols, and biohazards (such as viruses and bacteria). It is used in environments where maximum protection from airborne particulate matter is required.

Specifications:

• Filtration Class: P3 (EN 143 or EN 14387 compliant)

• Efficiency: ≥ 99.95% for particles ≥ 0.3 µm

• Type:

  • Replaceable filter (for half/full-face masks) or

  • Integrated in FFP3 filtering facepiece respirators

• Material: Electrostatic or mechanical filter media (often fiberglass or melt-blown polypropylene)

• Compatibility: Used with EN 148-1 threaded or bayonet connection respirators

• Operating Conditions: Typically rated for both solid and liquid aerosols, including oil-based particles

• Shelf Life: Up to 5 years (if sealed and stored correctly)

Uses:

• Laboratories: Handling powders, pathogens, or aerosol-generating procedures

• Pharmaceuticals: Powder processing or sterile cleanroom work

• Construction & Demolition: Asbestos, silica dust, concrete dust

• Metalworking: Welding fumes, metal oxide particles

• Healthcare: Exposure to airborne viruses or TB

• Industrial Manufacturing: High-particulate environments or chemical powder handling

🔍 Features (Bullet Points):

• ✅ Extremely High Filtration Efficiency (≥99.95%) for ultra-fine particles

• ✅ Protects Against toxic dust, smoke, bacteria, viruses, radioactive particles

• ✅ Compatible with a wide range of certified respirators (half- and full-face)

• ✅ Durable and Long-lasting under proper use and storage

• ✅ Low Breathing Resistance design for extended wear comfort

• ✅ Reusable (as filter type) until clogged or damaged (non-disposable variant)

• ✅ Often Marked "P3 R" if reusable and "P3 NR" if non-reusable

• ✅ Tested to EN 143 / EN 14387 / EN 149 standards

• ✅ Compact and Lightweight for ease of use
