Q: Does this mask protect against shoe glue? My nephew works at a shoe factory and is exposed to glue all the time.

Yep if it works for epoxy it’ll word for glue. So long as you have the proper filters. Ugly pink ones work well.

Q: Has anyone used these masks outside when there is smoke in the air? is it easy to put on? is it comfortable to wear on the face? ty

I have one that I use when airbrushing my craft articles but have never had it on fir smoke. I can tell you that I had to get a small size which I had tried with another manufacturer. This mask is extremely comfortable, fits well and easy to remove. The straps for the neck area sometimes can be difficult to connect for me with arthritis in my hands. Overall I am extremely happy with this mask.

Question 1

Which filters/valves does this come with? What filters/valves would I need to purchase to make this a usable product?

Accepted Answer

Please take a moment to understand this product if you are just hunting for protection against CoronaVirus/CoVid-19

It was originally meant for Industrial use, like working with paints, vapors and dangerous gases etc.  Thus, this comes without any filters, allowing the user to buy/swap the filters as needed. Eg: If I am working in a Hydrogen Fluoride environment, I could snap on a H-Fl gas cartridge, whereas if I an working in a ammonia or chlorine gases I could use the correct gas filter for those.

This is not designed solely for CoVid-19, however with correct filters it can work better than N-95 masks.

This is because certain cartridges are only for gas (which are of zero use against CoVid-19), however there are other cartridges that offer a combo of gas_particulate filter. These combo cartridge are good against CoVid-19 as they offer P-100 protection which is close to 99.97% (whereas N-95 is only 95% protection). A good example is the pink colored "3M 60926 Multi Gas, Vapor Cartridge, Filter, P100 (2 Pack)" as it comes with a P100 filter.

Also usable are those circular P100 or P95 filters like "3Μ Advanced Particulate 2291 Filter, P100".

A third option is the trapezium shaped replacement filters like "3M 5p71 P95 Particulate Filter" or similar. Do note that these are just cotton pads and need a case/adapter to fit to the respirator.

In any option, if. you are a newbie, buy only 3M brand cartridges or filters as other brands may not fit.

Question 2
