3M™ 6038 Filter

3M announces another advancement in worker safety…the 3M™ 6038 Filter.
This innovation combines the light weight of particulate filter products with the filtration capacity of carbon-loaded media found in heavier products. The product is tested and approved to meet the minimum requirements of the amended EN143:2000 Class P3R.

The 3M™ 6038 Filter protects against:
  • Solid and non-volatile liquid aerosol particles to EN 143:2000 P3R
  • Relief from nuisance levels of Organic Vapour and Acid Gas below OEL
  • Relief from nuisance levels of Ozone
  • Relief from Hydrogen Fluoride up to 30ppm
The 3M™ 6038 Filter is a reusable filter which provides P3 particulate protection with additional hydrogen fluoride protection as well as nuisance level relief against ozone, organic vapors and acid gases. The product utilizes 3M’s proven filter technologies to provide remarkably low breathing resistance, equivalent to P1 filters.
All of these features are encapsulated in a lightweight, low profile design with a hard shell plastic case to help deflect sparks and splashes and for use in higher temperature environments. The 3M™ 6038 air-inlet design helps reduce caking, clogging, or soiling with dirt, grime, water or dust.
  • For use with all 3M Bayonet Half and Full Face Masks.
  • Encapsulated design protecting the filtration material from dirt, sparks & splashes
  • P3 protection with the low breathing resistance of a P1
  • Ideal product for harsh environments
  • Lightweight with only 86 grams per pair

Applications

The new 3M™ 6038 Filter can be used in a variety of applications. Including grinding and welding areas where flying grit or sparks typically occur; health care, hospitals, or pharmaceutical plants where decontamination is required; construction and abatement where cleaning fluid or diesel odors are present, as well as smelting or mining areas where hydrogen fluoride (HF) develops.
In addition to its wide applicability, the 3M™ 6038 filter has remarkably low breathing resistance, is lightweight with only 86 grams, and has a small profile to help increase user’s field of view. Its unique, patented bonded web technology has more surface area than many standard particulate filters.
