JHCC Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I just started using a 3M 6000-series respirator with P100 2091 filters for grinding and other dusty applications, and I like it a lot. One thing I'm wondering though is where to get replacement filters. I can order them from a number of online safety companies for about six bucks a pair, but I also see a lot of eBay ads for these with pretty deep discounts. I think I can guess the answer to this, but are this reliable filters? Or would I be buying fake products that don't do anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptree Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I would go with the real 3M filters. For back ground, I have over 20 years of EHS experience in metal working factories. I find the pancake style like these to be very easy to breath through. Question, if you are not in an oil mist environment as well as dusty, you know than a N-100 is less expensive? the P or N refers to Permissible or Not as far as oil mist. The N type are often half the price of the P type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 @ptree, does 3M make N100 cartridges to fit a 6000 series mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptree Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It would appear that 3M does not make the N-100 pancake filters for this respirator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
