3-M 8511 Dust Masks

If you have ever used a dust mask you know how hot they can become. Most of that heat is from the air that you have exhaled and has no way to get out.

The uniquely designed mask provides comfortable, reliable protection from dusts, pollens and other airborne nontoxic substances. It is ideally suited for work or home settings that involve heat, humidity, or long periods of wear.

The 3-M people have come up with a patented one-way exhalation valve that lets the hot, moist air out. When you stop exhaling, the valve closes and you are again protected from the annoying airborne particles.

Soft seals conform well to face and the 3-M "M-Clip" forms around the nose for increased comfort. There are 10 masks per box. The mask is certified compliant with NIOSH 42CRF84.

For a particulate style mask that is resistant to airborne substances that are oil based you need to step up to a S8271 P95 Mask
