Can this filter out smoke and modelling lacquer paint? Would this be compatible with the 3M Tekk Paint Project Respirator?

my experience with this filter and lacquer paint is not good. you will need a cartridge filter w/charcoal to be effective against any higher concentrations of paint vapors.

This filter does have a charcoal layer inside it about 1/16" thick. I cut a used one I had in half to make sure. 3M even says you can use these for painting. It is listed in the specs for this filter. I would recommend the 60926 filter if you do a lot of painting though. The 60926 just makes you feel very safe. The P2097 is fine for light use IMO.

I don't think this would be a good filter for paint fumes or smoke, I use this for work daily to protect me from drywall dust when we sand. Sometimes we are sanding and the next unit over the painters are painting and I can smell a slight hint of paint

tested these over a bowl of pure vinegar. could not smell any hint at all. better than the non vapor type of filters.

Well, I use it for sanding and carving gourds and those particles are 10x smaller than saw dust and it keeps me breathing clear. My guess would be yes. Bottom line is if you can still smell or taste what hazardous material you are working with then the mask is mot working.

I have found that the 3m ones seem to last longer and provide more filter action, even though they are rated the same. I get the 3m ones, because I deal with spray paint in my art and it's very bad if you inhale it. The difference is not big between these two, but safety is important.

Not entirely sure. It would likely work decently at filtering smoke or tear gas. You would need a full face mask obviously, but I wouldn't use it for that as real gas masks can be found cheaply enough. This is from the product description on this website, "This cartridge/filter is not for use in environments that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)."

With a properly fitted / sized mask, these filters should do the job perfectly! Using a pair adaptors with the dust filters to stack over these filters' inlets should prolong their use life by capturing most of the actual paint mist droplets before they ever get to this quality vapor/fume stopper. Most claim that with the #6001 in use, you don't smell anything...not a trace!

You can buy different filters that fit the mask. I have used the 3M 2091 in a dusty woodworking environment and have been very pleased with the results. Here is a blurb from the product sheet for the 2091 filter: "* OSHA substance specific particle exposures: - Lead -Asbestos -Cadmium -Arsenic - 4,4' Methylenedianiline (MDA)". Another filter is the 2097, which provides relief from particulates and organic vapors. Just do a Google search on 3M 2091 or 3M 2097, but it looks like you should be protected. I love my mask. Good luck.

I haven't found anything that says specifically about automotive paint, but this is what I have found. This powered air purifying respirator helps provide respiratory protection against dust, mist, fumes, radionuclides and radon daughters. Lightweight and face-mounted, it uses a high efficiency particulate filter. Ideal for lead and asbestos. Typical Applications are abatement, mold remediation, cutting and sweeping. I'm showing that P/N 520-15-00, 3M id 70-0708-8927-7 breath easy belt mounted PAPR assembly is what you need for auto painting. The typical applications for this unit are spray painting, powder painting, grinding, and liquid and chemical handling.

This particular cartridge is designed for organic solvents and works well for paint and lacquer fumes as well as those used in ABS and PVC glue although I don't what particular chemical you are dealing with I think this cartridge is the most likely to work for you looking at the 3M site. see this site: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0492.html It suggests that petroleum distillates are considered organic solvents.

I don't know but what I can tell you is I get a mild smell through the respirator when gluing models. It does cut down a huge amount

This filter works fine for all of your dust and particulates. I would certainly change them out on a regular basis (perhaps 40 hours of exposure). However, there are better choices if you are dealing with ammonia or pesticides. Most pesticides you would probably use an organic vapor acid gas cartridge and then use a prefilter for the particulates. With ammonia, I believe that you can get an ammonia cartridge for your 3M mask and once again add a prefilter for the particulates. All this said, if particulates is the main problem, I would stick with the 3M 2097.

Not really. It's designed to remove allergens. The air goes into the purifier and heats up to 400 degrees to kill spores, bacteria other living organisms. It won't filter smoke.

sorry, but I don't know if it will fit another respirator. I do know there are different cartridges/filters based on what you want to filter (particulates/dust vs. fumes/vapors. I think this cartridge is the actual filter, the small cotton pads that are also available are a pre-filter. hope it helps. You might find the right answers on the 3m website.

No, I would disagree with jlk2k4. It's not overkill. If you look at ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3084482/table/t1-ijerph-08-00613/ ) for list of cigarette smoke ingredients, some of them require an ammonia filter. However, some compounds you just can't filter out and require a "supplied air" unit (think old school submarine suit with oxygen fed through a tube). So unless you can afford a SA unit, model 60926 is probably your best bet. Note: I'm not an expert, but extensively researched this myself as I'm purchasing a mask for the same purposes.

NO! These are for particulates. If you're grinding concrete or steel, or sanding wood, these capture the DUST! It's my understanding that the pollutant soup in china has all sorts of volatiles, unknown gases, etc, that you would actually need a P95 spray paint respirator - gas mask(!) to catch all the stuff!

You're probably better off with a respirator aimed towards oil based materials, and not particulate like this one. I knew I was spraying paint when I was wearing this, and the standards this meets aren't for small particles like that.

This is only a N95 filter system. It will provide protection against 95% of the dust and particles. It's great for a dusty environment, sanding, light painting, etc. I would check to see how small the particles are for "lead fume" and see what type of respirator protection you would need before risking your health.
