Respiratory Protection<br />
Powered and Supplied Air Systems<br />
Benefits of the 3M <br />
Modular Approach<br />
3M have developed a<br />
comprehensive approach to<br />
worker protection systems<br />
based on comfortable-to-wear<br />
modules.<br />
Each system incorporates easyto-select<br />
modules that can be<br />
combined into dozens of system<br />
configurations. Users can mix<br />
and match modules as they<br />
move from one environment to<br />
another, or from one application<br />
to the next. This provides plugand-play<br />
adaptability for the<br />
continually evolving demands of<br />
your workplace.<br />
Powered or Supplied Air System?<br />

Can be used to protect against substances with poor warning properties (taste/smell)<br />
Must not be used in conditions that are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH)<br />
Suitable for use over long shifts - no increase in breathing resistance<br />
