Description
Trusted NIOSH-Approved N95 Filtration
The N95 particulate filter 5N11 from 3M is designed to help protect workers from certain non-oil-based airborne particulates. As a result, it is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and general industrial environments.
This filter uses Advanced Electret Media (AEM) to enhance particle capture while maintaining low breathing resistance. Therefore, users benefit from reliable filtration without added strain. Additionally, the lightweight design supports comfort during extended wear.
Because the filter replaces independently from gas and vapor cartridges, it helps reduce long-term operating costs. Consequently, safety managers can maintain compliance while improving budget efficiency.
Compatibility with 3M Respiratory Systems
The N95 particulate filter 5N11 works with 3M 6000 Series Gas/Vapor Cartridges when paired with the 3M Filter Adapter 603. However, installation also requires the 3M Filter Retainer 501, which secures the filter firmly in place.
Flexible Configuration for Workplace Safety
This modular configuration allows users to customize protection based on site-specific hazards. Moreover, it simplifies maintenance by allowing faster filter changeouts. Because of this flexibility, the filter integrates easily into existing respiratory protection programs.
Compatible respirators include:
-
3M 6000, 6500, and 7500 Series
-
3M FF-400 Series
-
3M 7800 Series
-
3M Scott™ AV-3000 Series
Workplace Use and Safety Compliance
This N95 particulate filter is intended for occupational use only. It is not approved for IDLH environments. Therefore, users must follow OSHA respiratory protection requirements and site safety plans.
For a complete system, pair this filter with the 3M Filter Retainer 501 from our respirator accessories collection (internal link). For regulatory guidance, consult OSHA’s respiratory protection standards (authoritative outbound link).
