(1) N95 Particulate Filters (10-Pack)

Will these filters protect against airborne dust and particulates?

Yes — 3M 5N11 N95 Particulate Filters are N95-rated, filtering at least 95 % of airborne particles, including dust, sanding debris, and non-oil particulates when properly installed on a compatible respirator.

Which respirators are these filters compatible with?

They are designed for use with 3M half-face reusable respirators that accept filter holders (check your respirator model to confirm compatibility before use).

Can these filters be used for paint sanding and surface prep?

Yes — when paired with the correct respirator, these filters help protect against dust created during paint sanding, grinding, and surface preparation tasks.

How often should I replace these filters?

Replace them when you notice increased breathing resistance, odor, irritation, or according to your workplace safety program — whichever comes first to ensure effective protection.
