The 3m 7093 filter works by trapping airborne particles, filtering out pollutants, dust, and other harmful substances from the air to ensure the user inhales only clean, safe air. This filter provides at least 99.97% filtration efficiency for particles of 0.3 microns. Here are the types of filters compatible with the 3m 7093:
Particulate Filters
The 3m 7093 anti haze filter is a P100 particulate filter, meaning that it has at least 99.97% filtration efficiency for airborne particles. It is effective against dust, mold, pollen, smoke, and other harmful particulate matter.
Gas and Vapor Filters
When used together with an appropriate 3M respirator cartridge, the 3M7093 filter can provide protection against certain organic vapors and gases. These include chemicals found in solvents, paint thinners, and asbestos.
Combination Filters
The 3m 7093 filter can be mounted on a variety of filtering respirators, including half masks and full-face masks. Depending on the type of 3M cartridge it is paired with, the combination filters offer protection against particulate, gas, and vapor hazards. This reduces the need to carry multiple pieces of equipment.
High-Efficiency Filters
The 3m 7093 filter is classified as HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) because it is capable of removing at least 99.97% of airborne particles from the air that passes through it. These include minute particles of dust, smoke, and industrial pollutants that may be too small for ordinary filters to catch.
The 3m 7093 filter is used in several industrial applications because of its versatility and high filtration efficiency:
Construction
3m 7093 filters are used to protect construction workers from hazardous airborne particles like silica dust, asbestos, and other particulate matter. Common exposures in this field include dust generated during concrete work, masonry, insulation, and demolition of old structures.
Manufacturing
In manufacturing settings, workers may be exposed to metal shaving, chemical fumes, and other airborne contaminants. The 3m filtro 7093 provides effective respiratory protection in industries like metalworking, woodworking, painting, and more.
Pharmaceutical
In pharmaceutical industries, airborne particles like powders and active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced during drug formulation and compounding processes. Workers handling these materials require respiratory protection due to potential health risks like respiratory illnesses and damage.
Agriculture
In agriculture, workers are exposed to dust from grains, pesticides, and other chemicals used in farming. The 7093 filter protects farm workers, agronomists, and others in the agricultural sector from respiratory hazards associated with this particulate matter.
Mining
3M filters are used in underground mining and drilling activities that produce silica dust and other harmful particles. In such conditions, filtering respirators are critical for minimizing the risk of miner's lung and other respiratory diseases.
Painting and Coating
The 3m 7317 filter can be used with the 3m 6000 series half mask and full face masks when painting or applying coatings, particularly in industrial settings where lead-based paints or other hazardous materials are used. Workers in this case need effective protection from both fumes and particulate matter, which the 7093 filter provides.
Hazardous Waste Cleanup
In hazardous waste cleanup operations, workers are exposed to unknown particles and chemical contaminants. Here, 3m filters are combined with other filters and cartridges to provide effective protection against potential airborne hazards during cleanup and remediation activities.
Here are some technical specifications of the 3m 7093 filters:
Filtration Efficiency
The 3m 7093 filter is highly efficient in removing airborne particles from the air with at least 99.97% efficiency for 0.3-micron particles. This places it in the HEPA filter category.
Particle Sizes Filtered
The 7093 filter can capture a broad range of particle sizes. These include fine dust, smoke, biological aerosols, and industrial pollutants. The only particle size it can't catch is 0.3 microns, which is the most difficult to catch. Other sizes like larger pollen and mold spores are easier to filter out.
Service Life
There is no fixed service life for the 7093 filter, as it depends on various factors like air quality, intensity of use, and the type of contaminants present. Replace the filters when users experience increased breathing resistance, visible damage, or premature fogging of their eyewear.
Materials
The filter media is composed of electrostatically charged fine fibers. The electrostatic charge increases particle-attraction and filtration efficiency while decreasing the airflow through the filter.
Dimensions
The 3m 7093 filter has a diameter of 4.5 inches (approximately 115 mm). It is 0.5 inches thick (around 12 mm). It weighs about 1.5 ounces (roughly 45 grams) per pair, although weight may vary slightly depending on the conditions of the environment.
Standards
The filter is classified as a P100 filter in accordance with U.S. NIOSH requirements, meaning it fulfills the most stringent criteria for particulate filters. The filter also meets the HEPA filter requirements under the EN 143 regulation.
Here are some considerations when selecting the right filter:
Air Quality
The 3m 7093 filter is ideal in environments with a high concentration of airborne particulate matter, such as dust, smoke, and industrial pollutants, due to its high filtration efficiency. When evaluating air quality, consider the types of particles present. The 7093 filter is effective at trapping hazardous particles like pollen, mold, and biological aerosols.
Exposure Duration
If users are going to be in an environment with hazardous airborne particles for extended periods, then the 7093 filter is suitable because of its high-efficiency particulate capture that significantly reduces exposure to respiratory irritants and toxins.
Work Activities
For activities such as construction or manufacturing that generate a significant number of harmful occupational aerosols, the 3m filter is recommended because of its ability to capture both large and small particles from the breathing air.
Respiratory Protection
When used with the right 3M respirators, the 7093 filter offers protection against a variety of particulate hazards. In most cases, there are respirators specifically designed to pair with the 7093 filter to ensure maximum protection.
Regulatory Compliance
3M has made the 7093 filter compliant with several occupational safety standards, such as NIOSH in the U.S. and EN-143 in Europe. These standards include required filtration efficiencies. If companies must comply with these or similar regulatory standards, they should opt for the 7093 filter.
Comfort and Fit
The 3m filtro 2093 is lightweight and compact, and this makes it comfortable, especially when used over extended periods. Comfort is important because it encourages wear during hazardous tasks. If users have a specific model of respirator, make sure the 7093 filter will fit securely.
Versatility
The 3m 7093 filter is useful in most industrial applications because of its high-efficiency particulate capture. It is used in construction, manufacturing, painting, and other hazardous waste cleanup activities. Its versatility means it can be used for several breathing-air protection needs.
A1. Yes. The 3m 7093 filter is suitable for non-industrial applications such as home renovation, outdoor activities like farming and gardening, and even wildfire smoke. People living in areas affected by wildfires can wear it together with a well-fitted mask to reduce smoke inhalation.
A2. There is no specific time or conditions under which the 3m 7093 filter should be replaced. Filter life depends on factors such as the concentration and type of particles present in the air and how long users wear the respirator. Replace the filter as soon as users notice breathing resistance, filter discoloration, or particle breakthrough.
A3. Like all other filters, the 7093 has an expiration date. Using it past its expiration date lowers its efficiency. Always check the filter package for the expiration date. Only use filters that are within the indicated expiration date on the package.
A4. The 3m 7093 filter must be paired with the proper 3M respirator cartridge to give the protection it was designed for. These respirators are labeled with the 7093/2195 component to indicate compatibility. Always read the operating instructions and user manual to ensure proper filter placement.
A5. The 3m 7093 is a disposable filter. However, some people may want to clean it to make it last longer. While cleaning a filter won't extend its life indefinitely, it can give the user a few extra days before needing a new one.
