3MTM AuraTM Particulate Respirators 9300+Gen3 Series Technical data sheet Product description The 3MTM AuraTM Particulate Respirators 9300+Gen3 Series meet the requirements of European Standard EN 149:2001 + A1:2009, filtering facepiece respirators for use against particles. They provide effective respiratory protection for use in industries where workers will be exposed to solid (dust) particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles. Applications These respirators are suitable for use in concentrations of solid (dust) particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles up to the following limits: Product Product EN 149:2001+A1:2009 classification Maximum workplace exposure limit (WEL) 9310+Gen3 9312+Gen3 FFP1 NR D 4 9320+Gen3 9322+Gen3 FFP2 NR D 12 9330+Gen3 9332+Gen3 FFP3 NR D 50 *Many countries apply Assigned Protection Factors (APFs) which reduce the maximum concentrations of particles in which these products can be used. See national regulations and EN 529:2005. Respiratory protection is only effective if it is correctly selected, fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed to hazards. Filter penetration The filter penetration, initial and after 120mg of loading with both 120mg of NaCl* and Paraffin Oil, shall not exceed the following limits: EN 149:2001+A1:2009 classification FFP1 NR D FFP2 NR D FFP3 NR D Maximum filter penetration 20% 6% 1% *Loading of NaCl may be stopped if filter penetration during loading is observed to decrease. Total inward leakage Ten subjects perform five test exercises whilst wearing the respirator. The total inward leakage inside of the respirator due to face seal leakage, filter penetration and valve leakage is measured for each subject exercise. The subject mean total inward leakage for 8 out of 10 subjects shall not exceed the following limits: EN 149:2001+A1:2009 classification FFP1 FFP2 Maximum total inward leakage 22% 8% FFP3 2% Standards Products are classified by filtering efficiency and maximum total inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3), also by usability and clogging resistance. Performance tests in this standard include filter penetration; extended exposure (loading) test; flammability; breathing resistance and total inward leakage. Reusable products are also subjected to cleaning, storage and mandatory clogging resistance tests (clogging is optional for nonreusable products). A full copy of EN 149:2001+A1:2009 can 1 be purchased from your national standards body. 3MTM Personal Safety Division | 3MTM AuraTM Particulate Respirators 9300+Gen3 Series Breathing resistance The breathing resistance of the respirator is tested during inhalation and exhalation. The breathing resistance of the respirators shall not exceed the following limits: EN 149:2001 +A1:2009 classification Maximum breathing resistance Inhalation Inhalation Exhalation at 30l/min at 95l/min at 160l/min FFP1 0.6 mbar 2.1 mbar 3.0 mbar FFP2 0.7 mbar 2.4 mbar 3.0 mbar FFP3 1.0 mbar 3.0 mbar 3.0 mbar Clogging For single shift use respirators (NR), the clogging test is optional. For re-usable respirators (R) this test is mandatory. The respirators are loaded with very high amount of Dolomite dust which will tend to clog the filter. After loading with the required amount of dust, the breathing resistance of the respirators shall not exceed the following limits: EN 149:2001 Maximum breathing resistance +A1:2009 Inhalation classification at 95l/min Exhalation at 160l/min FFP1 4.0 mbar (valved respirator) 3.0 mbar (unvalved respirator) 3.0 mbar (valved respirator) FFP2 5.0 mbar (valved respirator) 4.0 mbar (unvalved respirator) 3.0 mbar (valved respirator) FFP3 7.0 mbar (valved respirator) 5.0 mbar (unvalved respirator) 3.0 mbar (valved respirator) Flammability Tested respirators are mounted on a metallic head which rotates with a linear speed of 60mm/s. The respirators are passed within 20mm of the tip of an 800�C (�50�C) propane burner flame. The respirator shall not burn or continue to burn within 5 seconds of removal from the flame.

End of shelf life is marked on the product packaging and upon the product. Before initial use, always check that the product is within the stated shelf life (use by date). Product should be stored in clean, dry conditions within the temperature range: � 20�C to + 25�C with a maximum relative humidity of <80%. When storing or transporting the respirator, remove bend in noseclip, align top and bottom panels together before pushing the top panel flat. Store respirator in original packaging provided. Warnings and use limitations Always be sure that the complete product is: Suitable for the application; Fitted correctly; Worn during all periods of exposure; Replaced when necessary. Proper selection, training, use and appropriate maintenance are essential in order for the product to help protect the wearer from certain airborne contaminants. Failure to follow all instructions on the use of these respiratory protection products and/or failure to properly wear the complete product during all periods of exposure may adversely affect the wearer's health, lead to severe or life threatening illness or permanent disability. For suitability and proper use follow local regulations, refer to all information supplied or contact a safety professional/3M representative. Before use, the wearer must be trained in use of the complete product in accordance with applicable Health and Safety standards/guidance. These products do not contain components made from natural rubber latex. These products do not protect against gases/vapours. Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen. (3M definition. Individual countries may apply their own limits on oxygen deficiency. Seek advice if in doubt). Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric contaminants/concentrations which are unknown or immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). Do not use with beards or other facial hair that may inhibit contact between the face and the product thus preventing a good seal. Leave the contaminated area immediately if: Breathing becomes difficult. Dizziness or other distress occurs. Discard and replace the respirator if it becomes damaged, breathing resistance becomes excessive or at the end of the shift. Do not clean, alter, modify or repair this device. In case of intended use in explosive atmospheres, contact 3M. Before initial use, always check that the product is within the stated shelf life (use by date). Fitting instructions See Figure 1. Before fitting device, ensure hands are clean. All respirator components should be inspected for damage prior to each use. 1. With reverse side up and using tabs, separate top and bottom panels. 2. Pull chin and nose panel tabs until the noseclip bends so that the respirator forms a cup shape. Ensure both panels are fully unfolded. 3. Whilst still holding the tabs, hold the respirator with open side towards face and bring respirator to face. 4a. VALVED respirator � With one hand, hold the sides of the valve to hold respirator position on face. 4b. UNVALVED respirator � Cup respirator in one hand with open side towards face. 5. With other hand, take each strap in turn and pull each strap over your head. 6. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head and the lower strap below the ears. Straps must not be twisted. Adjust top and bottom panels, using tabs, for a comfortable fit. Ensure that panels are not folded and that tabs are folded flat. 7. Using both hands, mould noseclip to the shape of the nose to ensure a close fit and good seal. Pinching the noseclip using only one hand may result in less effective respirator performance. 8. The seal of the respirator on the face should be fitchecked before entering the workplace. Figure 1 3 3MTM Personal Safety Division | 3MTM AuraTM Particulate Respirators 9300+Gen3 Series Fit check 1. Cover the front of the respirator with both hands being careful not to disturb the fit of the respirator. 2a. UNVALVED respirator � EXHALE sharply. 2b. VALVED respirator � INHALE sharply. 3. If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the noseclip to eliminate leakage. Repeat the above fit check. 4. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back along the sides of the head to eliminate leakage. Repeat the above fit check. If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit DO NOT enter the hazardous area. See your supervisor. Users should be fit tested in accordance with national requirements. For information regarding fit testing procedures, please contact 3M. Disposal Contaminated products should be disposed as hazardous waste in accordance with national regulations.
