P3 Particulate Filter to Suit Asbestos PAPR Units

This P3 particulate filter is designed to suit asbestos-rated powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) units using an asbestos-specific threaded connection. Built for demanding Australian construction, mining and manufacturing environments, it provides high-efficiency protection against hazardous airborne particulates to support safer work practices, reduced exposure risk and improved operator confidence on task.

The filter is classified as P R SL in accordance with EN 12942 requirements for powered respirators, delivering very low aerosol penetration (maximum 0.05% for both sodium chloride and paraffin oil test aerosols at 95 L/min). This makes it suitable for applications involving solid and liquid aerosols such as dust, smoke and fibres. The robust ABS housing and microfiber glass filtration media support reliable performance in industrial conditions while keeping weight low to help minimise wearer fatigue and maintain productivity over longer shifts.

Designed to integrate with compatible asbestos PAPR systems, this filter helps maintain correct system performance and breathing resistance parameters during use. It is suited to planned maintenance programs and routine replacement schedules to reduce downtime, support compliance obligations and improve total cost of ownership through predictable consumable management.

Note: Always verify site risk assessments, respirator compatibility and change-out intervals based on exposure levels and manufacturer guidance.
