Breathability is the #1 consideration when choosing a disposable respirator.*

At 3M, we're developing highly effective, comfortable to wear respirators constructed with unique filter media technology, Workers value this 3M advantage. In a recent blind study, workers rated 3M respirators easier to breathe through when compared to others.**

Breathing Easier

Highly charged microfibers enhance the capture of airborne particles while allowing you to breathe easier." 3M Disposable Respirators are engineered with proprietary Advanced Electrostatic Media (AEM). Our unique manufacturing process injects a high level of electrostatic charge into microfibers arranged in an open formation that allows for the greater passage of air through the media. These highly-charged microfibers greatly enhance the capture of airborne particles and enable 3M to design respirators with reduced breathing resistance.
