The 3M 8233 N100 Particulate respirator may
be referred to as the 3M Lead Mask, the 3M Lead Dust
Respirator, or the 3M Lead Dust Mask. The 8233 N100
Particulate Respirator is for those who want NIOSH's
highest rated filter efficiency in a
maintenance-free mask. The N100 rating indicates
that this mask is 99.97% effective against particles
.3 microns and larger. Each mask is individually
wrapped to prevent contamination. If you are also
looking for a reliable filter for protection against
toxic dusts, lead, and asbestos, and for mold
remediation or cleanup, use the 3m
2097 filters that fit on the 3M 6000, 3M 7500
Series half masks, and the 3M 6000 full-face
respirators.
The 3M 8233 N100 is approved for lead abatement,
metal fumes produced from welding, certain
radioactive particulate material, and non-oil
containing mists. Recent recommendations from the
CDC include avian flu and swine flu, though N95
masks are also recommended and may be just as good
and a whole lot cheaper.
The Cool-Flow exhalation valve helps keep the mask
cool and dry. A soft inner face seal conforms to
your face, offering a better than average seal for a
disposable mask. Not approved for asbestos.
This mask has been a popular choice for protection
against avian flu, swine flu, tuberculosis / TB, and
SARS. The 3M 8233 Respirator compares to the now
discontinued 9970 Respirator. The 9970 mask was
rated as a HEPA filtered mask. Since then, NIOSH has
changed this designation to either N100 (no oil) or
P100 (resists oil). Another cross would be the 3M
8293 Mask, which carries the P100 rating. We don't
stock that mask, but it can be ordered by request.
