What does P3 filtration mean?
P3 is the highest level of particulate filtration under the AS/NZS 1716:2012 standard, indicating that the filter removes at least 99.95% of airborne particles. This level of protection is required for hazardous dusts like asbestos (when used with a full-face respirator) and silica dust.

What is 'nuisance organic vapour' protection?
Nuisance organic vapour protection means the filter has a limited capability to adsorb organic vapours, providing relief from concentrations below the relevant Workplace Exposure Standard (WES). It is not designed for protection against high concentrations of organic vapours or gases.

Which PAPR systems is this filter compatible with?
The 3M™ Versaflo™ Filter PAPR-P3 with Nuisance Organic Vapour (TR-3802E) is specifically designed for use with the 3M™ Versaflo™ TR-300+ Series Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems.

How often should this filter be replaced?
The service life of the filter varies depending on usage time, selected airflow rate, and exposure level to airborne particulates. The 3M™ Versaflo™ TR-300+ PAPR unit features audible and visual alarms to indicate when the filter needs replacing. Filters also have a 5-year expiry from the date of manufacture.

Can this filter protect against high concentrations of organic vapours or gases?
No, this filter provides 'nuisance-level' organic vapour relief, meaning it's effective against low concentrations below the Workplace Exposure Standard. For exposures above these limits or against specific toxic gases, a different type of filter or PAPR system (such as the Versaflo™ TR-600 with appropriate cartridges) should be considered.
