3M is seeing an increased demand for respiratory protection products following the outbreak of a newly identified coronavirus (2019 novel Coronavirus, 2019-nCoV). In response, 3M is increasing respirator production to help meet demand, and working with distributors to help ensure they have inventory to meet end-user demand. 3M is committed to supporting the public health and governmental response to the Coronavirus while maintaining supply to existing customers.

The 3M™ Rugged Comfort Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6500 Series helps provide respiratory protection in harsh, dirty environments against airborne contaminants when used with approved 3M™ Cartridges and Filters. This facepiece is designed to help promote comfort, durability and stability with a firm, lightly textured silicone face seal, and strong body construction. While being the lightest silicone 3M™ Facepiece, it is still rugged enough to withstand long hours and extreme conditions.

When properly fitted and used with approved cartridges and filters, this respirator helps provide respiratory protection at concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).
