The 3M Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6000 Series, model 6200 (Medium), is designed to provide protection against particulates and a wide variety of gases and vapors when used with approved cartridges and filters. This respirator, when properly fitted and used with approved 3M cartridges and filters, can help provide protection at concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).

The swept-back design of the cartridges helps improve balance and visibility. The facepiece is remarkably comfortable, soft, and lightweight, featuring easy-to-adjust head straps for a customized fit. Replaceable cartridges help reduce waste and costs over time.
