3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators
9300+Gen3 Series

Technical Data Sheet

Product description

The 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators 9300+Gen3
Series meet the requirements of European Standard
EN149:2001+A1:2009, filtering facepiece respirators for
useagainst particles. They provide effective respiratory
protection for use in industries where workers will be exposed
to solid (dust) particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles.

Applications

These respirators are suitable for use in concentrations
ofsolid (dust) particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles
upto the following limits:

Filter penetration

The filter penetration, initial and after 120mg of loading with
both 120mg of NaCl* and Paraffin Oil, shall not exceed the
following limits:

*Loading of NaCl may be stopped if filter penetration during loading is observed
to decrease.

Penetration

Total inward leakage

Ten subjects perform five test exercises whilst wearing the
respirator. The total inward leakage inside of the respirator
due to face seal leakage, filter penetration and valve leakage
is measured for each subject exercise. The subject mean total
inward leakage for 8 out of 10 subjects shall not exceed the
following limits:

Total Inward

Leakage

*Many countries apply Assigned Protection Factors (APFs) which reduce the
maximum concentrations of particles inwhich these products can be used.
Seenational regulations and EN 529:2005.

Respiratory protection is only effective if it is correctly
selected, fitted and wornthroughout the time when the
wearer is exposed to hazards.

Standards

Products are classified by filtering efficiency and maximum
total inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3),
alsoby usability and clogging resistance.

Performance tests in this standard include filter penetration;
extended exposure (loading) test; flammability; breathing
resistance and total inward leakage. Reusable products are
also subjected to cleaning, storage and mandatory clogging
resistance tests (clogging is optional for non-reusable
products). A full copy of EN 149:2001+A1:2009 can
bepurchased from your national standards body.

Breathing resistance

The breathing resistance of the respirator is tested during
inhalation and exhalation. Thebreathing resistance of the
respirators shall not exceed the following limits:

Clogging

For single shift use respirators (NR), the clogging test
isoptional. For re-usable respirators (R) this test is mandatory.
The respirators are loaded with very high amount of Dolomite
dust which will tend to clog the filter. After loading with the
required amount of dust, the breathing resistance of the
respirators shall not exceed the following limits:

Flammability

Tested respirators are mounted on a metallic head which
rotates with a linear speed of 60mm/s. The respirators are
passed within 20mm of the tip of an 800°C (±50°C) propane
burner flame. The respirator shall not burn orcontinue to burn
within 5 seconds of removal from the flame.
