The 3M™ Rugged Comfort 6500 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator is designed to help

promote comfort, durability, and stability with a firm, lightly textured silicone faceseal and strong body

construction.

The 3M™ Rugged Comfort 6500 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 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 faceseal and strong body construction. When properly

fitted and used with approved 3M™ cartridges and filters, this respirator helps provide respiratory

protection at concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). While being the

lightest silicone 3M facepiece, it is still rugged enough to withstand long hours and extreme

conditions. The resilient silicone faceseal offers an extended facepiece life, even keeping its shape in

high-heat environments.

The facepiece offers numerous other comfort features. Two innovative design features have been

built in: a special valve cover that helps to direct exhaled breath and moisture downward and 3M’s

proprietary Cool Flow(TM) Valve that helps to make breathing easier by reducing heat and moisture.

Made to fit securely and comfortably on the head, the facepiece comes with an adjustable head

harness assembly featuring long-lasting polyester/spandex straps that stretch and conform to the

individual who wears the respirator. This facepiece is compatible with all 3M™ bayonet-style filters

and cartridges, including 6000 Series Cartridges and 3M™ 2000, 2200, 7000 or 5000 Series Filters,

to help provide respiratory protection against a variety of gases, vapors, and particulate hazards

according to NIOSH approvals. This filter compatibility helps to make the respirator highly versatile for

many workplace environments and a variety of jobs where respiratory protection is required.
