3M™ Reusable Full Face Respirator – Model 6800 (Medium)|قناع 3M™ كامل الوجه القابل لإعادة الاستخدام – موديل 6800 (Medium)

The 3M™ Full Face Respirator 6800 is the highest level of reusable respiratory protection in 3M's 6000 Series — combining certified respiratory protection with certified eye and face protection in a single, unified facepiece. With a large polycarbonate lens, soft silicone face seal, Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve, and four-point harness, the 6800 delivers superior coverage for professionals working in high-hazard chemical, petrochemical, and industrial environments. Filters and cartridges are sold separately.

Why Full Face? — The 6800 Advantage Over Half-Face

• Complete face and eye protection — eliminates the need for separate safety glasses or goggles in chemical splash environments
• P3-level particle protection — up to 100× the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for particulates, versus 10× for half-face respirators
• No facial skin exposure — ideal for highly toxic atmospheres, chemical splashes, acid gases, and environments where skin contact is a hazard
• Better seal integrity — full perimeter silicone seal around the entire face provides a more secure fit in high-risk environments

Key Features

• Large polycarbonate panoramic lens — wide field of vision with scratch-resistant coating; meets ANSI Z87.1-2010 high-impact eye and face protection standard
• Soft silicone face seal — lightweight, durable, conforms to facial contours for a secure airtight fit with minimal pressure points
• 3M™ Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve — centre adapter directs exhaled breath and moisture downward, reducing heat and humidity build-up inside the facepiece
• Four-point head harness — balanced, adjustable strap system distributes weight evenly across the head for stable, comfortable fit during extended wear
• 3M™ Bayonet Connection System — quarter-turn lock accepts 3M 6000 Series cartridges and 2000/5000/7000 Series filters
• Supports APR (air-purifying), SA (supplied air), and PAPR (powered air-purifying) modes
• Fully disassemblable — no tools required; replacement parts available
• Easy to clean between uses

• Oil and gas facilities — high-concentration hydrocarbon and H₂S exposure
• Hazardous material (HAZMAT) response and confined space entry
• Spray painting and automotive refinishing — face and eye protection combined
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing — highly toxic particulate and vapour control
• Asbestos and lead abatement
• Mould remediation
• Any environment requiring simultaneous respiratory AND eye protection

⚠️ Important: Facepiece only — filters and cartridges must be purchased separately based on the specific hazards present.
