Rating shown is the Amazon customer rating at the time of writing, not our own score. Specification-based assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial, from the published Honeywell listing and NIOSH 42 CFR 84 and OSHA 1910.134. We have not hands-on or laboratory-tested this product.
The Honeywell Honeywell DF300 N95 Flatfold Disposable Respirator is respiratory protection listed on Amazon by Honeywell. This page summarises the published specification and explains how it fits the NIOSH approval and OSHA program requirements that govern everything in our respiratory protection range.

Where disposable respirators fit in your PPE program
A respirator only protects when it is the right class for the contaminant, sealed to a clean-shaven face, and backed by a written program. That program covers hazard assessment, medical evaluation, fit testing, training, cartridge change schedules, and maintenance. Compare our full-face respirators, disposable respirators, and respirator filters and cartridges to match class to hazard.
What the standard requires
NIOSH approves respirators under 42 CFR 84 as complete assemblies, and OSHA 1910.134 governs how they are used at work: medical evaluation, annual fit testing, and a documented change schedule. Assigned protection factors are 10 for half-mask and 50 for full-facepiece air-purifying respirators. See N95 respirators and P100 respirators.
How to choose the right one
Identify the contaminant first: particulates need an N, R, or P filter, while gases and vapours need the matching chemical cartridge. Then choose half-mask or full-face depending on whether the eyes also need protection, and size the facepiece so a fit test passes. Compare PAPR filters, PAPR cartridges, and 3M half-mask respirators.
Care, inspection and replacement
Disassemble and wash reusable facepieces with a mild cleaner, air-dry away from sunlight, and store sealed away from contaminants. Inspect straps, valves, and the sealing surface before each use, and replace cartridges on schedule. See 3M full-face respirators and Moldex disposables.
Who this suits - and who should look elsewhere
This suits workers with a known, measured contaminant and an employer-run respiratory program behind them - hazard assessment, medical clearance, fit testing, and a cartridge change schedule. It is not suitable for unknown atmospheres, oxygen-deficient or IDLH spaces, or anyone who cannot maintain a clean-shaven seal. In those cases you need supplied air or an SCBA, and confined-space work needs atmospheric testing with surgical N95 respirators first. Compare head and eye protection when eye protection is also required.
How we assess this product
WC Safety is an independent PPE review and research site. We do not sell, ship, or stock anything, and we have not physically tested this disposable respirator. What we do is read the published Honeywell specification against the governing standard, flag what the listing does and does not state, and place the product in context next to the alternatives we cover. Where a number matters for compliance - a rating, a class, a temperature, a voltage - we take it from the manufacturer listing and expect you to confirm it on the live listing before you buy. The star rating on this page belongs to Amazon customers, not to us. Read more across our gas detectors and safety glasses coverage.

What to check before you buy
- NIOSH class and the letter
- N, R and P describe oil resistance: N is not oil resistant, R is somewhat resistant, P is oil proof. The number is the filtration efficiency percentage.
- Valved or unvalved
- An exhalation valve makes the respirator cooler to wear but vents unfiltered breath, so it is unsuitable where the wearer must not contaminate the surroundings.
- Still a tight-fitting respirator
- Filtering facepieces are tight-fitting respirators. Under a required program they need medical evaluation and fit testing just like an elastomeric mask.
- Single use
- These are designed to be discarded. Replace when damaged, soiled, contaminated or difficult to breathe through.

Frequently asked questions
What do N95, R95 and P95 mean?
The letter is oil resistance - N not resistant, R somewhat resistant, P oil proof. The number is minimum filtration efficiency, so 95 means at least 95 percent of test particles are captured.
Should I choose a valved respirator?
A valve reduces heat and moisture buildup for the wearer, but vents unfiltered exhaled air. Where the concern is protecting the surroundings or a sterile field, use an unvalved model.
Do disposable respirators need fit testing?
Yes, when used under a required respiratory protection program. Filtering facepieces are tight-fitting respirators and 1910.134 applies.
Does OSHA require fit testing?
For tight-fitting respirators used under a required respiratory protection program, 1910.134 requires a medical evaluation first, fit testing before initial use, and fit testing at least annually thereafter.
Can I wear a respirator with facial hair?
Not a tight-fitting one. Hair crossing the sealing surface prevents a seal and the respirator will not deliver its rated protection. Loose-fitting PAPRs are the usual alternative.
What is a user seal check?
A quick positive and negative pressure check performed every time the respirator is donned. It confirms the respirator is seated - it does not replace fit testing.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.
Does WC Safety sell this product?
No. WC Safety is an independent review site and an Amazon Associate. Purchases happen on Amazon, and we earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
How was the rating on this page determined?
The score shown is the live Amazon customer rating captured at the time of review. It reflects buyer feedback, not a WC Safety test result.
