Moldex 2601N95 HandyStrap N95 Respirator — Low Profile, Small

Moldex 2601N95 HandyStrap N95 Respirator — Small — NIOSH-Approved N95 Disposable Respirator

An air-purifying respirator filters air, it does not supply any. Under 29 CFR 1910.134 no air-purifying respirator may be worn in an atmosphere that is IDLH or oxygen-deficient (below 19.5% oxygen). Those conditions require a supplied-air respirator or an SCBA, and no filter or cartridge rating changes that.

Moldex 2601N95 HandyStrap N95 Respirator — Small is Moldex's small-size HandyStrap N95 — featuring integrated elastic headstraps molded directly into the low-profile cup body, eliminating loose strap attachments that can shift under PPE — designed for workers with smaller face dimensions who need a secure N95 seal in dusty, powdery, or general particulate environments.

Hazard Coverage — Moldex 2601N95 HandyStrap N95 Respirator — Small

The Moldex 2601N95 HandyStrap N95 Respirator — Small is NIOSH-approved under 42 CFR 84 Subpart K for non-oil-based particulates at ≥95% efficiency. Approved hazards include construction and masonry dust, pollen, mold spores, smoke particulates, grain and wood dust, and certain biological aerosols. The 2601N95 is NOT rated for oil-based particles — spray paint mist, cutting fluid aerosols, and lubricant mist degrade N-class electret media faster than rated. For oil environments choose an R95 (oil-resistant, one shift) or P100 (oil-proof). Compare classes in our N95 vs P100 guide and the complete disposable respirator guide.
