Moldex N95 Respirators

Moldex N95 Disposable Respirators — Made in USA

Moldex N95 respirators are NIOSH-approved filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) rated to filter at least 95% of airborne particulates including dust, pollen, smoke, and non-oil-based aerosols. Moldex manufactures all of its N95 respirators in the United States, a distinction that matters to buyers in regulated industries and government procurement programs requiring domestic sourcing compliance.

Moldex produces N95 filtering facepieces across a wide product family, with model numbers corresponding to specific design features, sizes, and comfort options. The 2200 series uses Moldex's patented SpiroTek respirator core — a rigid internal structure that prevents the mask from collapsing against the face and creates a breathing chamber that reduces CO2 buildup and keeps the mask surface away from the lips. This collapsed-dome design is a signature Moldex feature across multiple product lines.

Moldex N95 Series Overview

The 2200 series is available in standard and small sizes with and without exhalation valves. The exhalation valve variant (suffix V) reduces heat and humidity inside the mask during extended wear, improving comfort in warm environments and during physically demanding tasks. The 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, and 2800 series extend the Moldex N95 family with variations in contour, face seal geometry, and use-case optimization — from general particulate protection to applications requiring a very close fit for workers with facial hair or atypical face shapes.

OSHA and NIOSH Compliance

All Moldex N95 respirators carry NIOSH approval under 42 CFR Part 84 and are appropriate for use under OSHA's respiratory protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134) when selected based on a workplace hazard assessment confirming N95-level protection is adequate for the contaminants present. NIOSH approval numbers and lot-specific traceability information are printed on each Moldex respirator for verification and recordkeeping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does N95 mean on Moldex respirators like the 2200 and 2300?

N means the filter is not resistant to oil-based aerosols, and 95 is the minimum filtration efficiency: it captures at least 95 percent of airborne non-oil particulates such as dust, mist, and many fine particles. N95 is the entry tier of NIOSH particulate filters. For oil mists you would need an R or P rated model instead.

What is the Moldex AirWave (4200, 4600) and how does it differ from cup models?

The AirWave uses a 3D wave-shaped filter media designed to increase filter surface area for easier breathing, with the 4600 adding the adjustable SmartStrap. Both are N95. The benefit is comfort and lower breathing resistance over a shift, not higher filtration, since all these models share the same 95 percent N95 efficiency rating.

Which Moldex N95 fits a smaller face?

The 2201 flat-fold and the 2601 HandyStrap come in Small for narrower facial profiles. Achieving a proper seal is essential because an N95 only performs when it seals to bare skin. OSHA 1910.134 requires fit testing for tight-fitting respirators, and the seal fails over beards or stubble at the sealing surface, regardless of model.

Are these Moldex N95 respirators reusable?

They are single-use filtering facepieces, not reusable elastomeric masks. Replace one when it is damaged, soiled, hard to breathe through, or no longer seals. The HandyStrap models support hanging the respirator during breaks for the same shift, but that is not the same as cleaning and reusing it across days. Discard after contaminated work.

Do the valved Moldex N95 models filter the air I breathe in less effectively?

No. The exhalation valve on models like the 2300, 2307 and 2700 only affects exhaled air, opening to release heat and moisture and reduce breathing resistance. Inhaled air still passes through the full N95 filter media. The trade-off is that valved models do not protect others from your exhaled breath, only you from the air.
