Hazard Coverage — Gerson 1750 N99 Particulate Respirator — Box of 20

The Gerson 1750 N99 Particulate Respirator — Box of 20 is NIOSH-approved under 42 CFR 84 Subpart K as an N99: ≥99% filtration of non-oil particulates — higher than N95 without oil resistance. Appropriate for fine non-oil dust and sub-micron metal fumes where N95 efficiency isn't sufficient. Browse all N99 and N100 respirators.

Not oil-resistant — for oil aerosols use R95 or P100. See our N95 vs P100 comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does N99 mean for the 1750?

N99 indicates NIOSH approval for ≥99% filtration of non-oil-based particles — higher than the N95 standard but without oil resistance. The 1750 is appropriate when N95's 95% efficiency isn't enough for fine non-oil particulates. Browse all N99 and N100 respirators.

How is the 1750 different from an N95?

The 1750 offers 99% filtration vs N95's 95% minimum — useful for finer particles like sub-micron metal fumes, extremely fine dust, or environments where a higher protection factor is desired without stepping up to a reusable half-face respirator. Neither N99 nor N95 provides oil resistance; for oil aerosols, choose R95 or P100.

Is the 1750 NIOSH-approved?

Yes. The 1750 is NIOSH-approved under 42 CFR 84 Subpart K as an N99 filtering facepiece respirator. Confirm the TC approval number on the NIOSH Certified Equipment List.

Does the 1750 require a fit test?

Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requires fit testing before first occupational use. Our fit testing guide covers both qualitative (QLFT) and quantitative (QNFT) protocols. A proper facial seal is essential for rated N99 performance.

Can the 1750 be used in oil mist environments?

No. N99 class respirators are rated for non-oil particulates only. In oil mist environments (spray painting, machining, oil-mist coolants), use an R95 (oil-resistant, one shift) or P100 (oil-proof, no time limit). See our N95 vs P100 comparison guide.

Is the 1750 reusable?

No, the 1750 is a disposable N99 respirator. Discard when soiled, damaged, or when breathing resistance increases. Do not wash or attempt to reconstitute the filter.

What hazards does the 1750 NOT protect against?

The 1750 does not filter gases, vapors, or chemical vapors — only non-oil particulates. For vapor hazards, you need a respirator with chemical cartridges. It also does not protect against oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

How many come in a box?

See the product title for pack count. Browse all N99 and N100 respirators for size options.

What is the shelf life of the 1750?

Typically 5 years from production date in original sealed packaging stored in cool, dry conditions. Check the expiration date on the box.

Does the 1750 work for wildfire smoke?

The 1750's N99 filter — at 99% efficiency — provides strong protection against wildfire smoke particles, which are sub-micron non-oil particulates. Smoke also contains gas-phase compounds not filtered by a particle mask; for prolonged wildfire smoke exposure, consider an OV/P100 combination.

How do I seal-check the 1750?

Cup both hands over the mask and exhale sharply — no air should escape at the edges. Then inhale and the mask should collapse slightly. Adjust the nose clip and re-seat straps if leakage is felt. See our fit test guide.

Does the 1750 require medical clearance?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requires a medical evaluation before employees are required to wear a tight-fitting respirator at work. Consult your safety officer or occupational health provider.
