Gerson 8000 Series OV/P95 Disposable Half Mask Respirator

The Gerson 8000 Series OV/P95 Disposable Half is a NIOSH-approved P95 disposable respirator that filters at least 95% of airborne particles, oil-proof. It is a made-in-USA option for sustained oil mist plus particulate. As a cup, unvalved respirator, it is suitable for source-control settings where exhaled air must also be filtered. Sold multiple per pack.

Step changes by hazard: for maximum filtration a N95 covers most work, R95 adds oil resistance, and P100 gives oil-proof 99.97% filtration. For gases or vapors, no filtering facepiece will do — use a half mask respirator with cartridges.

Gerson 8000 Series OV/P95 Disposable Half key specs

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.

• Rating: NIOSH P95 (95% of airborne particles, oil-proof)
• Oil: strongly oil-proof
• Style: cup, unvalved
• Pack: multiple per pack
• Use for: sustained oil mist plus particulate
• Not for: hazardous gas/vapor levels, or oxygen-deficient atmospheres

The Gerson 8000 Series OV/P95 Disposable Half is a standalone disposable respirator — it does not take cartridges or filters.
