It's the right disposable choice when P100 protection is required and you want the convenience of a cup-style disposable rather than a reusable half-mask with filter cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#1a1a1a;border-left:4px solid #ff9800;border-radius:4px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eKey specs at a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top:10px;padding-left:18px;line-height:2;color:#e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guides\/n95-vs-kn95-vs-p100-which-respirator-do-you-actually-need\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ffb74d;\"\u003eNIOSH Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e P100 — 99.97% efficiency, oil-proof\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guides\/best-3m-full-face-respirator\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ffb74d;\"\u003eExhalation Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3M Cool Flow — reduces heat and moisture buildup\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ffb74d;\"\u003eFace Seal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft face seal foam for improved fit on facial contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ffb74d;\"\u003eNose Clip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable metal nose clip for secure fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ffb74d;\"\u003eHead Straps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual adjustable straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ffb74d;\"\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e NIOSH 42 CFR 84\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eP100 Disposable vs Half-Mask Respirator — Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;background:#1a1a1a;color:#e0e0e0;margin:16px 0;font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#2a2a2a;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px 12px;border:1px solid #333;color:#ffb74d;text-align:left;\"\u003eFactor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px 12px;border:1px solid #333;color:#ffb74d;text-align:center;\"\u003e8293 P100 Disposable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px 12px;border:1px solid #333;color:#ffb74d;text-align:center;\"\u003eHalf-Mask + 2091 P100\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eFiltration Efficiency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;text-align:center;\"\u003e99.97%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;text-align:center;\"\u003e99.97%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#222;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eGas\/Vapor Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;text-align:center;\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;text-align:center;\"\u003eAdd vapor cartridge (e.g. 6001)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;text-align:center;\"\u003eDiscard when soiled or damaged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px 12px;border:1px solid #333;text-align:center;\"\u003eReplace filters;

The P100 rating means it captures 99.97% of airborne particles — it contains no sorbent for gas or vapor protection. For environments with both particles and vapor hazards, use a reusable half-mask respirator with combination cartridges such as the 3M 60923.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use the 8293 for lead abatement?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the 8293 meets OSHA's minimum P100 requirement for lead work at many exposure levels. However, lead abatement may also require supplied-air respirators at higher concentrations. Consult your industrial hygienist and refer to 29 CFR 1910.1025 or 1926.62 for task-specific requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is the face seal different from a standard cup respirator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8293 has a soft foam face seal that conforms to the contours of the face for improved fit, particularly along the cheek and jaw line. This reduces gapping that can occur with hard-shell cup respirators on non-standard face shapes, though it is not a substitute for proper fit testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs fit testing required for the 8293?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requires annual fit testing for all tight-fitting respirators, including disposable cup-style respirators. Fit test results are model-specific — testing on a different respirator model does not apply to the 8293.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow many come in a box?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3M 8293 is sold in boxes of 20 respirators.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41701850153048,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/1900\/0920\/files\/4MH54_2.jpg?v=1716249332","url":"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/3m-8293-p100-disposable-respirator","provider":"WC Safety","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
