Dust Masks & Respirators

Finishing masks and respirators commonly known as P-Series particulate respirators (P95, P97, and P100) provide protection against both solid and liquid aerosol particulates that may contain oil and are best for working with wood stains, paints, and other finishes.

Woodworking masks and respirators commonly known as N-Series particulate respirators (N95, N99, and N100) are not resistant to oil. Examples of common non-oil based solid particulates include “dust” particles related to coal, iron ore, metal, wood and pollen and non-oil based liquids.
