The 3M™ Powerflow™ 6900PF Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Full Facepiece – Large is a high-efficiency respiratory protection system designed for professionals working in hazardous particulate environments. Engineered for comfort, mobility, and enhanced protection, this lightweight and well-balanced PAPR system delivers continuous airflow to reduce breathing resistance and increase user productivity.

Designed for use in asbestos abatement, lead removal, silica exposure, and industrial maintenance, this respirator features a full-face mask with an integrated blower motor, eliminating the need for a waist-mounted motor unit. The NIOSH-approved system provides protection against dust, mist, fumes, radionuclides, and radon progeny, ensuring safety in high-risk workplaces.

Powered by a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery, the Powerflow™ 6900PF PAPR offers up to eight hours of continuous operation and maintains a minimum airflow of 4 CFM (cubic feet per minute) for optimal breathability. The ANSI Z87.1-2003 impact-resistant face shield provides clear visibility and eye protection, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.
