Quad-flow particle-and-gas respirators

Reusable half-masks are simple, comfortable and reliable

RS Components (RS) has introduced the 3M Secure Click HF-800 series, the first respirator platform to use a quadruple-flow filter/cartridge system to enhance breathability.

3M Secure Click is a range of reusable half-mask respirator products featuring a simple yet reassuring assembly mechanism for particulate filters and gas-vapour cartridges, which works rather like a seat belt. 

The wearer simply aligns the connections and pushes the filter or cartridge until an audible click indicates correct installation.

An easy one-touch user seal check button instills confidence that the respirator is fitted properly for comfortable breathing, especially when it is to be used for a long time. 

A silicone face seal with patented flex-joint nose bridge provides a soft, comfortable feel on the face. 

Head cradle buckles are easy to adjust; simply pull the straps to tighten and squeeze the buckles to loosen. 

An over-moulded design allows easy assembly and disassembly.

Breathing comfort is enhanced by the industry’s first quadruple-flow gas and vapour filter combination, whereby two dual-flow cartridges are mounted on either side of the respirator to create four distinct airflow paths. Exhaled breath and moisture are directed in a downward direction towards the exhalation valve.

3M Secure Click HF-800 respirators offer an optional speaking diaphragm to facilitate clear communication in the workplace.

HF-800 respirators come in three sizes – small, medium and large – weighing between 177g and 188g. They are designed for use with 3M approved Secure Click cartridges and filters, which carry EN approvals for protection against particulates, a wide variety of gases and vapours – including organic vapours with boiling point over 65°C, acid gases, ammonia and its derivatives, and ozone – or various combinations thereof.

A primary application of 3M Secure Click is as personal protective equipment (PPE) for maintenance engineers in manufacturing industry, but it can also be used in the agricultural, construction, mining, drilling, pharmaceutical and transportation sectors to secure health and safety in tasks such as chemical handling and clean-up, casting, chipping, chiselling, grinding, machining, masonry, painting, sanding, sawing, welding, electroplating, furnace operation, laboratory work, batch charging, change-overs and hazardous waste handling.

The low-profile half-mask design provides a wide field of view and compatibility with various welding and grinding shields.

The 3M Secure Click HF-800 respirators are available from RS in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
