3M has expanded its family of respirators to include the 3M Rugged Comfort Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6500 Series. Designed with comfort, durability and stability in mind, the 6500 Series respirator is built tough enough to withstand long hours and extreme conditions, yet be comfortable to wear. The over-molded design of the 6500 series also offers wearers simplified cleaning and maintenance.  

An estimated five million people across the United States are exposed to harmful dusts, gases, vapors and sprays daily while on the job.[1] The Rugged Comfort 6500 Series helps protect workers from these harmful substances with a soft but firm silicone faceseal that holds up in high-heat environments and comes equipped with long-lasting polyester-spandex straps. The 6500 Series also features a low-profile design for compatibility with other personal protective equipment.
