3M Particulate Respirator 8210V, 10 Count, 8 Per Case

The 3M Particulate Respirator 8210V is designed for dusty work settings. It has a nose cushion, adjustable nose clip, and electrostatic media for ease of breathing.

Uses

Factory and manufacturing floors: Wear during grinding, sanding, sweeping, and other operations that generate fine dust and non-oil-based particulates.
Food processing plants: Use in dry ingredient handling, milling, and packaging areas where airborne particles are a concern.
Pharmacies and compounding areas: Protect against nuisance dust and particulate exposure during counting, pouring, and mixing tasks.
Construction and renovation: Block dust from drywall cutting, concrete work, insulation installation, and general demolition cleanup.
Agricultural settings: Guard against grain dust, pollen, and other non-oil-based airborne particles during harvesting and handling.

Who Would Benefit

• Industrial workers exposed to dust, smoke, and non-oil-based particulates on a daily basis
• Facilities managers outfitting factory floors, processing lines, or warehouses with PPE supplies
• Construction crews and contractors working in dusty job-site conditions
• Pharmacy staff and lab technicians handling dry compounds and powders
• Agricultural workers dealing with grain dust, animal dander, and field particulates
• Safety compliance officers maintaining OSHA-required respiratory protection programs

Product Highlights

• NIOSH-approved N95 classification with at least 95% filtration efficiency against non-oil-based particles
• Adjustable nose clip for a custom fit and reduced fogging of safety eyewear
• Soft nose foam cushion for comfort during long wear periods
• Electrostatic filter media for effective particle capture with low breathing resistance
• Spacious design accommodates a range of face shapes and sizes
• Bulk case format: 8 packs of 10 respirators each, 80 total per case

Application Areas

The 8210V is rated for environments where non-oil-based particulates are the primary hazard. This includes dry dust from woodworking, metal grinding, masonry cutting, and textile processing, as well as nuisance dust in food manufacturing and pharmaceutical compounding. It is not designed for oil-mist environments; for those settings, an R- or P-class respirator should be used instead. The adjustable nose clip helps maintain a proper seal across diverse face profiles, which is especially important in workplaces where multiple employees share the same respirator model from a central PPE cabinet.

Use Case Notes

This respirator is disposable and should be replaced when it becomes damaged, soiled, or noticeably harder to breathe through. The 10-count pack is convenient for individual issue or bench-top dispensing, while the 8-pack case is sized right for supply closets and tool-room distribution. Inspect the nose foam and straps before each use; a compromised seal reduces filtration effectiveness. Store unused respirators in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the electrostatic charge in the filter media.
