Respiratory protection is a significant concern for welders due to the release of fumes and gases as part of the process. In addition to the metal fumes and toxic gases, welding hazards include burns and radiation from the flame/arc, molten metal splashes, sparks and heated surfaces. The 3M 8512 welding respirator provides lightweight, effective and comfortable respiratory protection in applications like welding, soldering and other operations where metal fumes may be present. The 8512 respirator is also compatible with other 3M personal safety products, e.g. eyewear and earplugs.
