I need to know if the P100 filters are okay to use for protection from fumes while torching and enameling glass to metal?

I don't know but what I can tell you is I get a mild smell through the respirator when gluing models. It does cut down a huge amount

They are best with a gas burner underneath a screen, an then the fibreglass on top of the screen . As you wouldn't want them in the ashes , you would have to separate them from the ashes after each use

Yes. Totally safe. In fact having the element exposed let's the drippings fall onto them and the pan underneath to produce some great smokey flavor.

No they are particulate filters. Good to 1micron. Would likely stop most of paint pigment but not the vapour. You would need organic vapour cartridge for this mask as well.

This mask is sufficient for many different task. The filter is what dictates the appropriate safety. A pink n95 rated filter will handle particulates fine.

I would think so. While wearing these filters, I cannot smell smoke or paint fumes while working with and grinding metal etc.

I haven't tried welding with them. But they are solid construction and the filter should be sufficient.

Well this kind of respirator is meant to be used when working with chemical fumes, but I'd say even with the prefilter pads you are good to go. Maybe add the Organic Vapor filter to add something on top of that. Hope that helps.

These are particulate ONLY so as long as you're not creating vapors from a heat gun on the lead paint, I would think they would be OK. I would use it if I were just scraping or sanding but to be more safe and comply with OSHA, you'd likely have to use one of the VAPOR cartridges.

ebola is transmitted by inhalation(http://www.engr.psu.edu/iec/abe/database/vFiloE.htm). Yes, the p100 works pretty well for protection from viruses. The maximum penetrating particle size is .3 microns. The p100 filters stop 99.97% of particles of this size. Particles smaller (like ebola) and particles larger are both filtered better than the .3 micron size.

If you dont mind soot on the cookware then yes. Keep in mind the handles have plastic formed around the metal... these may melt but mine havent yet. You could always take a boxcutter and shave the plastic off prior to use.

I've only done electronics soldering next to this thing. It --slowly-- draws in the smoke/fumes from the flux quite well and the filter seems to absorb them well. You do have to keep your work close to the unit - and I think that's why it does a slow convection - so it doesn't cool off your work. I like it because I don't like to wear little masks because they fog up any glasses that I wear. To be honest, I'm not sure how it would do around welding. I would think that if you're generating lots of sparks then there might be an issue with how close you can get the unit to your work without blasting it with cast-off and melting the filter or pitting the plastic housing. But, if you're talking about brazing - then I think it'll do the job. The housing is plastic, not metal, so it might be a concern around any sparking cast off. However - if you are doing any soldering - then this is a great unit - and you might just get it for that and then try it out next to your welding jobs.

Definitely safer than flames. :-)Monoammonium Phosphate MSDS at: http://www.innophos.com/en/products-and-markets/browse-product-categories/phosphate-salt/ammonium-phosphates/monoammonium-phosphate-tech/product-categories-msds

Hi Aaron. This would NOT be very appropriate for that. This filter just stops particulates - basically dust, dirt, maybe pollen, any particle that floats in the air. The filter you want to use for painting and cleaning is termed with "organic vapor". Search for the product named "3M 6001 Organic Vapor Cartridge". That's the type of filter to use for most types of chemical vapors. (Always be sure to read the fine print though.) But that will work for typical cleaning and painting. I personally use that one, and it works really well. (Make sure when you're done to store the organic vapor ones in an air-tight ziploc bag to prolong their life.) Hi Aaron.

I'm not sure,but you can make an research on Google,I'm using this respirator for asbestos removal.If silica particulars(dust)are smaller then 0.03mm that is not ok but if particular are bigger than 0.03mm,than is ok.0

Unless I am misunderstanding your question, painting is exactly what these filters are for. I am using them to paint my entire house interior with an airless sprayer and they work great. No fumes and do not clog.

Cartridges and filters are sold separately. Any P100 cartridge and filter will protect against the mold. Pls contact Clorox direct and request a MSDS sheet and ask them about respiratory protection required for the Clorox.
