Best Respirator for Spray Painting?? 3M Respirator with P100 2097 Filters

Hullo! Alright, so is what is the best respirator for spray painting?? Well, that depends. Sorry for the lawyer answer. So I got the 3M respirator with p100 2097 filters in March of 2020 when Covid hit and we all had an epic amount of time to start fun projects. My sister in law gave me a desk and I was like hmm, I'mma strip all the paint off and shadow stain this mug. Well, everything was glorious until I started getting dizzy and seeing stars. I mean the paint stripper was pretty hardcore so I went to Lowe's all drowsy and searched for a respirator. The Lowe's lady noticed how I only had half of our brain and suggested the 3M Respirator with the P100 2097 filters. And I didn't know anything different so I figured alright lady, you're cool, I'll give it a shot. SO I decided to do some research to see if this was the best respirator for spray painting. Alright, get ready for an explosion of information guys, cause you know I come at you with research. 3M is the brand and they make all different types of respirators so they have full face and half face masks. The one in the video is half face so it's not going to protect you from particles that could get in your eyes like mold apparently. This filter has pancake filters, but others filter more and have chemical cartridge filters. So when it says P100, the P stands for oil proof. Most spray paints are oil based. I use Montana water based because it’s healthier, but if yours is oil based, the good news is that does not compromise these filters. It uses a static electric charge to catch the particles and oil would normally interfere with that if these weren’t designed to be highly effective even with oil in the air. The main job these guys have is to filter out organic and nonorganic particulates. There is a layer of charcoal in them to filter out organic (mold, viruses [blocks out 99.97 percent of airborne particles including viruses, so yes it would filter out the corona virus]) and nonorganic particulates (asbestos and lead). They also have nuisance level organic vapor relief which means they filter out contaminants that are below OSHA’s permissible exposure limits which are basically things that just smell bad (farts 🤣) So because it is an organic vapor rated filter it stops aerosols or the harmful propellant from entering your lungs. You know when they need to be changed when it’s hard to breathe through or you can smell your spray paint. The 3M Respirator Selection Guide says that you need to replace the filters for every 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever comes first. But homie, I used it for a year and I couldn't smell anything up until a year. This guy was 20 bucks at Lowe’s and I got the replacement filters 15.50 on Amazon. Lowe’s was sold out...I guess people are buying this thing to block out the corona virus haha I'm not sure, just a guess. Most spray paints have volatile organic compounds. The most common are Acetone, Xylene, and Toluene. Acetone damages the central nervous system, but the 2097 has a layer of charcoal in it and so it will filter out acetone. Xylene causes abdominal pain, incoordination, sleepiness and nausea. Musk xylene induces malignant transformation of human liver cell. I couldn’t figure out if it filtered this out or not. However the 3M NIOSH 42 CFR 84 filters this out. Finally, toluene causes euphoria, muscle fatigue, but I couldn't find out if this caused cancer. According to the 3M Respirator Selection Guide, to filter this out, you would need a respirator with a chemical cartridge, versus the 2097 which is a pancake filter with no cartridge. The issue is inhalation and the skin absorbing it. And in my case, I get hungry after I spray paint so I normally eat it, I was peeling an orange and wondered why the peel was blue then it dawned on me.
