Fiberglass Respirator Question ?

[jonndena]

I am starting a project and am going to be doing a lot of fiberglass sanding and grinding. I am having a hard time finding a respirator that says it is for use with fiberglass. I have found them for mold, drywall ,blah ,blah, etc. I just want to make sure i get the right one. So if anyone knows of a website or even some makes and model numbers of what you guys out there are using that would be great.

Look for a HEPA filter. Any mask with this type filter should be fine.

Good luck.

Ayuh,... You're looking to stop the Dust,....
The fact that it's fiberglass Dust is pretty much Irrelevant....

Use a ecoquest air purifier to "drop" the particles as you work. It will charge the air and drop the particles to the ground. I use a good 3m respirator with the little flap on it. This was when I used to do HVAC work with Duct Board.

I use a 3m respirator.
The same kind I use to paint cars.
Double filtered on each side.
One doesn't even smell the fiberglass when wearing that mask.

Thanks for the input. I bought a 3M with P100 filters. I hoping that will keep me safe. Thanks again.
