Modular Range
The new modular range of 3M™ Powered Air & Airfed Respirators allows the customer to choose how they want their system configured, with the flexibility to change their 3M™ Respiratory Protection in the future.

For an overview of the new range, see the 3M Modular Range pdf file.

3M™ QRS Headtops
The modular range comprises 22 different Powered Air & Airfed Respirator Headtops, grouped into five Headtop Series.

3M™ 100 Series Hoods
3M™ 400 Series Visors
3M™ 600 Series Welding Visors
