3M 1744C Particulate Filter (P2, with Activated Carbon)

The 3M 1744C filter is a genuine waffle-style P2 particulate filter with an activated-carbon layer. It captures fine dust and mist to P2 level while the carbon also reduces nuisance odours, making it a comfortable choice for dusty tasks that involve light, unpleasant smells.

Product overview

The 1744C is a replacement particulate filter for compatible 3M reusable half-face respirators. Because it combines particulate filtration with an activated-carbon layer, it does more than a plain dust filter by absorbing low-level nuisance odours. Filters are consumable, so you replace them when breathing becomes difficult or your change-out schedule requires it.
