Applications
NIOSH approved Respirators that will make your job easy:
Woodturning, Woodworking
Airborne wood chips and wood projectiles. Air3’s P100 filters protect from wood dust and chips with over 99.97% efficiency. Air3 completely covers the head, so chips stays out of hair, ears, and face. The polycarbonate ANSI Z87+ high impact visor wraps around the face, protecting the head completely. Its excellent balance ensures hours of comfort while looking down at the workpiece. Air3’s all in one design and lack of hoses allows this work to be done comfortably, without tangles. Users can sit in a chair while working. Air3 is quiet enough to take a phone call while wearing. The silicone suspension and sound baffles means that ear bud based mics will properly hear voice commands and voice calls. The ultra wide field of view allows for face recognition in opening a phone. This is helpful to take a call, text, or YouTube video, all without taking off the respirator.
A microfiber cloth is recommended to clean the visor without scratches.
Warning: Air3 does not protect from VOC’s found in solvents of paints.
Stone Cutting
Silica dust is generated during the cutting and shaping of quartz, granite, concrete, and other stone materials. As part of the NIOSH approval, MicroClimate Air3 was subjected to specific tests to ensure the respirator protected against Silica dust. Its fiberglass P100 filters are effective at trapping Silica dust to reduce exposure to the wearer. Air3’s integrated polycarbonate visor also protects the face from flying debris. Earplugs may be used.
Air3’s comfort means users will spend more time wearing a respirator, and have less exposure to silica dust. Additionally, its performance is not affected by beards and strap adjustments, so users can get more consistent performance.

Powder handling
Airborne powders when processing food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, powder metallurgy, 3D printing, etc. Air3’s P100 filters trap over 99.97% of particulates, keeping the inside of the respirator clean and comfortable. The respirator completely covers the head, so powder also stays out of hair, ears, and face. The all in one design has no hoses or belt mounted blowers, so users can sit down to a workstation or operate a fork lift while wearing.
Visor may be cleaned off with compressed air. Air filters may be tapped to remove excess dust that accumulates. Never use compressed air to try and clean out the filter, it will damage the filter.
Warning: Some powders are combustible, and Air3 should not be used in these environments. Air3 is not intrinsically safe.
Powder Coat
Powder coatings use air as a solvent, generating a fine mist of particulates. Air3’s P100 filters protect from the fine particles with over 99.97% efficiency. Air3 completely covers the head, so powder also stays out of hair, ears, and face. Users often work in odd positions as they crawl underneath and inside work pieces. Air3’s all in one design and lack of hoses allows this work to be done comfortably, without tangles. Its excellent balance also ensures comfort while looking up and down.
A Microfiber cloth is recommended to clean the visor without scratches.
Sanding
Airborne Particulates from metal, fiberglass, carbon composites, plastics, paint, drywall, wood, concrete etc. Air3’s P100 filters protect from the fine particles with over 99.97% efficiency. Air3 completely covers the head, so dust also stays out of hair, ears, and face. Users often work in odd positions as they crawl underneath and inside work pieces. Air3’s all in one design and lack of hoses allows this work to be done comfortably, without tangles. It can be used with a creeper for laying down under a workpiece, and sitting down at a chair when working at a table. Its excellent balance also ensures comfort while looking in any direction.

Blasting
This process generates fine dust and rebounding blast media that require face and respiratory protection. To protect the face, Air3 has a polycarbonate visor that’s rated to ANSI Z87+ high impact to ensures the wearer is safe from rebounding debris. Disposable tear offs are available to protect the visor and keep vision clear. For respirator protection, Air3 has P100 filters to filter more than 99.97% of the particles in the air. It completely covers the head, so dust also stays out of hair, ears, and face. Blasting often requires work underneath, inside, or on top of work pieces. Air3’s all in one design and lack of hoses allows this work to be done comfortably, without tangles. Its excellent balance also ensures comfort while looking up and down.

Grinding
This process generates high velocity sparks, requiring face and respiratory protection.Air3’s polycarbonate ANSI Z87+ high impact visor wraps around the face, protecting the head completely.While the visor shields the face, onboard filtration protects the lungs. P100 filters have the industry’s first integrated spark arrestors.Air3’s excellent balance makes it easy to look down at the workplace without straining your neck.
Healthcare
Biological hazards, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites pose risks to healthcare professionals and patients. Air3 purifies incoming air with P100 filters. The exhaust air also passes through a filter. Air3 is first to feature exhaust filtration, most others have open holes beneath the chin for exhaust air. Communication with patients is enhanced with Air3’s ultra wide field of view, the largest in the industry. The respirator is one of the quietest in the industry because of a silicone suspension and baffles to reduce interior noise. When very long runtimes are needed an external battery may be connected to the USB-c port to charge Air3 while running.
Wiping down the respirator is easy given Air3’s sleek monocoque manifold and ellipsoid visor.
