3M 8200 N95 Disposable Particulate Respirator Features
Built for industrial dust and particulate environments, the 3M 8200 N95 disposable particulate respirator is 3M's foundational N95 model — the dual-strap cup-style design that has anchored construction, woodworking, and manufacturing PPE programs for decades. NIOSH-approved under TC-84A-0007, the 8200 (marked 8200/07023 on retail packaging) filters at least 95% of airborne particles 0.3 microns and larger.
For procurement teams stocking general-purpose particulate protection, the 8200 delivers 3M's certified N95 filtration at one of the lowest per-unit price points in the disposable respirator category — making it the go-to choice for high-volume PPE programs where every cent per mask multiplies across thousands of units annually. Lightweight cup construction with adjustable noseclip seals against most face shapes without requiring fit-test variants.

Industrial and Laboratory Applications
To meet OSHA assigned protection factor requirements for nuisance dust and non-oil-based aerosols, the 8200 is widely deployed in construction sanding, drywall finishing, masonry cutting, agricultural grain handling, woodshop dust collection, and laboratory applications including sample weighing rooms and animal facility cleaning. The 8200 is rated for non-healthcare environments — for clinical use, the 3M 8210 with its more rigorous fit profile is typically specified.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 3M 8200 and 3M 8210?
Both the 3M 8200 and 8210 are NIOSH-approved N95 respirators sharing the same TC-84A-0007 approval. The 8200 uses a stapled dual-strap design and is positioned for general industrial dust applications. The 8210 features a braided headband and reinforced M-noseclip and is more commonly specified for healthcare and laboratory environments where extended fit reliability is critical.
Is the 3M 8200 NIOSH approved?
Yes. The 3M 8200 N95 disposable particulate respirator is approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health under approval number TC-84A-0007. The respirator filters at least 95% of airborne particles 0.3 microns and larger and is rated for non-oil-based particulate hazards.
Can the 3M 8200 be used in healthcare settings?
3M positions the 8200 primarily for industrial use rather than healthcare. While it carries the same N95 approval as healthcare-specified respirators, facilities operating under OSHA respiratory protection programs typically specify the 3M 8210 or 1860 for clinical patient care. Consult your facility's respiratory protection program for the model approved under your written procedures.
