R3 Safety Disposable Particulate N95 Respirator - 20-Count Box

Reliable NIOSH N95 Protection for Dusty Grow Room Tasks, 20-Pack

Handling dry amendments, sweeping propagation media, or working a heavy-pollen flowering room puts fine particulates in the air that a bandana or cloth mask does nothing to stop. This R3 Safety respirator uses electrostatic non-woven filter media to meet the NIOSH N95 standard, trapping at least 95% of airborne, non-oil-based particulates before they reach the wearer.

Sold in a 20-count box, it's sized to stock a shared grow room PPE station or outfit a small crew across several work sessions without running short mid-task.

Key Features & Benefits

• NIOSH N95 filtration — electrostatic non-woven fibers capture at least 95% of airborne, non-oil particulates for dependable respiratory protection during dusty tasks.
• Molded nose bridge — the form-fitted shape and adjustable bridge create a close facial seal that reduces air bypass around the mask edges.
• Dual welded head straps — hold the respirator securely in place across a full shift without relying on adhesive that can fail with sweat or humidity.
• Latex-free, hypoallergenic materials — make the mask a suitable option for wearers with latex sensitivities or known allergies.
• Soft inner lining — reduces skin irritation and improves comfort during extended wear.

Who Should Use This Respirator

Growers, greenhouse staff, and nursery crews working around dry fertilizer amendments, propagation media dust, or heavy pollen exposure benefit from N95-level filtration. It's a practical stock item for a grow operation's general PPE supply, though it doesn't substitute for a vapor-rated respirator on pesticide or chemical application tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this respirator N95 rated?

Yes, this R3 Safety respirator is NIOSH N95 rated, meaning its electrostatic filter media captures at least 95% of airborne particulates that aren't oil-based. That makes it suitable for dry dust, pollen, and similar non-oil particulate exposure rather than oil mist or chemical vapors.

What is the difference between this mask and a reusable respirator?

This is a single-use disposable respirator meant to be discarded after one use or once it becomes soiled or damaged. For reusable protection with replaceable filter cartridges, including options rated for organic vapors, a half-mask elastomeric respirator is the better fit.

Is this mask suitable for pesticide application work?

This N95 respirator filters particulates only and doesn't protect against organic vapors or chemical gases, so it isn't sufficient PPE for most pesticide label requirements on its own. Always check the specific product label's required respiratory protection before choosing PPE for a chemical application task.

Will this respirator work for someone with a latex allergy?

Yes — the suspension straps on this respirator are latex-free and the mask materials are hypoallergenic, making it a suitable option for wearers with latex sensitivities. That's worth confirming on any PPE you stock if members of your crew have known latex allergies.

How do I know when to replace this respirator?

Replace it once breathing becomes noticeably harder through the filter media, if the straps stretch out and no longer hold a snug seal, or after a single shift of heavy dust exposure. Since it's a disposable respirator, it isn't designed to be cleaned and reused across multiple sessions.

How many respirators come in a box?

Each box contains 20 individually packed disposable N95 respirators, sized for stocking a shared PPE station or outfitting a small crew across several work sessions. Reordering by the box keeps a consistent supply on hand without running short mid-task.
