Hello, 

I am quite new to using resins and am unsure which respirator filter to use when working with epoxy. I am looking to purchase a 3M 6000 series respirator, but when searching which filter i will require as i'm not too sure what the hazards associated with using resins are (and any other safety equipment aside from nitrile gloves). I will link the chart i found below

Any help will be much appreciated

cheers

Ronan

Select the epoxy one from the fibreglass section. It shows a 6051 filter.  You can get additional particulate filters if you want them.
