OVERVIEW

Superior Respiratory Protection with the 3M Ultimate FX FF-403

The 3M Ultimate FX Full Facepiece Reusable Respirator FF-403 represents the pinnacle of industrial respiratory comfort and functionality. Designed for the most demanding work environments, this respirator is engineered to provide rugged durability without sacrificing wearer comfort. The FF-403 is the Large size model in the Ultimate FX series, featuring a soft, silicone nose cup and faceseal that conforms gently to the face, reducing pressure points during extended wear. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals in painting, chemical handling, and heavy manufacturing who require reliable protection for entire shifts.

One of the standout features of the FF-403 is its proprietary Scotchgard™ protector on the lens. This advanced coating causes some paints, stains, and other liquids to bead up on the surface, allowing them to be wiped off easily. This feature significantly extends the life of the lens and maintains optical clarity in messy environments where standard lenses would quickly become obscured. Furthermore, the large lens design offers a wide field of view, ensuring excellent peripheral vision which is critical for safety in busy industrial settings.

Communication on the job site is vital, and the Ultimate FX addresses this with a positioned passive speaking diaphragm. This innovative feature allows the wearer to be heard clearly by colleagues without the need to remove the facepiece, maintaining safety protocols while enhancing teamwork. The respirator also utilizes the 3M™ Cool Flow™ Valve, which promotes easier breathing and helps reduce heat and moisture buildup inside the mask, keeping the wearer cool and dry even in hot and humid conditions.

The mask is equipped with a six-strap head harness that wraps securely around the head, minimizing shifting and providing a stable seal. The low-profile bayonet connection system is compatible with a vast range of 3M particulate filters, gas, and vapor cartridges, making this one of the most versatile safety tools in your arsenal. Whether you are dealing with particulates, organic vapors, or acid gases, the FF-403 adapts to your specific safety requirements.

FAQ

The FF-403 is the Large size in the 3M Ultimate FX FF-400 Series. The Small is FF-401 and the Medium is FF-402.

No, the 3M FF-403 is sold as the facepiece only. Filters and cartridges must be purchased separately based on your specific hazards.

You cannot wear standard temple-arm glasses as they will break the face seal. You must use a 3M Spectacle Kit (such as the 3M 6878) to mount prescription lenses inside the mask.

The Scotchgard coating makes the lens resistant to staining and allows paints, adhesives, and liquids to bead up, making the lens much easier to wipe clean without smearing.

Yes, the lens on the FF-403 is replaceable. 3M offers replacement lenses and lens covers to extend the life of the respirator.

It can be used for welding if equipped with the appropriate filters (like 2097 for fumes), but it does not fit under most standard welding helmets. It is ideal for grinding or environments where a darkening welding lens is not required, or when used with specific adapters.

Remove the filters/cartridges and wash the facepiece in warm soapy water (not exceeding 120°F). Do not use solvents. Rinse with clean water and air dry in a non-contaminated area.

The FF-403 uses the standard 3M Bayonet connection system, making it compatible with 3M 2000, 2200, 7000, and 5000 series filters, and 6000 series cartridges.
