26-0099-28 - 3M Speedglas 9100 FX Replacement Face Seal 26-0099-28

Maintain Respiratory Integrity with the Speedglas 9100 FX Face Seal

The 3M Speedglas Face Seal 26-0099-28 is a critical component for the maintenance and safe operation of the Speedglas 9100 FX and 9100 FX-Air welding helmet systems. In industrial environments where Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) are utilized, the integrity of the face seal is paramount. This replacement seal is engineered to create a closed environment around the welder's face, ensuring that the positive pressure generated by the PAPR unit effectively excludes contaminated ambient air, welding fumes, and particulates.

Constructed from high-quality, flame-retardant textiles, this face seal is designed to withstand the rigorous conditions of heavy manufacturing and fabrication. It resists sparks and spatter while remaining flexible enough to accommodate the unique flip-up visor mechanism of the 9100 FX series. Over time, face seals can become worn, torn, or saturated with grime, which compromises the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of the respiratory system. Regular inspection and replacement of the 26-0099-28 face seal are essential protocols for safety managers and welders aiming to maintain compliance with occupational safety standards.

Installation is straightforward, allowing for quick change-outs during maintenance intervals without significant downtime. The seal attaches securely to the helmet shell, preventing gaps that could allow hazardous ingress. By using genuine 3M replacement parts, you ensure that the helmet's airflow dynamics function as designed, directing clean air over the face and visor to reduce fogging and heat buildup.
