FAQs

With which helmets does the M-445 standard outer shroud work? ⌄

It is compatible with 3M Versaflo M-Series helmets (M-400 series) when used along with the inner shroud (M-444) and other standard components.

What material is used for the outer shroud? ⌄

The M-445 uses polypropylene-coated non-woven polypropylene — a lightweight, disposable fabric layer.

Can the outer shroud be cleaned and reused? ⌄

The shroud is generally considered disposable; for light cleaning, it may be wiped with mild soap solution and air-dried — but should be replaced when worn, damaged or heavily soiled.

Does M-445 provide respiratory protection by itself? ⌄

No — M-445 is only an outer shroud accessory. It must be used as part of a complete approved Versaflo helmet, inner shroud, and air-supply system to provide the required respiratory and PPE protection.

For what types of work environments is M-445 suitable? ⌄

Suitable for general-purpose industrial, maintenance, painting, sanding, light chemical handling, facility upkeep, and other workplaces where helmet-mounted supplied-air or PAPR respiratory protection is required.

What should be done if the shroud is damaged or soiled? ⌄

Dispose of and replace — do not attempt to repair — to ensure integrity of the aerosol and dust barrier and to maintain hygiene.
