What are N95 pre-filters and when should I use them?
A N95 pre-filter is often used in conjunction with a cartridge when protection from a non-toxic dust is necessary. A good example of when to use a prefilter would be with a charcoal or organic vapor cartridge for non-oil based pesticide and paint spray applications because they will trap liquid particles, extending the life of your cartridge.
