3M makes several different types of protective face masks to suit different purposes. When worn properly, N95 masks offer some of the best protection against viral particles like COVID-19. A 3M respirator mask could be suitable if you work with chemicals, gases or noxious fumes.
Check out this page on the Government of Canada website to learn more about different types of face masks and which type of mask provides the best protection against COVID-19.

Description
How long does it last?
3M N95 masks
Sick patients, their caregivers and the general public for protection against viral particles.
Blocks at least 95% of airborne particles when worn properly. Adheres to government testing regulations.
Can be reused in certain situations, but must be discarded after coming into contact with bodily fluids, infected patients or any potentially harmful substances.
3M Disposable (surgical) masks
Medical professionals (for some procedures). Does not provide total protection against viral particles.
Not as protective as N95 masks in blocking viral particles. Edges are not tightly sealed around the mouth and nose, so it’s possible for particles to pass through the mask.
Single use for up to several hours. Dispose after coming into contact with bodily fluids, infected patients or any potentially harmful substances.
3M Respirator masks
Construction workers, people who work in badly ventilated areas and people who work with chemicals or gases. Does not provide total protection against viral particles.
Blocks at least 95% of airborne particles when worn properly. However, the respirator potentially exposes others to infection.
Can be reused in certain situations, but must be discarded after coming into contact with bodily fluids, infected patients or any potentially harmful substances.
3M Cloth face masks
The general population when in public if a better-quality mask (like a N95 mask) is not available.
Typically made from cotton fabric with elastic or tie straps. Some designs have a bendable nose piece to create a tighter fit to the face.
Can be washed and reused for weeks or even months, as long as the material maintains its integrity.
The Trump-3M face mask distribution deal
In April 2020, former US President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to prevent 3M from sending N95 masks to Canada and Latin America and instead prioritize orders from the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA sent these N95s to high-priority recipients in the US—primarily healthcare workers, first responders and frontline personnel.
Soon after this, the presidential administration and 3M representatives reached an agreement to delivery 55.5 million masks each month out of its anticipated monthly supply of 166.5 million masks.
By April 2021, 3M began distributing the Canadian-made N95 face masks out of its Brockville Ontario facility, which had been expanded to accommodate increased production. The initiative was funded in part by $23.335 million investment from the Government of Canada.
Will a 3M mask protect me from COVID-19?
Some of 3M’s masks, like N95 masks, meet regulatory standards for protecting the wearer from transmitting and receiving viral particles masks.
However, 3M also manufactures masks for other purposes, and these may not provide adequate protection against viral particles. This includes 3M Daily Face Masks, which are made of cloth, and disposable (surgical) masks.
Check the mask’s product specifications to determine whether it contains a filtration device.
What does 3M mean?
3M stands for “Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing,” the original name of the company when it was founded in 1902. In 2002, the name was officially shortened to 3M.
3M is a brand name, not the name of a regulated product or product category. Terms like “N95” and “surgical mask” refer to protective face masks manufactured in specific ways to provide a certain level of protection for the wearer.
