Moldex 7002 7000 Series Half-Mask Respirator

The Moldex 7002 is a reusable half-mask elastomeric respirator sold as a facepiece body only · no cartridges are included and no compatible cartridges are named in the listing. The NIOSH cert claim cannot be verified: the TC-84A number is absent from the listing, and the cdc.gov NIOSH-CEL database was inaccessible on 2026-06-04. Three body sizes exist (Small 7001 / Medium 7002 / Large 7003); the Moldex medium is calibrated larger than other brands · owners with smaller faces reported a poor seal on the medium. Sustained-wear comfort is well-regarded by owners.

Best for owners doing regular paint correction, body filler work, or light solvent-based prep who also need protection against sanding particulate. Pair with a Moldex 7000-series OV/P100 cartridge (sourced separately) for solvent-vapor and fine-particulate coverage in a single setup. Skip for occasional dust-only work · a single-use N95 disposable costs less for infrequent use. Negative-pressure respirators cannot achieve their rated seal on a bearded face.

Health scores 8.5: base 9.5 for a reusable elastomeric facepiece, minus 1.0 because the TC-84A number is absent from the listing and cert verification against cdc.gov was not possible on the build date. Environment scores 4.95: reusable body earns a lifecycle credit; cartridges and facepiece are landfill-bound at end of life.
