3M

3M is an American multinational conglomerate founded in 1902 and today recognised as one of the world's most innovative manufacturers of personal protective equipment. The safety division covers head protection, eye protection, hearing protection and respiratory protection, with products sold in over 200 countries. Hacsons has been supplying safety equipment to Pakistani industries since 1996, and as an authorized 3M dealer we stock models from the ₨5,500 G3000 hard hat up to the ₨6,000 SecureFit H-701SFR-UV. That is over 40 years of experience matching the right 3M product to the right workplace hazard.

About 3M: What Makes This Brand Different

3M did not start as a safety company. It began in 1902 as a mining venture that failed, then pivoted to sandpaper manufacturing, and spent the next century inventing products that ranged from Scotch tape to Post-it Notes to automotive adhesives. The safety division grew out of that broader innovation culture. When 3M engineers developed the Uvicator sensor disc for hard hats, they were applying the same materials science that went into their medical adhesives and aerospace coatings. That cross-pollination is why 3M products tend to solve problems that other brands do not even recognise.

The Uvicator sensor is the clearest example. Hard hat shells degrade under UV exposure, and most workers keep wearing them long after the plastic has lost its impact resistance. 3M's sensor changes colour from red to white when the shell has absorbed enough UV radiation to require replacement. That is not a feature you find on cheaper helmets. It is a design decision that comes from understanding how materials fail in real workplaces, not just in laboratory tests. The same thinking shows up in the SecureFit Pressure Diffusion Ratchet, which reduces forehead pressure by up to 30% compared to standard suspensions, and in the G3000's 180-degree rotatable head harness that improves visibility when working in confined spaces.

3M also invests heavily in certification. Every product in the safety range carries EN, ANSI or both, and many carry additional approvals from bodies like NIOSH and CSA. The G3000 meets EN 397:2012+A1:2012. The SecureFit H-701SFR-UV meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type 1 Class G and Class E. The Aura 9332+ respirator carries FFP3 certification under EN 149, which means it filters at least 99% of airborne particles. Those certifications are not marketing labels. They are the result of independent testing that most budget PPE brands never attempt.

3M Product Range at Hacsons

We stock four main 3M product families covering head protection, eye protection, hearing protection and respiratory protection. If you are comparing PPE across brands, our MSA range covers V-Gard GREEN hard hats with biobased shells while our JSP line handles EVO2 and EVO VISTALENS helmets for general industrial use.

3M G3000 HARD HAT (₨5,500) - Model G3000CUVWPRO1. ABS shell with large-area distributed ventilation holes that reduce heat buildup during extended use. The integrated Uvicator sensor disc changes colour from red to white when UV exposure has degraded the shell. The pinlock suspension system with PVC-coated foam sweatband keeps the helmet stable and comfortable. The 180-degree rotatable head harness improves visibility when working in confined spaces. The short peak design enhances upward visibility and the softly rounded shell reduces snagging on cables or branches. Fit range is 53 to 62 cm. Meets EN 397:2012+A1:2012. Available in white and yellow. Best for construction, agriculture, industrial maintenance and any outdoor work where heat buildup is a concern.

3M SECUREFIT H-701SFR-UV HARD HAT (₨6,000) - Model H-701SFR-UV. Non-vented cap-style safety helmet with 3M's patented Pressure Diffusion Ratchet Suspension. The suspension automatically adjusts as it is tightened and reduces forehead pressure by up to 30% compared to standard suspensions. The SecureFit low-profile design positions the helmet lower on the head for improved stability and balance. The integrated Uvicator sensor changes colour from red to white when UV exposure has degraded the shell. The ratchet suspension supports head sizes from 50 to 64 cm with multiple height and head-shape adjustment levels. The moisture-wicking sweatband is washable and replaceable. Accessory slots accept faceshields, earmuffs and other protective attachments. Meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type 1 Class G and Class E. Available in white and yellow. Best for industrial maintenance, construction, utilities and any workplace where electrical insulation and comfort are both priorities.

3M AURA 9332+ FFP3 RESPIRATOR - The Aura 9300+ Series uses an ergonomic flat-fold 3-panel design that allows greater facial movement than traditional cup-shaped masks. The sculpted upper panel conforms to the nose and contours of the face for an effective seal. The embossed top panel helps reduce eyewear fogging. The low-resistance filter media helps you breathe easily during extended wear. The 3M Cool Flow Valve reduces heat and moisture buildup inside the mask. Colour-coded headbands make it easy to identify protection levels. The 9332+ carries FFP3 certification under EN 149, which means it filters at least 99% of airborne particles. The mask contains at least 25% recycled content and the packaging uses recycled materials. Best for dusty environments, welding fumes, pharmaceutical manufacturing and any workplace where fine particulate protection is required.

3M PELTOR EARMUFFS - The PELTOR range covers passive earmuffs for moderate to high-noise environments. The Optime 98 H9A overhead model provides 25 dB NRR with a stainless steel headband for consistent force. The Optime 105 H10A delivers higher attenuation for very loud environments. The H9P3E cap-mount model clips directly onto compatible hard hats, which means workers do not need to juggle two separate pieces of equipment. All models use soft foam cushions that seal comfortably against the ear without excessive pressure. You will find these products alongside our full Head Protection and Respirator categories, which cover everything from hard hats and bump caps to disposable masks and reusable half-face respirators across multiple brands.
