There are only fewer documents and photos proving that the mask was used in the industry than about the 67M. The mask was issued to the army as well, but it was more for like storing, the masks were never used by the army because the MN always had enough 60M and 70M masks. Magyar Néphadsereg (Hungarian People's Army) Important factories also stored these masks alongside with other equipment (like ERBVCS) and certain workers were trained what to do in case of a war (non-registered members of the Civil Defence).
The civilians would have been only given the kit but the registered and non-registered members of the Polgárivédelem were also issued with a Védőmunkaruha (protective work suit, made out of thick canvas, it gave minor protection against toxic agents) or a 75M összfegyvernemi védőkészlet (joint service general purpose personal protective equipment). Size 1 is the smallest and 4 is the biggest, size 0 was meant for children but was produced in very small numbers. Just like on the 67M, the 40mm GOST intake and the intake valve is placed above the exhale valves.

Unlike other, earlier models of the rubber-coated canvas mask series in Hungary this one got a double, disc exhale valve instead of the old "tulip". The valves are placed in one black oval bakelite piece. There is a carrying strap on the bottom back of the mask and a chinstrap inside as well. The third part near the bottom would be wrapped behind the neck of the user and hooked to the left side of the mask to provide a tight seal and to prevent accidentally taking off the mask. On the nape the temple straps and the strap of the roller frame are hooked up to a metal piece which is riveted to a leather pressure equalizer rectangle. The middle forehead straps is hooked over a metal roller frame and sewn to the outer forehead straps, so these can slide freely and automatically adjusts to the shape of the head. Elastication is done by rubber bands in each strap. The 7 pointed, adjustable and elasticated harness is composed of three pieces and connected to the facepiece trough adjuster buckles, which are sewn to the facepiece. The glasses are crimped to steel alloy assemblies which are pressed to the faceblank permanently, like on the 67M but without anti-fogging insert fixing rings (there are masks with 67M like lenses, those are believed to be retrofitted 67M masks because, save for the valve housing everything is the same as on a normal 67M).
It seals on the face via 4cm wide goat leather stitched to a rubber-coated canvas verge and folded out to the outside of the mask, but the stitching is sealed inside with rubber cement.

It is a full face mask made of a single sheet of rubber-coated dark green canvas formed by 3 seams, 2 on the forehead and one on the chin.
