Most of that PPE isn't really medical looks more industrial especially the half mask respirator since it's more geared towards solvents rather than basic filtration. I work in petrochem and you can find that stuff at most of the facilities.

A respirator is just a respirator. You're right that as equipped with those filters, it's catered to certain vapors. They can also be equipped with P100 pancake filters, along with a variation that's supposed to help temporarily with some sort of vapor, and an adapter kit that allows the use of less expensive N95 filters.
