Description 99.97% Filtration effectiveness against oil & non-oil based particulates 3M™ Combination Cartridges/P100 Particulate Filters: Filters particulates, gases and vapors. Different combination particulate/cartridge filters are used depending on the gas or vapor present in the air. The cartridge may be used for vapor concentrations up to 10 times the PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) Respirators must fit tight, and create a COMPLETE seal Bearded users must be clean shaven to achieve a complete seal What the heck does P100 mean? Respirators are given rating based on the type and efficiency of filtering substances. There are a number of ratings, each starting with a letter to designate it’s effectiveness of oil. N – NOT resistant against oil or oil-based particles R – SOMEWHAT resistant to oil-based particles P – STRONGLY resistant to oil-based particulates That letter is than appended with a number (95, 99 or 100) to represent how effective the mask/cartridges filters particulates. Some examples include: N95 – Filters at least 95% of particulates, NOT resistant to oil. R95 – Filters at least 95% of particulates, SOMEWHAT resistant to oil. P99 – Filters at least 99% of particulates, STRONGLY resistant to oil. P100 – Filters at least 99.97% of particulates, STRONGLY resistant to oil. 3M Offers a variety of filter cartridges for use with many 3M Reusable Respirators: SKU: 60921 – Organic Vapor Cartridges – Protects against: Organic Vapors SKU: 60922 – Acid Gas Cartridges – Protects against: Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide SKU: 60923 – Organic Vapor / Acid Gas Cartridges – Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Fluoride, Hydrogen Sulfide, Organic Vapors, Sulfur Dioxide SKU: 60924 – Ammonia Methylamine Cartridges – Ammonia, Methylamine SKU: 60925 – Formaldehyde/Organic Vapor Cartridges – Formaldehyde, Organic Vapors SKU: 60926 – Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridges – Ammonia, Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Formaldehyde, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Fluoride, Hydrogen Sulfide, Methylamine, Organic Vapors, Sulfur Dioxide Recommended applications for the cartridge/filter include chemical clean-up, chemical compounding, chemical transfer, laboratories, and pesticide application.
