5N11, N95 NIOSH approved filter for 3M 6000 series cartridges

N95 Filter for 3M 6000 Series Cartridges

This filter must be attached to a cartridge using the 3M R501 retainer (cartridge and retainer not included).

Designed to integrate with the 3M R501 retainer system, the N95 R5N11 filter is intended for use with 6000 series cartridges. It effectively filters solid and liquid non-oily particles such as dust, biological aerosols, and mists. This filter is compatible with several 3M respirator models, including the 6000, 6500, 7500, 7800S, FF-400 series, and welding masks. It is sold in boxes of 10 units, making it an economical and practical solution for high-risk environments.

Specifications of the N95 Filter for 3M Respirators

This N95 filter is certified under NIOSH standard 42 CFR 84, guaranteeing 95% filtration of non-oily particles. It is designed to be used exclusively with the 501 retainers, which securely attaches it to 6000 series cartridges. Its electrostatic membrane ensures low breathing resistance while maintaining optimal efficiency. This model is particularly recommended for painting, varnishing, chemical processing, and medical environments where protection against biological agents is essential.

Installing the N95 Filter on 6000 Cartridges With the 501 Retainer

To install the N95 filter, first position it on the 3M 6000 series cartridge, then secure it using the 501 retainers. The assembly must be properly locked to ensure a perfect seal. This configuration allows the filter to be used in combination with the cartridge, providing dual protection against gases, vapors, and particles. It is essential to verify compatibility with the respirator used to ensure protection that meets standards.

Application of the N95 Filter

This type of filter is recommended for tasks such as non-oily pesticide spraying, agriculture, aerosol painting, varnishing, petrochemical and chemical manufacturing, paper processing, boat building, and laboratory work.

Biological Particles

These filters can help reduce inhalation exposure to certain airborne biological particles, such as mold, Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Koch’s bacillus) responsible for tuberculosis, pandemic flu viruses (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, they cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, disease, or illness. Due to the nature of certain biological contaminants, government agencies have not been able to determine exposure limits for all types of contaminants.

Restrictions of the N95 Filter

Do not use if the wearer has a beard or suffers from a condition that prevents direct contact between the mask edge and the face. These filters should not be used in the presence of concentrations exceeding the permissible limits of gases and vapors. Do not use when particles are released during sandblasting or when aerosol concentrations exceed 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. These respiratory protection filters should only be used in areas that do not present an oxygen deficiency risk.

Maintenance and Replacement of the N95 Filter for 3M Respirators

This filter is disposable and requires no maintenance. Its lifespan depends on how it is used. If the filter surface is damaged or breathing becomes difficult, it is time to replace the filter. Since each work environment is different, it is important to respect the limits established by the manufacturer.

Usage Tips for the N95 Filter In Professional Environments

This N95 filter must not be used in atmospheres containing gases or vapors beyond the limits allowed by the cartridges. It is not recommended in oxygen-deficient environments or in the presence of high aerosol concentrations. For maximum efficiency, the wearer must be clean-shaven to ensure a proper mask seal. This filter is particularly suitable for industrial environments, laboratories, paint shops, and chemical processing areas where particle protection is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions about the N95 Filter for 3M 6000 Series Cartridges

Does the N95 filter protect against viruses such as flu or tuberculosis?

Yes, this filter can reduce exposure to certain biological agents such as H1N1, H5N1 viruses, Bacillus anthracis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis when used with a properly fitted mask.

Is this filter suitable for painting and varnishing work?

It is perfectly suited for aerosol painting, varnishing, and chemical manufacturing environments, provided it is used with the appropriate cartridges and the R501 retainer.
