Technical features of the 3M combined cartridge

This 3M cartridge model is specially designed to filter specific gases such as ammonia and methylamine. It is a high-performance chemical filtration device, suitable for half-masks and full-face respirators. Its lightweight and ergonomic design allows for prolonged use without discomfort. The cartridge is color-coded according to NIOSH standards for quick and safe identification.

Easy installation on 3M respirators from the 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series

 To install the 3M combined cartridge, simply clip it onto the side connectors of the compatible respirator mask. Make sure the cartridges are securely attached and airtight before use. This quick installation saves time while ensuring immediate protection against toxic gases.

Application of the 3M Combined Cartridge

 This type of cartridge is ideal for work in chemical and agri-food industries, laboratories, and agriculture. The filter in this cartridge provides protection against solid particles released into the air. It is also effective against liquid particles from oily aerosols. They offer reliable protection against aerosol particles that may contain oil, radioactive particles (uranium and plutonium), heavy metal particles (lead, cadmium, arsenic), low-level asbestos, and carcinogenic particles (4,4’-methylenedianiline (MDA)). This type of cartridge must not be used on a mask in an environment exceeding a concentration greater than 10 times the permissible exposure limit set by the CNESST.

WARNING: This type of cartridge does not protect against carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). If these gases may be present in your work environment, other protective measures must be taken.

Biological Particles

These cartridges 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 strains (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, they cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, pathology, or disease. Of course, when protection is needed only against biological particles, this type of equipment is not recommended. 3M’s P100 cartridges are designed for workers who may need protection from biological particles in addition to certain gases and/or vapors and airborne particles.

Restrictions of the 3M Combined Cartridge

Do not use if the user has a beard or suffers from a condition that may prevent direct contact between the mask edge and the face. It is not recommended to use these cartridges if there is a concentration of gases and vapors above the permissible limit. Do not use when particles are released during sandblasting and aerosol concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit set by the CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. This type of respiratory protection cartridge should only be used in areas that do not present a risk of oxygen deficiency.

Maintenance and Lifespan of Respiratory Protection Cartridges

Studies have shown that, in the case of contaminant mixtures, all contaminants are simultaneously absorbed on the surface of the carbon. When there is no more space, the most volatile solvent “breaks” the cartridge. If the cartridges have not reached their saturation limit, they are reusable. It is advisable to store them in a sealed container or bag, since they absorb contaminants from the air even when not worn. The cartridges are disposable, so there is no maintenance. In principle, if it becomes difficult to breathe while wearing this type of cartridge, the filter part of the cartridge is saturated and must be replaced. Additionally, if you can smell and/or taste the contaminants you are protecting yourself from, the activated carbon cartridge part is saturated (“broken”), and the cartridge must also be replaced at that time. It is recommended to follow the limits established by the manufacturer.

Usage Tips for Maximum Safety

Use 3M combined cartridges only in well-ventilated environments and within recommended exposure limits. Always check the compatibility of the mask and cartridges before each operation. Wear respiratory protection equipment upon entering a contaminated area and remove it only after leaving the hazardous environment. Follow safety instructions and internal protocols for optimal use.

FAQ – 3M Combined Cartridges for Ammonia and Methylamine

What is the lifespan of a 3M cartridge for ammonia and methylamine?

 The lifespan depends on the concentration of gases and frequency of use. It is advisable to replace the cartridge as soon as odors become noticeable or according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Is this cartridge compatible with all 3M masks?

It is compatible with 3M respirators from the 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series. Always verify compatibility before use.

Can this cartridge be used for gases other than ammonia and methylamine?

 No, this cartridge is specifically designed to filter ammonia and methylamine. For other substances, use a cartridge suited to the targeted gases.
