CARTRIDGE OV PAIR North N series, Organic Vapor Cartridge. (2/pk)

North N series cartridges are made of active charcoal which is one of the most efficient and cost-effective method of filtering contaminants in the air on the market. North 75001 cartridges have been designed to protect one from organic vapors such as xylene, benzene, spray paint, pesticides and a myriad of other industrial solvents. CAUTION: North N75001 cartridges don’t protect one from carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). If one has to work in an environment that may contain those two gases, one has to find another way to protect himself.

Use for:
This type of cartridge is ideal for chemical and petrochemical manufacturing, construction and transporation.

Do not use for:
Do not use on a beard and other facial hair or if the user suffers from a condition that prevents him from having direct contact with the respirator’s sides. One should never use a respirator regardless of the type of filter or cartridge in use whenever concentrations of gases and vapors exceed 10 times the admissible limit set by the CNESST or any other regulation applicable. Avoid sandblasting and oxygen deprevated environments (an atmosphere with less than 19,5 % oxygen).

Maintenance and service life:
Studies have shown that in case of contaminant mixture, all the vapors are absorbed simultaneously by the granulated charcoal inside the cartridges. One must take into account the presence of a contaminants mixture since the most volatile solvent will saturate the cartridge. The cartridge service life and one’s degree of protection will then depend on the concentration and the nature of the contaminants in the air.

One may store its cartridges in an airtight bag or container since even not in use, the cartridge absorbs whatever contaminant there may be in the air.

Since this is a disposable product, there is no maintenance. The manufacturer’s limitations must be followed.
