Installation of the North Respiratory Cartridge on Protection Mask

Correct installation guarantees perfect sealing and optimal protection against organic vapors. Regularly check the fit of the mask to maintain maximum safety.

Maintenance of North Respiratory Cartridges Against Organic Vapors

 Studies have shown that in the case of mixtures of contaminants, all contaminants are absorbed simultaneously 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 container or hermetic bag since they absorb contaminants in the air even if they are not worn. The cartridges are disposable, so there is no maintenance. It is recommended to respect the limits established by the manufacturer.

Usage Tips for North Cartridges for Respiratory Protection

 Use the North organic vapor cartridge only in environments where the concentration of contaminants respects the permitted exposure limits. Make sure the mask is properly adjusted before each use and replace the cartridges as soon as you notice increased breathing resistance or a smell of contaminants. These tips guarantee optimal respiratory protection.
