Manufacturer code North: 7580P100

The P100 filter for North protection mask is specially designed to provide an effective barrier against solid and liquid particles. Thanks to its NIOSH certification, it meets the strictest standards in respiratory safety. This product is sold in pairs, which allows prolonged and economical use. Whether you work in a workshop, on a construction site or in an environment with high dust concentration, this filter is the ideal solution to protect your lungs.

It is certified P100, so it captures both solid and liquid particles in the ambient air with 99.97% efficiency. The letter “P” means “oil proof,” which indicates that the filtration membrane resists oily particles very well while protecting against non-oily particles. These filters contain no natural rubber latex.

Maximum safety for demanding professionals and individuals.

• Compact Design: Its low-profile engineering allows for an unobstructed field of vision and fits easily under protective face shields.

• Extreme Versatility: Fully compatible with all North 5500, 7700, and RU8500 series half-masks and full facepieces.

• Secure Connection: Features a simple threaded system for quick installation and a guaranteed airtight seal.

• Certified Protection: Ideal for handling asbestos, lead, wood dust, and paint mists.

Particularities of the P100 filter approved by NIOSH

This P100 North filter stands out for its exceptional filtration capacity, blocking 99.97% of harmful particles. It is compatible with several models of North respiratory masks, including series 5400, 7600 and 7700. Its robust and reliable design ensures long service life and consistent performance, even in difficult conditions. These filters provide protection against solid particles and liquid particles from oily aerosols that do not release any harmful vapor.

They provide reliable protection against aerosol particles that may contain oil, radioactive particles (uranium and plutonium), heavy metal particles (lead, cadmium, arsenic), asbestos in small quantities and carcinogenic particles (4,4’ methylenedianiline (MDA)). This type of filter should not be used on a mask in an environment exceeding a concentration greater than 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST.

How to install the P100 filter on a North mask

Installing the P100 North filter is simple and quick. Just attach each filter to the designated connectors of the North respiratory mask series 5400, 7600 or 7700. Make sure the filter is properly engaged to ensure perfect sealing and optimal respiratory protection. This intuitive installation makes it easy to replace worn filters with a new pair.

Maintenance and Replacement: Honeywell North P100 Filter

The Honeywell North P100 filter (RN7580P100) provides 99.97% filtration efficiency against all particulate aerosols. To ensure optimal service life, please follow these safety guidelines:

• Breathing Resistance: Replace the filters as soon as you notice an increase in inhalation resistance. This indicates the filter media is saturated with dust or aerosols.

• Physical Integrity: Inspect your filters before each shift. Any sign of tears, punctures, or heavy moisture requires an immediate replacement of the pair.

• Compatibility: These filters are designed for use with North/Honeywell 5500, 7700, and RU8500 series respirators.

Sylprotec Pro Tip: To extend the life of your equipment, always store your respirator and filters in a sealed container or an airtight bag when not in use to prevent dust accumulation on the filter surface.

Usage tips for the P100 North filter

 Always use the P100 North filter with a compatible respiratory mask to ensure optimal safety. Follow the replacement instructions provided by the manufacturer and adapt the use of the filter according to the work environment. This product is particularly recommended for industrial environments, paint workshops, construction sites and any activity generating dust or fine particles.

Biological particles:

 This type of filter can help reduce inhalation exposure to certain airborne biological particles such as molds, Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Koch’s bacillus) responsible for tuberculosis, pandemic flu (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, it cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, pathology or disease. Because of the nature of certain biological contaminants, government agencies have not been able to determine exposure limits for all types of contaminants.

Restriction:

Do not use if the user has a beard or suffers from a condition likely to prevent direct contact between the edge of the mask and the face. It is not recommended to use these filters if there is a concentration higher than the permitted limit of gases and vapors. Do not use also when there are particles released during sandblasting and aerosol concentrations higher than 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. This type of respiratory protection filter should only be used in places that do not present a risk of oxygen deficiency.

FAQ about the P100 North filter

What is the lifespan of a P100 North filter?

 The lifespan depends on the work environment and particle concentration. It is recommended to replace the filter as soon as it becomes difficult to breathe or shows signs of saturation.

Is the P100 North filter compatible with all masks?

 No, it is designed for North respiratory masks series 5400, 7600 and 7700.

Does the P100 filter protect against chemical vapors?

 This filter is mainly intended for protection against solid and liquid particles. For chemical vapors, it is necessary to use specific cartridges adapted to the type of contaminant.
