North P100 filter for respirators, NIOSH approved

Discover the P100 North filter approved by NIOSH, designed to provide optimal respiratory protection against fine particles, dust and hazardous contaminants.

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.

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.

How to maintain the P100 filter for respiratory mask

 The filters are disposable, so there is no maintenance. They were designed to have a lifespan estimated at 40 hours or 30 days. These figures are for informational purposes only and should in no case be the only tool for estimating the lifespan of your filters. Since each work environment is different, it is important to respect the limits established by the manufacturer.

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.
