Soft North P100 NIOSH filter for respirators series 5400, 7600, 7700

North P100 Filter

Manufacturer code North: 75FFP100

This type of respiratory protection filter is made of a flame-retardant and waterproof membrane. It is certified P100, therefore 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.

This P100 filter is particularly effective in blocking at least 99.97% of airborne particles. It is recommended for environments where workers are exposed to solid or liquid contaminants, including biological particles. Thanks to its compatibility with North masks of the 5400, 7600, and 7700 series, it easily adapts to the needs of different industrial sectors.

Compatible with the following masks (sold separately):

• 5400 Series Full Face Mask (RN54001)
• North 7600 Full Face Mask with Integrated Respirator (RN7600)
• North 7700 Half Face Respirator (RN7700)

You can also find North cartridges:

• Cartridge against organic vapors/acid gases/multigas for North respirators series 5400, 7600 & 7700. (RN75SCL).
• Cartridge against organic vapors for North respiratory protection masks series 5400, 7600 & 7700. (RN75001).
• Combined cartridge against organic vapors for North respiratory protection series 5400, 7600 & 7700. (RN7581P100).
• Combined cartridge against organic vapor/acid gas/multigas for North respirators series 5400, 7600 & 7700. (RN75SCP100).
• Combined cartridge for protection against organic vapors and acid gases. (RN7583P100).

Characteristics of the North P100 Filter

 The North P100 filter stands out for its high performance and durability. Designed to withstand prolonged use, it is lightweight and easy to install on compatible masks. Its NIOSH certification guarantees compliance with the strictest safety standards.

This type of filter protects against certain metallic vapors that emanate from welding, brazing, cutting, and other activities involving heating of metal. This respirator however lets ozone pass through. These filters provide protection against solid particles released during mineral processing, iron ore, coal, flour, or certain other substances. They are also effective against liquid particles from oily aerosols not releasing harmful vapors. 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 must not be used on a mask in an environment exceeding a concentration greater than 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST.

Installation of the P100 Filter on North Masks

 To install the P100 filter, simply attach it to the North full facepiece or half mask of the 5400, 7600, or 7700 series. Proper installation ensures perfect sealing and optimal respiratory protection.

Maintenance of the North P100 Filter

The filters are disposable, therefore there is no maintenance. It was designed to have a lifespan estimated at 40 hours or else 30 days. These figures are for information 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 North P100 Filter

 For maximum efficiency, use the P100 filter only with approved North masks. Always check the sealing of the mask before starting a task and follow the safety instructions specific to your work environment.

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 flus (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, it cannot totally 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 must only be used in places not presenting a risk of oxygen deficiency.
