North NIOSH approved for organic vapors, active charcoal cartridge

North respiratory protection cartridge against organic vapors

North manufacturer code: 7581P100L

This North respiratory protection cartridge is designed to filter organic vapors and ensure maximum safety. Its compatibility with North respirators 5400, 7600 and 7700 makes it an ideal choice for professionals exposed to contaminants. This type of cartridge has two inseparable parts, a P100 filter to capture particles in the air and an activated carbon cartridge to absorb vapors and gases.

The filter located in the upper part of the combined cartridge is P100 certified, so it captures particles in the ambient air with 99.97% efficiency. The letter “P” means “oil proof,” which indicates that the filtration membrane resists particles containing oil.

This filter also offers protection against solid particles released into the air and liquid particles from oily and non-oily aerosols. The activated carbon located in the lower part of the cartridge is in fact one of the most economical and effective air purification methods on the market.

The 60921 cartridges have been specifically designed to protect workers from organic vapors such as xylene, benzene, spray paint, pesticides and a myriad of other industrial solvents.

Particularities of the combined North cartridge for respirators

The combined North cartridge stands out for its ability to effectively filter organic vapors and certain harmful gases. Sold as a pair, it offers prolonged use and a perfect fit on North respirators, guaranteeing comfort and safety.

Installation of the combined North cartridge on respirators

Installing the combined cartridge against organic vapors North is simple. Just attach the cartridge to the compatible respirator of the 5400, 7600 or 7700 series. Correct installation ensures perfect sealing and optimal respiratory protection.

Maintenance of the combined cartridge against organic vapors North

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 airtight bag since they absorb contaminants in the air even if they are not worn. The cartridges are disposable, so there is no maintenance. In principle, if it is difficult to breathe when wearing this type of cartridge, the filter part of the cartridge is saturated, so the cartridges must be changed. On the other hand, if you can smell and/or taste the contaminants you are protecting yourself from, the activated carbon cartridge part is saturated (broken), so the cartridge must also be changed at that time. It is recommended to follow the limits established by the manufacturer.

Instructions for use of the combined North cartridge

Use the combined cartridge against organic vapors only with North respirators 5400, 7600 and 7700. Follow the safety instructions and make sure it is correctly installed before each use. Replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure optimal protection.

Biological particles

This type of cartridge can help reduce inhalation exposure to certain airborne biological particles such as molds, Bacillus anthracis (anthrax disease), 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 this type of respiratory protection 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 concentrations of aerosols higher than 10 times the permissible exposure limit by the CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. This type of cartridge must only be used in places that do not present a risk of oxygen deficiency.

FAQ combined cartridge against organic vapors North

Does the combined North cartridge protect only against organic vapors?

Can the combined North cartridge be used in a paint or solvent workshop?

 Yes, this cartridge is suitable for environments where solvents, paints and chemical products emitting organic vapors are found, provided it is installed on a North respirator compatible with the 5400, 7600 or 7700 series.

Is the combined cartridge against organic vapors North reusable?

 It can be used several times as long as it is not saturated. However, it is recommended to replace it regularly to ensure optimal respiratory protection and avoid any exposure to contaminants.
