Combined cartridge organic vapours acid gases other gases

Combination cartridge against organic vapor/acid gas/multi-gas for respirators series 5400, 7600 & 7700.

 North manufacturer code: 75SCP100L

This type of cartridge has two inseparable parts, a P100 filter to capture airborne particles and an activated carbon cartridge to absorb vapors and gases. The filter located in the upper part of the combination cartridge is P100 certified, so it captures airborne particles with 99.97% efficiency. The letter “P” means “oil proof,” which indicates that the filtration membrane resists particles containing oil. This filter also provides protection against solid particles released into the air and liquid particles from oil-based and non-oil 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 60926 cartridges have been designed to protect workers from acid gases and organic vapors. In fact, this “multi-gas” cartridge protects against chlorine, chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ammonia (NH₃), methylamine (CH₃NH₂) and formaldehyde (CH₂O).

Note that acid gas cartridges can only protect you for a very limited time from hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). Without proper equipment, H₂S is deadly. These cartridges will protect you if you are forced to evacuate following a hydrogen sulfide release. The cartridges must be discarded immediately after exposure.

This North multi-gas and P100 cartridge combines two filtration systems: a P100 filter for particles and activated carbon for gases and vapors. It is designed to protect workers exposed to various industrial contaminants, ensuring comfort and safety.

Compliant with NIOSH standards, it provides optimal respiratory protection in high-risk environments.

North Respiratory Protection Cartridge – Features and Advantages

The North multi-gas and P100 cartridge stands out for its ability to filter a wide range of contaminants. The P100 filter captures solid and liquid particles, including oil-based aerosols, while the activated carbon absorbs dangerous gases and vapors. Its robust and durable design makes it a reliable choice for professionals. Sold in pairs, it is ideal for regular and economical use.

This type of cartridge is ideal for work in chemical, petrochemical and mining industries as well as in metal production. The filter of this cartridge provides protection against solid particles released into the air. It is also effective against liquid particles from oil-based aerosols.

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 cartridge must not be used on a mask in an environment exceeding a concentration greater than 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST.

WARNING: This type of cartridge does not protect against carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). If there is a possibility of these gases being present in your work environment, other means of protection must be used.

Installation of the North Combination Multi-Gas and P100 Cartridge

Installation is simple: just attach the cartridge to the compatible respirator following the manufacturer’s instructions. A perfect seal is essential to ensure effective respiratory protection. Always check that the cartridge is properly engaged before use.

Maintenance of the North Multi-Gas and P100 Cartridge

Studies have shown that in the case of contaminant mixtures, all contaminants are absorbed simultaneously on the surface of the carbon. When there is no more space, the most volatile solvent “breaks through” 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 when not worn.

The cartridges are disposable, so there is no maintenance. In principle, if it becomes difficult to breathe while 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 through), so the cartridge must also be changed at that time. It is recommended to follow the limits established by the manufacturer.

Usage Advice for the North Multi-Gas and P100 Cartridge

Use this cartridge only in suitable environments, particularly those exposed to harmful gases, vapors and particles. Make sure the respirator is properly adjusted and that the seal is perfect. Respect the recommended service life and replace the cartridges regularly to maintain optimal protection.

Biological Particles:

 These cartridges 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 viruses (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, they cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, disease or illness. Of course, when protection is needed only against biological particles, this type of equipment is not recommended. North P100 cartridges have been designed for workers who may need to protect themselves against biological particles in addition to certain gases and/or vapors and airborne particles.

Restrictions:

 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 cartridges if there is a concentration above the permitted limit of gases and vapors. Do not use also when particles are released during sandblasting and aerosol concentrations exceed 10 times the exposure limit allowed by CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. This type of respiratory protection cartridge must only be used in areas that do not present a risk of oxygen deficiency.
