Organic Vapour Mercury Particulate Filter Pair

These cartridges are designed as replacement filters for respiratory protection systems, combining multiple filtration technologies in a single unit. They are constructed to capture gaseous contaminants as well as fine solid particles suspended in the air. The white colour allows for easy visual inspection of soiling or saturation during use. Each pair is intended for attachment to approved mask facepieces via standard threading.

The filter provides defence against a range of organic vapour compounds commonly found in industrial settings, including solvents and fumes. It also incorporates specific media to adsorb mercury vapour, a toxic substance requiring specialised capture. Additionally, the particulate layer traps dust, mists and other non-oil-based aerosols to prevent inhalation. This multi-threat protection makes it suitable for environments where mixed hazards are present.

Typical applications include chemical handling, laboratory work, maintenance in contaminated areas and certain manufacturing processes involving volatile substances. The filters are compatible with half face masks models 5500 and 7700, as well as the full face mask model 7600, ensuring a secure seal when properly fitted. Users must monitor for signs of breakthrough such as unusual odour, taste or respiratory irritation, which indicate the need for immediate replacement. Environmental factors like heat, humidity and exertion can influence service life and should be considered during use.

• Combines organic vapour, mercury and particulate filtration in one cartridge
• White colour enables visual monitoring for contamination or saturation
• Designed for use with 5500, 7700 half face and 7600 full face masks
• Replace immediately if contaminant is detected by smell, taste or irritation
