The 3M Organic Vapor Cartridge 6001 delivers professional-grade respiratory protection against certain organic vapors in demanding industrial environments. This NIOSH-approved cartridge features 3M's signature swept-back design that enhances field of view and comfort while maintaining superior protection performance.
Engineered with activated carbon technology, the 6001 cartridge effectively filters organic vapors through advanced adsorption, providing reliable protection for vapor concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) with half facepieces or 50 times PEL with quantitatively fit-tested full facepieces. The cartridge has been assigned the NIOSH color code "black" for easy identification and compliance with safety standards.
The bayonet-style connection ensures quick and secure installation with a simple quarter-turn mechanism, making it compatible with multiple 3M respirator series including 6000, 7000, and FF-400 Series half and full facepieces. This wide compatibility reduces inventory requirements and simplifies training protocols across diverse workplace applications.
Recommended for use in industries including chemicals, construction, oil and gas, transportation, electronics, and manufacturing, the 6001 cartridge excels in applications such as painting, parts cleaning, chemical dispensing, batch-charging, and seal coating operations. The low-profile design optimizes breathing comfort while maintaining excellent durability for extended use periods.
For workplace and occupational use only, this cartridge must be replaced according to established change-out schedules based on exposure conditions, concentration levels, and breathing patterns. 3M's Service Life Calculator and monitoring tools help establish appropriate replacement intervals to ensure continuous protection effectiveness.
