3M 60926 Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge

These cartridges are fantastic. All you have to do is view the list of chemicals and metals it filters out of the air in a 1/2 have face mask. Communication is difficult in this type of respirator. There should be N99 R99 and P99 respirators available, but there are not. I have been reusing R95's for months now and I can't seem to get real NIOSH rated N95's. These cartridges work because I performed QLFT and a QNFT. No vapors get into this mask at all with these cartridges. If you smell something in the mask, the filters are not correct or you’re not using the mask correctly. Acquire training. Contact supervision to be retrained. Grinding silica dust, metal railings, welding metal fumes on numerous dangerous coatings and chemicals are filtered by these cartridges, not all chemicals or all metal fumes in all atmospheres. You must read the limitations of the respirator and a Qualified Person should make the determination of what level of protection is needed. Follow manufacturer's specifications for all parts of a respirator and you must be clean shaven. You may need an airline respirator depending on the Assigned Protection Factor and other atmospheric conditions like oxygen deficiency. As an inspector who comes in contact with everything, this product is the best. I have 3M Organic Vapor cartridges ready to go, but I am waiting for a very long time for the replacement filters. These cartridges came exactly when my last set broke. The filters gotten too wet rendering them unusable. Thank you for the timely service. I'll be back again.
