The 3M™ Gas and Vapour Filter 6098 contains activated carbon and conforms to EN 14387. It is designed to be used with 3M Full Face respirators only. The filter can provide protection against low boiling point (<650 C) organic compounds and particulates.

Main Features

• Good balance of weight on face.
• Excellent field of vision as a result of unique trapezoidal shape.
• Bayonet fitting ensures precise & safer locking to 3M Full Face respirators.

Applications

3M™ Gas and Vapour Cartridge 6098 is a unique filter cartridge that is able to offer protection from low boiling point (<650 C) organic vapors as well as solid particulate contaminants such as dust, oil mist, and metal fumes. The high-efficiency P3 Particle Filter built into this product is designed for a maximum length of service and ease of maintenance. They can be installed easily, with one person, in less than five minutes!

Storage and Transportation.

Do not store outside the temperature range -10°C to +50°C or with humidity above 90%. When stored as stated, the expected shelf life of the product is 5 years from the date of manufacture. The end of shelf life (use-by) date is marked on the product and packaging. The original packaging is suitable for transporting the product. Better still, 3M assigns a unique part number on each unit, so when the gas- and vapor-tight package is penetrated, its contents are tracked back to an individual part number. That's only one more way 3M helps you get it right - from first use to the final disposal.
