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.
Limitations on the use of these filters may differ among countries. 3M recommends the following should be applied in the absence of specific recommendations in South Africa.
