3M™ 6001 / 6001i Organic Vapour Cartridge

The 3M™ 6001 is one of the most widely used organic vapour cartridges, protecting workers against a broad range of solvent vapours. The 6001i variant adds individual wrapping for cleaner storage and handling.

Product overview

The 6001 fits 3M 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series reusable respirators via the standard bayonet connection. Its activated-carbon bed adsorbs common organic vapours, making it a versatile choice for painting, cleaning and general chemical work. The 6001i is the individually wrapped version of the same cartridge.
