3M 6001 Organic Vapour Cartridge (for 6000 & 7500 Series Respirators)

The 3M 6001 cartridge is a genuine organic-vapour (OV) gas cartridge for 3M 6000 and 7500 Series reusable respirators. Filled with activated carbon, it adsorbs organic-vapour gases from solvents, paints and many chemicals, so workers are protected against vapour hazards when the right cartridge is fitted.

Product overview

The 6001 connects to the 3M bayonet ports on a half- or full-face respirator. Because it targets organic vapours specifically, it is the right choice for solvent-based painting, degreasing and similar tasks. Cartridges are consumable, so you replace them on a change-out schedule or as soon as you detect the taste or smell of the contaminant.
