3M™ 6003 Organic Vapour/Acid Gas Cartridge

The 3M™ 6003 cartridge combines organic vapour and acid gas protection in one unit. It is one of the most widely used cartridges for general chemical work, covering two common hazard categories at once.

Product overview

The 6003 fits 3M™ 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series reusable respirators through the standard bayonet connection. Its dual-action sorbent captures organic vapours together with acid gases such as chlorine, hydrogen chloride and sulphur dioxide.

• Versatile: suits a wide range of solvent and acid-gas tasks.
• Bayonet mount: secure, tool-free fit on 3M 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series facepieces.
• Pairs with pre-filters: combine with 3M particulate filters when dust protection is also needed.

Typical applications

The 6003 is used in painting and coating, chemical processing, laboratories, cleaning with solvents, and maintenance tasks where both solvent vapours and acid gases may be present.
