3M™ 6005 Formaldehyde/Organic Vapour Cartridge

The 3M™ 6005 cartridge is engineered to remove formaldehyde and organic vapours from the breathing air of workers using compatible 3M reusable respirators. Its specially treated sorbent makes it a dependable choice wherever formaldehyde exposure is a concern.

Product overview

The 6005 attaches to 3M™ 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series facepieces via the standard bayonet connection. It is purpose-built for environments where formaldehyde, a hazard that ordinary organic-vapour cartridges may not adequately capture, is present alongside other organic vapours.

Key features and benefits

• Formaldehyde protection: treated carbon specifically captures formaldehyde as well as general organic vapours.
• Bayonet mount: fast, secure fit on 3M 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series respirators.
• Lightweight and balanced: reduces strain during extended wear.
• Pairs with pre-filters: can be combined with 3M particulate filters for added dust protection.

Typical applications

The 6005 is widely used in laboratories, anatomy and pathology departments, embalming, histology, resin and adhesive processing, and other settings where formaldehyde or organic solvent vapours are released.

Frequently asked questions

Why use the 6005 instead of a standard organic-vapour cartridge?
The 6005 uses sorbent specifically treated to capture formaldehyde, which standard organic-vapour cartridges may not retain effectively.

Which respirators accept the 6005?
It fits 3M 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series reusable respirators using the standard bayonet connection.

Can I add particulate protection?
Yes. The 6005 can be paired with 3M particulate filters and retainers when dust or aerosol protection is also required.
