3M™ Gas & Vapour Cartridge Filter, A2B2E2KHg2P3 + Formaldehyde, 6099 (Box of 2)

The 3M 6099 is a combined gas, vapour and particulate filter rated A2B2E2K2HgFormP3, for use only with 3M 6000 Series and FF-400 Series full face respirators. It is not suitable for half facepiece respirators. It protects against organic vapours with a boiling point above 65°C, inorganic and acid gases, ammonia and methylamine, mercury vapour and formaldehyde, plus all particulates, including dusts, mists and fumes.

Important: the 6099 is not for organic vapours with a boiling point below 65°C, and must not be used when spraying isocyanate-based paints. Its maximum use time against mercury vapour is 50 hours, and low boiling point organic compounds can migrate through the filter when it is not in use.

Protection levels with a 3M 6000 or FF-400 Series full face respirator

• Organic vapours (boiling point above 65°C), inorganic and acid gases, ammonia and methylamine: up to 100 x the Workplace Exposure Standard (WES) or 5000 ppm, whichever is lower
• Mercury vapour and formaldehyde: up to 50 x WES or 1000 ppm, whichever is lower
• Particles: up to 100 x WES
• Only at exposures below the IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) value

Common hazards

Organic vapours, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, methylamine, mercury vapour and formaldehyde.
