FAQ – 3M 6007 Respirator Cartridges
Q1: What hazards do 3M 6007 cartridges protect against?
These cartridges provide NIOSH-approved protection from mercury vapor, chlorine, and sulfur dioxide, commonly found in chemical processing, lab work, and industrial gas-handling environments.
Q2: What is the ESLI feature, and how does it work?
The End-of-Service-Life Indicator (ESLI) visually changes color as the mercury vapor capacity nears depletion, alerting users to replace the cartridge before exposure occurs—an important safety feature not found in standard filters.
Q3: Are these cartridges compatible with all 3M respirators?
Yes. The 3M 6007 Cartridges fit all 3M Half and Full Facepiece Respirators that use the bayonet-style connection, including the 6000, 7000, and FF-400 series.
Q4: How often should the cartridges be replaced?
Replacement depends on exposure levels and duration. However, cartridges should always be replaced when the ESLI indicates depletion, or if breathing resistance increases or odors become noticeable.
Q5: What industries commonly use the 3M 6007 Cartridges?
They are widely used in chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing, wastewater treatment, laboratory research, and metal refining, where exposure to mercury vapor and corrosive gases is prevalent.
