3M 6007 Mercury Vapor, Organic Vapor and Acid Gas Cartridges
The 3M 6007 cartridge provides gas and vapor protection in approved 3M reusable respirator configurations. Its listed contaminants include mercury vapor, chlorine, sulfur dioxide, certain organic vapors, and hydrogen sulfide. This two-cartridge pack uses a bayonet connection and a swept-back shape to support visibility. Select it according to the identified chemicals, measured exposure, and the complete respirator's approved use limits before work begins.
Key Features
- Defined chemical coverage: Combines mercury vapor protection with selected organic vapor and acid gas coverage.
- Bayonet attachment: Connects to compatible 3M facepieces according to their instructions.
- Swept-back shape: Helps keep the cartridges out of the forward viewing area.
- Matching pair: Supplies two cartridges for the approved respirator assembly.
- Gas and vapor format: Allows buyers to distinguish 6007 from a cartridge with integrated particulate filtration.
Applications
3M identifies chemical processing, mining, oil and gas, and primary metals as potential industries for this cartridge family.
Consider 6007 for assessed mercury vapor or other listed gas and vapor exposures during industrial operations and maintenance. The process name alone does not establish suitability.
Dust, fumes, or mist may require additional approved particulate protection. Unknown concentrations, oxygen deficiency, and immediately dangerous to life or health conditions require a different respiratory protection approach.
Compatibility and Selection
Occupational use requires medical evaluation, fit testing, training, and an appropriate respiratory protection program. Perform a user seal check each time the respirator is donned. Facial hair or other interference with the sealing surface can compromise protection.
3M's product literature lists compatible half and full facepieces in the 6000, 7000, and FF-400 families with bayonet connections. Verify the exact facepiece on its approval label before ordering; brand or connector appearance alone is insufficient.
Compare respirator cartridges and filters when the exposure includes particles or chemicals outside this cartridge's listed coverage.
FAQ
Does 6007 include a P100 filter?
No. The 6007 is a gas and vapor cartridge. The 60927 includes P100 filtration; verify its approval and suitability before substituting it.
Does acid gas mean every acid gas?
No. Confirm the specific chemical against the approval label and 3M selection guidance. Do not infer protection from the broad product category.
