The MSA Advantage 815355 Organic Vapor Cartridge is a NIOSH-approved GMA cartridge designed for use with compatible MSA Advantage reusable respirators in workplaces where certain organic vapor exposures are present.
This 2-pack of MSA Advantage organic vapor cartridges uses a bayonet-style connection that locks into compatible MSA facepieces with a simple twist. The low-profile design helps improve visibility, balance, and comfort during painting, coating, solvent handling, chemical processing, industrial maintenance, and manufacturing applications where organic vapor respiratory protection is required.
The MSA 815355 cartridge is compatible with MSA Advantage 200 LS, 420, 1000, 3000, and 4000 Series respirators. It is an organic vapor cartridge only and does not provide particulate protection by itself. For paint spray, sanding, grinding, welding fumes, dust, mist, or combined vapor/particulate hazards, select the appropriate MSA combination cartridge or filter setup based on your respiratory protection program.

Safety Note
Respirator cartridges must be selected based on the specific contaminant, concentration, exposure limit, facepiece type, fit testing, cartridge service life, and workplace respiratory protection program. Organic vapor cartridges require a cartridge change-out schedule unless an approved end-of-service-life indicator is used. Do not use these cartridges for oxygen-deficient environments, IDLH atmospheres, unknown contaminants, particulates, acid gases, ammonia, methylamine, or formaldehyde unless the cartridge is specifically approved for that hazard.

Buying Guide: Organic Vapor Cartridge vs. OV/P100 Combination Cartridge
Choose the MSA 815355 organic vapor cartridge when the hazard is limited to certain organic vapors and particulate protection is not required.
Choose an OV/P100 combination cartridge when workers are exposed to both organic vapors and particulates, such as paint mist, sanding dust, grinding particles, or certain mixed industrial exposures.
Choose a different cartridge type for acid gases, ammonia, methylamine, formaldehyde, mercury vapor, or multi-gas applications. Cartridge selection should always match the specific hazard.
FAQ
What does the MSA 815355 cartridge protect against?
The MSA 815355 is an organic vapor cartridge designed for certain organic vapor exposures when used with compatible MSA Advantage respirators.
Does this cartridge protect against dust or particulates?
No. This cartridge does not provide particulate protection by itself. Use an approved particulate filter or combination cartridge when dust, mist, fumes, or particles are present.
Which respirators are compatible with this cartridge?
It is compatible with MSA Advantage 200 LS, 420, 1000, 3000, and 4000 Series respirators.
How many cartridges are included?
Each pack includes 2 cartridges.
How often should organic vapor cartridges be replaced?
Replacement depends on the contaminant, concentration, humidity, breathing rate, work conditions, and your cartridge change-out schedule. Do not rely only on odor, taste, or irritation as the replacement method.
Can this be used for spray painting?
Only if the exposure is limited to organic vapors. Many spray painting applications also involve particulates or paint mist, which may require an OV/P100 combination cartridge or additional approved filter setup.
