Service Life of Chemical Cartridges and Filters

3M™ 6000 Series Chemical Cartridges should be used before the expiration date on cartridge packaging.

The useful service life of these cartridges will depend upon activity of wearer (breathing rate); specific type,

volatility and concentration of contaminants; and environmental conditions such as humidity, pressure,

and temperature. Cartridges must be replaced in accordance with an established change schedule or

earlier if smell, taste or irritation from contaminants is detected.

Filters must be replaced if they become damaged, soiled or if an increase in breathing resistance occurs.

N-series filters should not be used in environments containing oils. R-series filters may be limited to 8

hours of continuous or intermittent use if oil aerosols are present. In environments containing only oil

aerosols, P-series filters should be replaced after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever is first.
