TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The 3M 6000 series filters must be selected in accordance with AS/NZS 1715.
3M Gas/vapour filters generally protect against either single or multiple conta-
minant types(s) and against particulates when combined with a particulate filter.

Filter Types
The 6000 Series gas/vapour filters are also classified, into one of two classes,
depending on the capacity to remove contaminants from the inhaled air.
Gas Filter Maximum use Concentration
Class with 3M Half mask
10 x Exposure Std or 1000 ppm
1
(0.1% vol) whichever is lower
10 x Exposure Std or 1000 ppm
2
(0.1% vol) whichever is lower
Gas/Vapour Filter Classes
Note: 6075 formaldehyde <10 ppm
AX filters are for single use only
Class 2 Hg filters have maximum use life of 50 hours
WEL = Workplace Exposure Limit
Particulate filters can also be classified into one of three classes depending on the
efficiency in removing contaminants from the inhaled air.
