Description

This NIOSH-approved organic vapor/high efficiency catridge helps provide respiratory protection in environments containing certain organic vapors and particulates. Used with 3M GVP Belt-Mounted Powered Air Purifying Respirator Systems.

NIOSH-approved cartridge used for respiratory protection against certain organic vapors. Also operates as a high efficiency particulate filter. Used with the 3M GVP PARR. Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PARR) are motorized systems powered by a battery pack which draw air through a filter or cartridge to provide respiratory protection to the wear. The blower unit can be mounted on the waist, face, or head, depending on the system selected.

Potential benefits include:

• Certain PARR systems provide a higher level of respiratory protection than non-powered air filtering respirators.
• Constant flow of air can provide cooling for the worker, resulting in greater comfort for the wearer.
• Loose-fitting headgear options provide respiratory protection without the need for a tight faceseal or fit testing.
• Battery-powered blower pulls the air through the filter resulting in no additional breathing resistance to the wearer.
