3M 6006
Item Details
Tab Description
If you work around chemicals, vapors, or dangerous fumes, the 3M 6006 is one of the most trusted options on the market for serious respiratory protection. Designed for industrial professionals and field personnel in high-exposure environments, this multi gas vapor cartridge offers broad-spectrum gas and vapor protection for a variety of applications—from hazardous waste handling and chemical transfer to petrochemical and chemical processing and food processing.
3M 6006: Versatile, Dependable Multi-Gas and Vapor Cartridge
The 3M 6006 is engineered to protect against certain organic vapors, acid gases, ammonia, methylamine, and formaldehyde, making it a top choice for environments where exposure to vapors, acid gases, and ammonia may exceed permissible exposure limits. This organic vapor cartridge is compatible with 3M Half and Full Facepieces, and when properly fitted, provides a secure seal to help reduce exposure to a wide range of gas and vapor concentrations.
This gas vapor cartridge 6006 is widely used in industries that include chemical processing, primary metals, food safety, and occupational safety roles involving pouring molten metal, chemical clean up, or breathing gases in confined spaces. Whether you're dealing with chlorine dioxide, hydrogen chloride, or hydrogen fluoride, the 6006 is built to perform under pressure.
Designed for Comfort, Built for Performance
One of the standout features of the 3M multi gas vapor cartridge is its swept back design, which enhances the field of view and ensures better balance when worn with 3M half and full facepieces. This design not only helps with comfort over extended use but also improves usability in environments requiring precision and movement.
It connects easily via the 3M bayonet adapter system, which also fits securely with the Scott AV 632 bayonet adapter. This modular compatibility makes respirator cartridge selection simpler and more effective—especially in multi-application settings where certain gases and vapors must be accounted for.
The cartridge meets NIOSH standards, and when quantitatively fit tested, it helps protect against both high and immediately dangerous levels of exposure.
Applications for the 3M 6006 Cartridge
1. Petrochemical and Chemical Processing
The 3M 6006 is built for work in refineries, tank farms, and manufacturing facilities where organic vapors, acid gases, and hazardous materials are regularly handled.
2. Hazardous Waste Handling and Chemical Cleanup
In government-regulated environments or situations involving federal government regulatory agency standards, this cartridge supports compliance during chemical clean up operations.
3. Primary Metals and Molten Metal Applications
Whether it’s pouring molten metal or conducting chemical transfer operations in smelting facilities, the multi gas capabilities of the 6006 offer needed protection against a wide range of threats.
4. Food Processing and Safety
Food-grade environments often involve exposure to sanitizing agents and corrosive gases. The 3M 6006 cartridge is an effective solution when working around organic vapors, acid gases, and agents like formaldehyde in food safety settings.
How the Vapor Cartridge Works
This gas and vapor cartridge functions by filtering contaminants from the air as the wearer breathes, using activated carbon and other specialized materials to absorb and neutralize organic vapors, acid gases, ammonia, and more. This filtration method is highly effective, and thanks to the swept back design, it doesn't restrict your vision or add excessive bulk.
The vapor cartridge performs as part of an integrated respiratory protection system. The bayonet adapter ensures a secure lock, and with the right respirator cartridge selection, this product helps safeguard against vapors chlorine hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride, and ammonia methylamine formaldehyde.
