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
Filter Type Colour Code Type of Contaminant
Organic vapours with boiling point > 65°C
A Brown (with good warning properties) as specified by
the manufacturer
Inorganic gases & vapours (with good warning
B Grey
properties) as specified by the manufacturer
Acid gases (with good warning properties) as
E Yellow

Ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives
K Green (with good warning properties) as specified by
the manufacturer
Formaldehyde Olive green Formaldehyde vapour
Organic vapours with boiling point < 65°C
AX Brown (with good warning properties) as specified by
the manufacturer
Hg Red Mercury vapour
P White Solid and non-volatile liquid aerosols
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/Vapour Filter Classes
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
Note: AX filters are for single use only
Class 2 Hg filters have maximum use life of 50 hours
Particulate filters can also be classified into one of three classes depending on the
efficiency in removing contaminants from the inhaled air.
