Built for comfort and convenience, the 3M™ 6000 Series reusable respirators are made from soft, lightweight materials, and the adjustable features help provide a secure, personalized fit. The ergonomic placement of the 3M™ respirator filters helps improve visibility on the job and promotes a more balanced feel for the wearer, and the respirator itself can be disassembled, cleaned, and reused.
Compatible with a wide variety of NIOSH-approved 3M respirator cartridges and filters to help protect your workforce from certain particulates, gases and vapors. When used with 3M™ respirator filters and cartridges, this respirator may help provide respiratory protection at concentrations up to ten times the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). This half face respirator is also compatible with the 3M™ TR-600 and TR-800 powered air purifying systems and Dual Airline supplied air systems.

FAQ
3M 600 Series FAQ
Q. What size do I need?
A. The size Medium will generally fit 80% of the population. You'll more or less know if you need a size larger based on your previous experiences with hats, glasses, helmets, etc.
Q. I bought a reusable respirator. Now what do I need?
A. You’ll want a 3M 6000 series cartridges for specific gases and vapors, 3M 2000 series filters for particulates (such as dust, fumes, mist, smoke, mold, bacteria, etc), or a convenient combination Cartridge & Filter unit for protection from both. If you don’t see the combined unit you need, you can make it by buying the appropriate 3M 6000 series cartridge, the appropriate 3M 5000 series filter, and then a 3M 501 filter retainer to clamp them together. And if you’re not exactly sure what level of protection or parts you need, give us a call at 800-899-1255.
Q. When should I replace my cartridge or filter?
A. Gas/vapor cartridges should be replaced: when passed the expiry date, after 6 months from opening (even if unused), as soon as contaminants can be smelt or tasted (called “breakthrough”), or in accordance with your company’s established Filter Change Schedule. Certain filters will specify different replacement instructions as well. As a note, Breakthrough – where the sorbent filter material becomes saturated and starts letting in contaminants – is an unreliable method for changing cartridges and OHSA mandates that employers have a cartridge change schedule in place, so that they can be replaced prior to losing their effectiveness.
Particulate filters will eventually clog up, so they should be changed when it becomes difficult to breathe regularly. Dirty or damaged filters should also be replaced.
Q. What is the shelf life of my cartridge?
A. Cartridges, if stored unopened in their original packaging and directly away from sunlight, humidity, and high temperature will last five years from date of manufacture. Once opened, they start absorbing contaminants from the general environment and will have a maximum use time of 6 months (even if unused). And, once in service, actual service life will be affected and determined by use conditions such as: contaminant and contaminant concentration, breathing rate, humidity level, temperature, ventilation, etc.
Q. How should I store respirators, cartridges, and filters?
A. Cleaned Respirators and components should be stored in a sealed, airtight bag or container and placed in a cool and dry environment away from contaminated atmospheres. You can’t turn a respirator off; it’ll even filter ambient air if you let it, so extend its life with proper storage.
