A1P2 Combination Cartridge | All-in-One Protection for Vapours, Gases & Dust
Headline: Total Respiratory Defence. One Cartridge for Vapours, Gases, and Dust.
Sub-headline: The ultimate convenience and protection for complex environments. The A1P2 combines an A1 Organic Vapour & Acid Gas filter with a P2 particulate filter in a single, rugged unit.
Body:
Why juggle multiple filters when you can have complete protection in one? The A1P2 Combination Cartridge is engineered for real-world job sites where hazards don’t come one at a time. From spray painting that creates both toxic vapours and airborne overspray to chemical handling in dusty conditions, this cartridge is your all-in-one solution for multi-threat environments.
This innovative cartridge integrates two critical layers of defence: a high-efficiency P2 particulate filter permanently bonded to a robust A1 organic vapour and acid gas cartridge. Streamline your gear, reduce changeover time, and work with the confidence that you’re protected against the full spectrum of common industrial hazards.
What This Combination Cartridge Protects You From:
-
Organic Vapours (A1): Harmful solvents from paints, thinners, adhesives, and degreasers.
-
Examples: Toluene, Xylene, Acetone, Mineral Spirits.
-
-
Acid Gases (A1): Corrosive gases from certain chemicals, cleaners, or industrial processes.
-
Examples: Chlorine, Hydrogen Chloride, Sulfur Dioxide.
-
-
Dusts, Mists & Particles (P2): Airborne particulate matter.
-
Examples: Wood Dust, Drywall Dust, Paint Overspray, Metal Mists, Mold Spores, Pollen.
-
Key Features & Benefits:
-
All-in-One Efficiency: Eliminates the need for separate screw-on filters. Get certified protection against vapours, gases, and dust in one compact, easy-to-install unit.
-
Certified & Reliable: Meets rigorous NIOSH (42 CFR 84) and/or EN standards for both gas/vapor and particulate filtration. Trust in proven performance.
-
Streamlined & Durable: The integrated design is more robust than stacked components, with a lower profile for better visibility and less snagging.
-
Universal Compatibility: Features a standard bayonet connection for use with most major brands of half-mask and full-face respirators.
-
Clear, Dual-Coding: Combines the Yellow (or Brown) colour of an A1 gas cartridge with the White of a P2 filter for instant hazard identification.
Ideal For Multi-Hazard Tasks Like:
-
Spray Painting & Coating: Protects against both solvent vapours and paint mist.
-
Chemical Cleaning in Dusty Areas: Handles chemical vapours and dust kick-up simultaneously.
-
Facility Maintenance & Repair: Perfect for unpredictable environments where you encounter degreasers (vapours) and grinding dust (particles).
-
DIY Renovations: Ideal for tasks like painting (vapours) followed by sanding (dust) without changing your respirator’s filters.
Important Safety Notice:
-
This cartridge does not protect against ammonia, carbon monoxide, or asbestos.
-
The P2 particulate layer is permanently attached. When the gas cartridge is exhausted or the filter becomes clogged, the entire unit must be replaced.
-
Always perform a user seal check on your respirator before each use and replace the cartridge immediately if you detect breakthrough (odor, taste, or increased breathing resistance).
