B1 Inorganic Vapours & Acid Gases Cartridge

Headline: Specialized Defence Against Invisible Threats. Breathe Protected from Inorganic Vapours & Acid Gases.

Sub-headline: Engineered for challenging environments where protection beyond organic vapors is required. Your shield against specific chemical and acidic hazards.

Body:

Step into specialized industrial settings with confidence. Our B1 Inorganic Vapours & Acid Gases cartridges are precision-engineered for environments where the primary respiratory hazards are not from solvents, but from a distinct class of inorganic chemicals and corrosive acids.

While A1 cartridges target organic vapours from paints and solvents, the B1 cartridge is the critical solution for a different set of threats commonly found in chemical processing, water treatment, and metal refining. This is specialized protection for the pros who face unique airborne hazards.

What This Cartridge Protects You From:

• Inorganic Vapours (IV): Protects against a specific set of non-carbon-based chemical vapours, including:

  • Chlorine (Cl₂): Commonly used in water purification and disinfectant processes.

  • Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): A toxic gas found in sewage, manure, and oil/gas extraction.

  • Cyanogen Chloride (CK) & Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN): Used in chemical synthesis and fumigation.

• Acid Gases (AG): Provides robust protection against a range of corrosive acid gases, such as:

  • Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)

  • Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)

  • Hydrogen Fluoride (HF)

Key Features & Benefits:

• Targeted Filtration Media: Formulated with specialized sorbents designed to effectively capture and neutralize the unique molecular structure of inorganic vapours and acid gases.

• NIOSH / EN Certified: Manufactured to meet strict international safety standards (42 CFR 84 or EN 14387) for reliable, certified performance.

• Clear Color-Coding: Features a standard universal Gray or Grey/White colour code for instant, unmistakable identification on the job site, preventing misuse.

• Universal Compatibility: Built with a standard bayonet connection for seamless use with most major brands of double-cartridge respirators.

• Robust Construction: Designed to perform in demanding industrial environments, ensuring the filter media is protected from moisture and physical damage.

Critical Application Note:
This cartridge is NOT designed for common spray painting, gluing, or degreasing tasks, which release organic vapours. Using a B1 cartridge for organic solvents like toluene or acetone will provide NO PROTECTION.

Pair for Complete Protection:
In many scenarios, hazards include both gases and particles. For maximum safety, pair this B1 cartridge with P100 Particulate Filters. This combination protects your lungs from both the hazardous gases and any concurrent dusts, mists, or metal fumes.

Important Safety Notice:

• Know Your Hazard: Always conduct an air quality assessment to identify all contaminants before selecting respiratory protection.

• Service Life: Cartridges have a limited service life. Replace immediately if you detect breakthrough (odor or irritation) and strictly follow your facility’s change-out schedule.

• Not for Oxygen-Deficient Atmospheres: This air-purifying respirator (APR) is not for use in areas with low oxygen levels (<19.5%).
