3M™ Organic Vapor Service Life Indicator Cartridges 6000i Series can
help give users added confidence in determining when to replace their
cartridge
Using a respirator cartridge beyond its service life can endanger
workers and lead to regulatory violations. 3M has launched a new line of
organic vapor respirator cartridges with 3M™ Service Life Indicator
technology, an end-of-service-life-indicator (ESLI) that, when used in
appropriate environments, visually shows when users should change
cartridges.

The 3M™ Service Life Indicator can be used to complement a company’s
current respirator cartridge change schedule, and in some cases replace
it. Workers simply peel back a removable sensor protector to view the
indicator bar and, in appropriate environments, determine when to change
the cartridge. The indicator can also help optimize cartridge change
schedules across workers because it is designed to indicate service life
based on individual exposure and breathing patterns.
“Using a respirator filter too long can lead to break-through of the
hazard into the respirator,” said Alana Mitchell, Global Marketing
Manager, Reusable Respirators, 3M. “In appropriate environments, the 3M™
Service Life Indicator can help protect workers from dangerous airborne
organic vapors by helping remove the guesswork related to cartridge
replacement, giving users the assurance that their respirator is
delivering the protection they need.”
