Respirator filter 3M 6057 for protection against organic, inorganic and acid gases/vapours

Respirator Filter 3M 6057 provides protection against a range of organic vapors, inorganic gases and acid gases including formic acid, hydrochloric acid and chlorine. Designed for compatibility with 3M 6000 and 7000 series half and full facepieces, the filter can be combined with 3M 2000 and 5000 series particulate filters to provide both gas/vapor and particulate protection. The filter features a lightweight construction and low breathing resistance with a trapezoidal shape that does not obstruct the field of vision.

Advantages

The 3M 6057 filter offers multi-gas protection in a single cartridge suitable for varied industrial applications. Its low-profile, trapezoid design keeps the visual field clear while maintaining effective filtration. The filter is lightweight for extended use and engineered to minimize breathing resistance. Compatibility with a wide range of 3M facepieces and the ability to pair with particulate filters increases versatility.

How to use

Attach the 3M 6057 filter to compatible 3M half or full facepieces following the mask manufacturer’s instructions. If particulate protection is required, fit the appropriate 3M 2000 or 5000 series particulate filter together with the 6057 cartridge as specified by 3M. Ensure a proper face seal by performing a user seal check before each use. Replace the filter when breakthrough, increased breathing resistance, or contamination is detected, or according to workplace safety procedures and exposure monitoring.

Recommendations

Use this filter only for the gases and vapors listed by its ABE1 classification. Do not use for unknown concentrations of hazardous gases, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, or where specific gas filters are required. Store in a clean, dry place and follow 3M guidance for service life, maintenance and disposal.
