Esko AIR8 A1B1E1K1 Multi Gas Respirator Kit in container

ESKO AIR8® A1B1E1K1 MULTI GAS RESPIRATOR  |  KIT

Multiple Gas & Vapour protection. Combined with particulate protection when using a 8010 filter.

AIR8 makes organic vapour respirator cartridges to help reduce user exposure to many different organic vapours. Organic vapours are compounds primarily derived from fossil fuels such as oil or coal. For example, solvents or petrol release organic vapours.

For protection when working with a variety of chemicals such as solvents (boiling point > 65°C), chlorine, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methylamine, and formaldehyde.

Provides protection against: Organic Vapours (boiling point > 65ºC) (A1), Inorganic & Acid Gases, Ammonia and Methylamine (B1E1K1).

• Contents: 1x 8600 Half Mask Respirator, 2x 8040 A1B1E1K1 gas filters, 2x 805 hygiene wipes, 1x resealable polybag
• Available in sizes: small, medium, large

How long will cartridges and filters last on the shelf and in use?

Stored unopened in the original packaging, AIR8 cartridges and filters will last 2 years. Once removed from their packaging, replace them after six months. The service life of cartridges and filters depends on a number of factors including the type and number of contaminants in the air, the breathing rate of the wearer, ventilation, humidity and respirator storage. Gas and vapour cartridges must be changed when contamination can be detected coming through cartridge by smell or taste. Particulate filters must be changed when breathing resistance increases and becomes uncomfortable.

What happens if I do not use a particulate filter with my cartridges?

The particulate filter removes the tiny droplets or particles in the air (eg. Mists from spray painting). Cartridges do not filter these particles, if no particulate filter is used, they could be breathed in.
