Cartridge Types
Every cartridge is given a color that is coordinated with the type of contaminate it filters. To determine which Survivair cartridge is right for you, contact a safety professional or consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the substance you are needing filtered. The cartridge color associated with the filter type is as follows:
Olive: Multi-Contaminant
White: Acid gas
Black: Organic Vapors
Green: Ammonia gas
Yellow: Acid gas and organic vapors
Purple: Any particulate - P100
Orange: Any particulate - P95, P99, R95, R99, R100
Teal: Any particulate free of oil - N95, N99 or N100
Cartridge and Filter Classifications
Filters are broken up into three series; N, R, and P. The N series filter is tested with NaCl and used in environments free from oil aerosols. R series filters are tested DOP (Di-Octyl Phthalate), and should be disposed of after one use. The P series filters are also tested with DOP to determine zero decrease in efficiency at the 95%, 99% or 9.997% levels.
