Type of Protection: ABEK1 filters provide protection against a broader range of hazards, specifically:
A: Organic gases and vapors with a boiling point above 65°C (like those the A1 filters protect against)
B: Inorganic gases and vapors (e.g., chlorine, hydrogen sulfide)
E: Acid gases (e.g., sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid)
K: Ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives
Key Features:
Designed to fit securely onto the REBEL Reusable Half Mask Double Cartridge Respirator using a bayonet fitting system.
Lightweight and relatively compact.
Replaceable, allowing you to swap out cartridges when they become saturated or expire.
Important Considerations:
Not a universal solution: While ABEK1 filters offer broader protection, they are still not a universal solution. They won’t protect you from:
Carbon monoxide
Certain highly toxic substances
Particulates (unless used with a particulate pre-filter)
Proper Use is Crucial: To ensure effective protection:
Use with a correctly fitting respirator mask.
Replace regularly according to manufacturer instructions or when you detect breakthrough (i.e., you can smell the contaminant).
Use in environments with sufficient oxygen (at least 19.5%).
Consult with a Professional: If you’re unsure about the specific hazards you face or the type of respiratory protection you need, consult a qualified safety professional.
