Description

Product Overview

The North Multi-Contaminant P100 Cartridge is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial workers who encounter a wide range of airborne hazards. Manufactured by Honeywell, a trusted name in personal protective equipment, this cartridge combines a robust P100 filtration media with a durable housing that resists damage from chemicals, moisture, and mechanical stress. The cartridge measures 7 x 3 x 2.5 inches and weighs only 8 ounces, making it lightweight enough for prolonged use without sacrificing protection. Its design incorporates a secure locking mechanism that ensures a tight seal when attached to compatible North half masks or full facepieces, preventing any bypass of contaminated air. The cartridge is certified to filter at least 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, providing a high level of defense against dust, fumes, aerosols, and other particulates commonly found in construction, manufacturing, and renovation settings. The product is not discontinued, and it has maintained a strong reputation since its introduction in September 2004, as reflected by a 4.7-star rating from over 1,300 customer reviews.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the North Multi-Contaminant P100 Cartridge is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications. Whether you are a contractor sanding drywall, a painter applying solvent-based coatings, a metalworker grinding and welding, or a laboratory technician handling fine powders, this cartridge offers the filtration performance needed to keep your respiratory system safe. The cartridge works seamlessly with Honeywell North half masks and full facepieces, allowing users to quickly swap filters in the field without specialized tools. Its P100 rating makes it ideal for environments where both particulate and vapor hazards are present, such as demolition sites with silica dust, paint booths with volatile organic compounds, and agricultural settings where pesticide aerosols may be encountered. The cartridge’s easy-to-perform user seal checks enable workers to verify the integrity of the mask‑cartridge assembly before entering a hazardous area, reducing the risk of exposure due to an improperly sealed system. Because the cartridge is lightweight and compact, it can be stored in a personal protective equipment (PPE) bag or a tool belt pocket, ensuring that replacement filters are always within reach.

FAQ

What types of hazards does the North P100 cartridge protect against?

The cartridge is rated P100, meaning it filters at least 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. It is effective against dust, metal fumes, silica, wood dust, and many aerosolized contaminants. The multi‑contaminant formulation also provides limited protection against certain vapors, making it a versatile choice for mixed‑hazard environments.

Can this cartridge be used with full facepieces as well as half masks?

Yes. The cartridge is compatible with all Honeywell North half masks and full facepieces that use the standard cartridge attachment system. This flexibility allows users to select the appropriate facepiece for the specific task while using the same high‑performance filter.

How often should the cartridge be replaced?

Replacement intervals depend on the concentration of contaminants and the duration of exposure. Honeywell recommends inspecting the cartridge daily and replacing it when breathing resistance increases noticeably, when the filter media appears discolored, or after the manufacturer‑specified service life, typically 30‑45 days of continuous use in high‑hazard conditions.

Is the cartridge suitable for use in environments with chemical vapors?

While the cartridge provides limited protection against certain organic vapors, it is primarily designed for particulate hazards. For environments with high concentrations of toxic gases or specific chemical vapors, a dedicated chemical cartridge should be used in conjunction with the P100 filter.

What is included in the pack?

Each pack contains two North Multi‑Contaminant P100 Respirator Cartridges, allowing users to have a spare on hand for quick replacement without interrupting work flow.
