Chemical Cartridges
Each chemical cartridge is designed to provide respirato-
ry protection against specific contaminants. A chemical
cartridge absorbs and/or adsorbs specific vapors and
gases from a contaminated atmosphere. This process
continues until the sorbent becomes saturated and al-
lows the contaminant to break through. OSHA requires
a chemical cartridge change out schedule based on
workplace aerosol concentration and no longer relies
on breakthrough sensory detection to initiate chemical
cartridge changing.
Particulate filters
Filters provide protection against particulates. All
Sundström particulate filters trap and hold particles in
the filtering media. As the amount of the captured con-
taminant in the media increases, breathing resistance
also increases. Replace the filter when the change in
breathing resistance becomes noticeable.
The P100 filter is 99.97 % efficient against all particulate
aerosols.
Sundström Safety has conducted degradation testing
of our P100 filter. Our test results show that even after
an extensive period exposed to oil based contaminants
this filter will not degrade.
Combination Protective Elements
An appropriate chemical cartridge and P100 filter can
be combined to provide protection from a combination
of certain vapors, gases and particulates.
Pre-filter
The Sundström pre-filter is not an protective element
and can never be used as primary protection or as a
substitute for the P100.
It is designed to prevent nuisance particulates from
reaching the protective elements. This increases the
life span of the primary protective element.

without reading and understanding all in-
structions in this booklet.
This training section is designed for the user and their
safety manager. It contains the minimum information
required to safely instruct users on how to don, doff,
test, and change protective elements for the Sund-
ström respirator. This training procedure is included
as a supplement to the instructions contained in the
remainder of this manual.
Local conditions may require additional instructions.
Sundström encourages the safety professional re-
sponsible for the respiratory program to add all local
information possible to increase worker safety and to
supplement this basic text. You can obtain an Instruc-
tors Guide from your nearest Sundström Distributor.
1. WHY USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION?
A. Why is breathing protection necessary?
Breathing protection is necessary whenever you
are in an atmosphere that could injure your health.
Depending on the substance present in the contami-
nated atmosphere you could be at risk of:
LUNG DAMAGE
Bronchitis, edema, pneumonia
DAMAGE TO VITAL ORGANS
Kidneys, liver, brain
CANCER
PERMANENT DISABILITY
asthma, silicosis, asbestosis or emphysema
or at worst
DEATH
