These 3M 6057 ABE1 filters give gas and vapour protection for workplace use in hazardous environments. They fit a range of 3M reusable half and full face masks with a bayonet connection, so one filter type can serve several mask models and help keep your stock simpler.
The swept-back, low-profile shape keeps your field of view clear and the mask well balanced. Each filter uses a carbon bed that adsorbs contaminants from the air you breathe. 3M has shaped the bed depth, filter body and carbon particle size to keep breathing easy and service life long. The pack contains 8 filters.

Choosing and changing filters
Compatibility and approvals between filter and facepiece depend on regulations, so check the Technical Datasheet to confirm your filter and mask are approved together. 3M’s free Select and Service Life Software (www.3M.com/sls) covers more than 700 chemicals and helps you select respirators and filters and set change-out schedules. Replace the filters in line with your documented schedule, or sooner if you notice smell, taste or irritation from contaminants.
