The OX Tools Twin Filter Cartridges are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable respiratory protection during projects involving organic vapours, acid gases, sulphur, and ammonia. Their key benefit lies in the advanced ABEK1 filtration system which offers high flow rates for easier breathing, though users should note that these filters are application-specific and must be replaced regularly according to exposure levels and environmental conditions.

ABEK1 refers to the filter's capacity to protect against organic vapours (A), inorganic gases (B), acid gases (E), and ammonia (K) at a Class 1 concentration level.
These filters are replaceable cartridges, not permanently reusable. They must be replaced once the service life is exhausted or if physical damage occurs.
No, these are chemical vapour cartridges. You would need to attach appropriate particulate pre-filters if you are also working in dusty environments.
No, you must never attempt to wash, clean, or blow out these filters with compressed air, as this can destroy the internal filtration media.
Replace them if you can smell or taste contaminants, if breathing resistance increases, or if the environment in which you are working dictates a specific replacement schedule.
These cartridges are designed specifically for OX Tools respiratory systems. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and is not recommended.
Check for moisture buildup or potential clogging. If the filter is saturated, replace it immediately.
Ensure the cartridges are securely attached and check the face seal of the mask. If the seal is secure, the filter has reached its capacity and must be replaced.
Do not attempt to repair. Discard the cartridge immediately and replace with a new one.
To install, align the filter cartridges with the attachment points on your OX Tools half-mask respirator and twist or snap into place as indicated by the mask instructions. Always perform a negative pressure seal check before entering a hazardous area: cover the filter inlets with your hands and inhale gently; if the mask collapses slightly, you have a proper seal. For care, keep cartridges in a cool, dry place away from chemical contaminants when not in use. Replace the filters if you detect any odor or taste through the mask, if breathing becomes difficult, or if the manufacturer's suggested service life has been exceeded.
