Product Information

Full details

This Portwest ABEK2P3 Combination Filter is designed for professionals requiring comprehensive respiratory protection against a wide range of gases, vapours, and particulates. Its key benefit is the dual-action filtration for both gases/vapours and hazardous particles, all within a single, lightweight unit. A potential caveat is its reliance on compatible full face masks with a specific DIN threaded connection.

FAQs

What types of contaminants does the ABEK2P3 filter protect against?

It protects against organic gases and vapours, inorganic gases and vapours, acid gases, sulphur dioxide, ammonia and its derivatives, as well as solid and liquid particulates (dust, fumes, mists).

How long does this filter last?

Filter lifespan varies greatly depending on the concentration of contaminants in the air, the user's breathing rate, and humidity. Always replace the filter when breathing becomes difficult, when an odor is detected, or by the expiry date, whichever comes first.

Can I use this filter with any respirator?

No, this filter is specifically designed for full face masks with a standard EN 148-1 DIN threaded connection. It is not compatible with half masks or respirators with different fitting types.

Is this filter suitable for environments with low oxygen levels?

No, this filter does not supply oxygen and should not be used in atmospheres with less than 19.5% oxygen or in immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) conditions.

How should I store unused filters?

Store unused filters in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and any chemicals or contaminants.

What does 'ABEK2P3' mean?

ABEK refers to the types of gases and vapours protected against (A: Organic, B: Inorganic, E: Acid Gases, K: Ammonia). The '2' indicates Class 2 performance for gas filtration, and 'P3' indicates Class 3 performance for particle filtration.

Is the filter reusable?

No, the filter is intended for single use or until its protection capacity is exhausted or expired. It cannot be cleaned or reused.

Troubleshooting

Filter is difficult to screw onto the mask.

Ensure you are using a mask with the correct EN 148-1 DIN threaded connection. Check for any debris in the mask's thread or on the filter's thread. Do not force the connection.

Breathing feels restricted immediately after fitting.

This may indicate an improper seal or that the filter is not seated correctly. Re-seat the filter and perform the user seal check. If the restriction persists, the filter may be damaged or expired and should be replaced.

Noticeable odor or irritation during use.

This suggests the filter's capacity has been exceeded or it is not the correct type for the contaminant. Remove yourself from the contaminated area immediately, replace the filter, and ensure it is the appropriate type for the hazard.

Filter packaging is damaged upon receipt.

Do not use the filter. Discard it and use a new, properly sealed filter. Report the issue to your supplier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides comprehensive protection against a wide spectrum of airborne hazards.
  • Dual gas and particle filtration in a single unit simplifies safety protocols.
  • Standard DIN thread ensures compatibility with many common full face mask systems.
  • Lightweight design contributes to user comfort and reduces fatigue.
  • Individually packaged for hygiene, easy distribution, and retail display.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible full face mask with a specific EN 148-1 DIN threaded connection.
  • Limited to specific environments and contaminant types; not suitable for all respiratory risks.
  • Filter lifespan is dependent on concentration of contaminants and usage patterns.
  • Can add weight and restrict vision when fitted to a mask.
  • Requires proper fit-testing of the mask for effective protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your full face mask is clean and free from damage.
  2. Verify that the mask features a standard DIN threaded connection compliant with EN 148-1.
  3. Unpack the ABEK2P3 filter, ensuring the seal is intact.
  4. Carefully screw the filter onto the mask's threaded port until it is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
  5. Perform a user seal check according to the mask manufacturer's instructions to ensure an airtight fit.

Compatibility:

This filter is designed for use with full face masks that feature a standard EN 148-1 DIN threaded connection. It is not compatible with masks using bayonet fittings or other connection types.

Care:

  • Store filters in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of contamination.
  • Do not clean the filter. If the filter becomes visibly dirty, damaged, or if breathing becomes difficult, it must be replaced immediately.
  • Filters have a limited shelf life, even when sealed. Check the expiry date printed on the packaging.
  • After use, contaminated filters should be disposed of according to local regulations.
