3M P100 Respirator Cartridge/Filter 60923, 1 Pair — NIOSH‑Approved Organic Vapor & P100 Protection

The 3M 60923 is a NIOSH-approved P100 organic vapor and acid gas cartridge/filter pair designed to reduce exposure to select organic vapors, acid gases and particulates when used with compatible 3M and Scott facepieces.

Engineered for industrial and laboratory settings, this cartridge/filter combination balances gas-phase adsorption with high-efficiency particulate filtration. It fits bayonet-style connections on multiple 3M half and full facepieces (6000, 7000, FF-400 series) and 3M Scott AV-3000 facepieces with the AV-632 adapter, so a single product can serve several workstations and job tasks. The 60923 is intended for use at exposures up to 10x PEL on half facepieces and up to 50x PEL on quantitatively fit-tested full facepieces for listed hazards — it is not rated for IDLH environments.

How does the 60923 protect against vapors and particulates?

The cartridge combines a chemisorptive/adsorptive media for organic vapors and certain acid gases with a P100 particulate filter. That dual-function design lets you address mixed exposures without swapping components during a shift.

• P100 particulate media captures 99.97% of oil and non-oil aerosols.
• Sorbent layers target specified organic vapors and listed acid gases like chlorine and hydrogen chloride.
• Bayonet mount enables secure, leak-resistant attachment to compatible facepieces.

Which work environments are appropriate for the 60923?

Use this cartridge/filter in industrial settings where the listed vapors, acid gases and particulates are present at concentrations within the cartridge’s rated limits. Typical uses include chemical manufacturing, petrochemical operations, laboratories and pharmaceutical production.

• Chemical processing and handling of organic solvents
• Laboratory tasks producing acid gas or vapor byproducts
• General manufacturing and pharmaceutical operations with particulate plus vapor exposures

What facepieces and attachments are compatible with the cartridge?

The 60923 uses a standard 3M bayonet connection and works directly with many 3M half- and full-face respirators. It also fits certain 3M Scott models when used with the AV-632 adapter, simplifying inventory for mixed fleets of facepieces.

• Direct-fit: 3M 6000, 7000 and FF-400 series facepieces (bayonet holders).
• With adapter: 3M Scott AV-3000 HT and AV-3000 SureSeal using AV-632 bayonet adapter.
• Sold as a pair — replace both cartridges per manufacturer guidance or when breathing resistance increases.

How should I use and maintain the 60923 safely?

Follow all workplace respiratory protection program rules, including fit testing, cartridge change schedules, and inspection before each use. This cartridge is not for IDLH atmospheres and should be discarded if damaged, soiled or if you detect breakthrough (odor/taste).

• Perform quantitative fit testing for full facepiece use when required by regulation.
• Store sealed cartridges in original packaging, away from contamination and extreme temperatures.
• Replace cartridges following manufacturer change-out guidance or upon breakthrough indicators.

Who is this for: The 3M 60923 P100 cartridge/filter pair is intended for safety managers, lab supervisors and industrial workers who need a single respirator accessory to address mixed particulate plus organic vapor/acid gas hazards. It’s well suited to facilities aiming to streamline respirator inventories and provide broad protection across chemical handling, manufacturing, and laboratory tasks — provided the exposure levels stay within the cartridge’s rated limits and a comprehensive respiratory protection program is in place.
