The 3M
™
7500 Series half mask can be used with a variety of different
filter/product options:
3M
™
Gas and vapour filters – All the 6000 Series filters
listed overleaf fit directly onto the 7500 Series half masks
(e.g 6051, 6055 etc)
3M
™
Particulate filters – the 2000 Series, 6035 and 6038 filters fit
directly onto the 7500 Series half masks.
The 5911 / 5925 / 5935 particulate filters can only be used on their
own if used with the platform 603 & retainer 501.
A combination of gas / vapour and particulate filters – the 5911 /
5925 / 5935 particulate filters can be used with the 6000 series gas /
vapour filters (except 6096) using retainer 501.
Note: The 6098 or 6099 filters should not be used with 7500 series half
masks.
Approvals
The 7500 Series half masks and 6000 / 5000 / 2000 Series filters have
been shown to meet the Basic Safety Requirements under Article 10
and 11B of the European Community Directive 89/686, and are thus CE-
marked.

Correct Usage
● The 7500 Series facepiece, when fitted with 6000 Series gas/vapour
filters may be used in concentrations of gases or vapour (types
specified by 3M) up to 10 times WEL
▲
or 1000ppm (5000ppm for
6055) whichever value is lower (APF=10)*. Gas / vapour filters
should not be used to protect the wearer against a gas or vapour
that has poor warning properties.
● The 7500 Series facepieces when used with the 5911 filter may
be used in concentrations of solid and aqueous aerosols up to 4
times WEL
▲
(APF=4)*.
● The 7500 Series facepieces when used with the 5925, 2125 or
2128 filters may be used in concentrations of particulates up to
10 times WEL
▲
(APF=10)*.
● The 7500 Series facepieces when used with the 5935, 2135,
2138, 6035 or 6038 may be used in concentrations of particulates
up to 20 times WEL
▲
(APF=20)*.
● The 7500 Series facepieces when used with the 2128 and
2138 may be used to protect against ozone up to 10 times

(APF=10)* and to offer relief from nuisance odours and
acid gases below the WEL

.
● The 7500 Series facepieces when used with the 6038 filter may be
used to protect against Hydrogen Fluoride gas up to 30ppm and offer
relief from Ozone, Organic Vapours and acid gases below WEL.

Cleaning and Storage
1. Cleaning is recommended after each use. Remove the filters.
2. Clean the facepiece (excluding filters) with 3M
™
105 Face Seal
Cleaners or by immersing in warm cleaning solution, water
temperature not to exceed 50°C and scrub with soft brush until
clean. Add neutral detergent if necessary. Do not use cleaners
containing lanolin or other oils.
3. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air dry in a non-contaminated
atmosphere.
4. Respirator components, especially exhalation valve and seat,
should be inspected prior to each use. Any damaged or
deteriorated components should be replaced.
5. The cleaned respirator should be stored away from
contaminated areas when not in use.
