General Quality

High temperatures can adversely affect the adsorptive capacity of respirator cartridges and canisters. Multiple contaminants introduce a great deal of variability into the prediction of service life for respirator cartridges. The service life of a respirator cartridges or canisters depends upon the total amount of contaminant captured by the absorbent. Respirator cartridges come in a wide variety of styles and can be selected for the specific risk or for general protection from a wide range of contaminants.
