Combination Filter 1140 A2B2E2K2 Hg-P3 RD | Draeger

The Dräger Combination Filter 1140 A2B2E2K2 Hg-P3 RD is a highly versatile respiratory protection filter designed to protect users from a wide range of hazardous substances. Here's a breakdown of its components and key features:

Product Details:

• Filter Type: Combination filter (A2B2E2K2 Hg-P3 RD)

• Manufacturer: Dräger (a leading company in safety and medical technology)

Filter Specifications:

1. A2 – Organic gases and vapors (e.g., solvents, paints, and other chemical vapors)

   • The "A2" classification means the filter is effective for organic gases and vapors, such as those produced by solvents or petrochemicals. It provides protection for gases with a boiling point > 65°C.

2. B2 – Inorganic gases and vapors (e.g., ammonia, chlorine)

   • This provides protection against inorganic gases and vapors, which include gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), chlorine (Cl2), or ammonia (NH3).

3. E2 – Acid gases (e.g., hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide)

   • Protection against acidic gases and vapors, such as hydrogen chloride or sulfur dioxide. This ensures the safety of workers exposed to industrial processes that release such gases.

4. K2 – Ammonia and amine gases (e.g., ammonia (NH3), amine compounds)

   • Specifically designed to filter out ammonia and amine gases that are common in industrial applications, agricultural processes, and chemical manufacturing.

5. Hg – Mercury vapors (e.g., mercury vapor exposure)

   • This filter is capable of protecting against mercury vapors (Hg), which are toxic and can pose a severe risk to human health when inhaled.

6. P3 – Particulate filter

   • The P3 designation means this filter is effective against fine dust, fumes, and aerosols. It provides a high level of protection against particulates in hazardous environments.

7. RD – Reusable/Dräger Regeneration Technology

   • The "RD" designation means the filter is equipped with reusable features or Dräger's regeneration technology, enhancing its lifespan and making it more cost-effective over time.

Key Features:

• Protection Against Multiple Hazards: This combination filter provides a broad range of protection against organic gases, inorganic gases, acid gases, ammonia, mercury vapors, and particulates, making it suitable for various hazardous environments.

• Applications: The filter is typically used in industrial settings, laboratories, and chemical plants where workers are exposed to toxic gases, vapors, or particulates. It’s also useful for protection against mercury vapor in some specific workplaces.

• Compatibility: This filter is compatible with Dräger half masks and full-face masks, offering a comfortable and secure fit for respiratory protection.

• Durability: Designed to last under a wide variety of conditions, and can be replaced when its protective capacity is exhausted.

• Breathing Comfort: Designed for effective filtration while ensuring users can breathe comfortably in environments with a wide variety of chemical hazards.

Maintenance and Replacement:

• Filters should be replaced according to the manufacturer's guidelines or when the user detects a decrease in comfort, increased resistance to breathing, or if exposure levels are exceeded.

• Always check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure that the filter is used in appropriate environments and conditions.

Ideal Use Cases:

• Chemical Plants

• Pharmaceutical Industry

• Laboratories

• Mining Operations (due to Hg protection)

• Agricultural Work (due to ammonia and chemical vapor protection)
