X-Plore 6000 Full Face Mask Combination Cartridges - Canister PH/CN/CS/P100 | Draeger

Description

Canister filter PH/CN/CS/P100 for respiratory protection against multiple agents.

• The cartridges are designed for use with Dräger X‑Plore 6000 (and compatible masks with the Dräger Rd40 / X‑Plore Rd40 interface) in full face respirator mode.

• Their designation “PH / CN / CS / P100” signals the types of gases/particles they filter/protect against:

  Code	Protection Type
  PH	Phosphine (PH₃) gas
  CN	Chloroacetophenone (CN, a tear gas)
  CS	2-Chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS, another tear gas)
  P100	Particulates — ≥ 99.97% filtration efficiency (oil‑proof)

• In effect, these are combination (multi‑gas + particulate) cartridges: they protect against selected gases/chemical agents and also against fine particles.

• They are often described under the “X‑Plore 6000 Full Face Mask Combination Cartridges – PH/CN/CS/P100” umbrella.

Technical & Performance Features

1. Gas & Vapour Filtration

   • The cartridge contains chemical absorbents (activated carbon and possibly impregnated media) targeted for specific gases/irritants (phosphine, CN, CS).

   • It is part of the Dräger Rd40 filter series, which conform to standards for gas/vapour filters (e.g., EN 14387 in Europe) and, in some cases, NIOSH aspects (depending on region).

2. Particulate Filtration (P100)

   • The “P100” rating means the cartridge has a particulate filter layer that can block ≥ 99.97% of airborne particles (including non‑oil aerosols) — an oil-proof particulate filter.

   • This helps the user in mixed environments (gas + dust, aerosols, smoke) without needing a separate particulate filter.

3. Design & Interface

   • The connection is via Rd40 — a standard screw / threaded interface used in Dräger’s X‑Plore / Rd40 family filters.

   • The cartridge is typically compact and designed to minimize obstruction to the wearer’s field of view.

   • It may include features like a metal/aluminum casing to help detect damage, and packaging to maintain shelf life.

4. Shelf Life & Service Life

   • Gas / combination cartridges generally have a shelf life (unopened) of about 6 years from manufacture.

   • In use, the service life depends heavily on the concentration of contaminants, humidity, temperature, breathing rate, and usage pattern. The cartridge must be replaced before breakthrough (when the user begins to detect the odor or sense irritation).

   • The particulate component may clog earlier (due to dust load) before the gas/vapour capacity is exhausted.

5. Regulatory / Standards

   • In the U.S., Dräger lists # 6737360 (Phosphine/Tear Gas / P100) under its Rd40 cartridge offerings.

   • In Europe, the cartridges in the X‑Plore Rd40 series comply with relevant filter standards (EN 14387, EN 143, EN 371).

Use Cases & Applications

These combination cartridges are especially useful in environments where:

• There is risk of tear gas/riot control agents (CN, CS) or chemical irritants (phosphine, etc.).

• There is also a presence of particulate hazards (dust, aerosols, fine mist).

• The user requires full-face protection (i.e. protection for both respiratory tract and eyes/face) rather than just half-face masks.

• Industries or scenarios such as fumigation, chemical spill cleanup, riot control, industrial maintenance in hazardous atmospheres may use such cartridges.
