Common Questions About Honeywell Filters & Cartridges

How do I know which cartridge I need for my specific project?

Cartridges are color-coded based on the hazards they filter. For example, Black cartridges are for Organic Vapors (like solvents or paints), Yellow is for Acid Gases, and Olive/Magenta "Multi-Contaminant" cartridges provide a broad range of protection against multiple gases and vapors. Always check the product description to ensure the cartridge is rated for the specific chemicals or fumes you will be encountering.

What is the difference between a "Cartridge" and a "Filter"?

Cartridges contain treated charcoal or chemical sorbents designed to neutralize gases and vapors. Filters (like the P100 "pancake" filters) are designed to trap solid and liquid particulates, such as dust, soot, or lead. If you are working in an environment with both, such as spray painting, which involves both vapors and fine mists, you should use a Combination Cartridge or a filter/cartridge stack.

Are Honeywell filters compatible with other brands of respirators?

Honeywell filters and cartridges are designed with specific connection points, such as the threaded "N-Series" or "S-Series" connections. To ensure a safe, airtight seal, they should only be used with compatible Honeywell North or Honeywell reusable respirator facepieces. Using mismatched brands can lead to improper fit and significantly compromise your respiratory protection.
