The RD40 filter 10097232 from MSA is a respiratory protection cartridge designed for use with full-face or compatible half masks equipped with the standard RD40 (40 mm EN 148-1 threaded connection).

It is intended to protect users from specific atmospheric contaminants such as gases, vapours and/or particulate matter depending on the filter classification.

This type of filter is widely used in industrial environments where air quality cannot be guaranteed and respiratory protection is essential for operational safety.

Key features:

• Compatible with RD40 (EN 148-1) threaded respirator systems
• Designed for use with MSA full-face and compatible respiratory masks
• Low breathing resistance for improved wearer comfort
• Compact design to maintain a wide field of vision
• Robust housing suitable for demanding industrial environments
• Reliable filtration performance depending on assigned protection class
• Easy and secure screw-on installation system

Protection:

• A2: Organic gases and vapours with boiling point > 65°C
• B2: Inorganic gases and vapours
• E2: Acid gases (e.g. sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride)
• K2: Ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives
• Hg: Mercury vapour protection
• P3: High-efficiency protection against solid and liquid particles (dust, mist, fumes)

Standards:

• EN 148-1 (RD40 threaded connection standard)
• EN 143 (particle filters, where applicable)
• EN 14387 (gas and combined filters, depending on configuration)
• CE certified respiratory protective equipment (RPE) compliance
• Designed in accordance with EU PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425
• Plex Tech filtration technology for enhanced performance and reliability
  

Applications:

• Industrial maintenance and servicing operations
