The 3M 6001 is an organic vapor-only cartridge with no P100 particulate protection. The 3M 6003 adds acid gas coverage for OV plus organic acid environments. Neither cartridge includes a P100 filter - pair with 3M 2091 prefilters for combined particulate protection.

The 3M 60921 is the entry organic-vapor + P100 cartridge; the 60926 is the broadest multi-gas + P100 cartridge on the same bayonet mount. This guide shows which gases the 60926 adds, what each costs, and when stepping up is required versus over-spending.

The 3M 60921, 60923, and 60926 are the three core P100 combination cartridges on the 3M bayonet mount. This guide compares exactly which gases each covers, how they are priced, which respirators they fit, and how to pick the right level of protection from your hazard assessment.

3M Organic Vapor Cartridges: For most industrial environments where organic vapors and particulates are both present, the 3M 60921 (OV + P100 combination cartridge) is the right default. It covers solvents, fuels, and coating vapors while the integrated P100 filters dust, mist, and aerosol.
