Moldex 7307 Respirator Cartridge Overview
The Moldex 7307 is a NIOSH-approved organic vapor and acid gas cartridge for the Moldex bayonet system. It adsorbs solvent vapors plus chlorine, hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide and carries a yellow (ov/acid gas) band, using Moldex's semi-rectangular design, which adds filter surface area for lower breathing resistance and better comfort. Start with our guide to choosing a respirator cartridge, confirm the band on the respirator cartridge color chart, and see the Moldex cartridge upgrade guide.
The Moldex 7307 cartridge belongs to the Moldex respirator cartridges and filters range and fits Moldex 7000 and 7800 series half-mask respirators and 9000 series full-face respirators. It is a gas cartridge only β for dust, add a 7740 P100 filter or use the 7367.
Where the Moldex 7307 Fits in Cartridge Selection
Confirm the hazard before the cartridge. The Moldex 7307 handles organic vapor and acid gas gas, not particulate. If you also face dust or mist, our organic vapor vs P100 guide and filter types explained cover when to move to a combination cartridge.
Traditional vs Semi-Rectangular
Moldex makes this protection in two shapes. The semi-rectangular 7307 is the lower-resistance semi-rectangular cartridge with extra surface area. Both carry the same NIOSH approval; see the Moldex 7000 series guide.
Who Should Buy the Moldex 7307?
Buy it if your exposure is organic vapor and acid gas on a Moldex 7000/7800/9000 facepiece. Choose another cartridge if your hazard differs: for organic vapor and acid gas plus dust use the 7367, and for a broader gas mix see the Moldex 7607 multi-gas SMART cartridge.
What Does the Moldex 7307 Protect Against?
| Hazard | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Organic Vapor And Acid Gas (solvent vapors plus chlorine, hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide) | Yes | The sorbent bed. |
| Dust, mist, fume (particulate) | No | Add a 7740 P100 filter or use the 7367 combo. |
| Ammonia Or Particulate | No | Use the matching Moldex cartridge for that hazard. |
What the Moldex 7307 Does NOT Protect Against
The Moldex 7307 does not capture particulate or ammonia or particulate. For dust, add a 7740 P100 filter; for a different gas, match the Moldex cartridge to the hazard.
No air-purifying cartridge makes a dangerous atmosphere safe. Never use the Moldex 7307 in an oxygen-deficient or IDLH (immediately dangerous to life or health) atmosphere, in unknown concentrations, or against gases with no warning properties β those conditions require a supplied-air or SCBA system, not a cartridge respirator.
Best Applications
Chemical handling
Solvents and acid gases; the semi-rectangular shape lowers breathing resistance.
Refinishing
Vapor and acid gas; for dust use the 7367 combo.
Pros & Cons
