3M Secure Click D80923 OV/AG P100 Cartridge Overview
The 3M Secure Click D80923 OV/AG P100 Cartridge is a NIOSH-approved combination cartridge and filter that protects against certain organic vapors, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide, plus at least 99.97% of oil and non-oil particulates through its built-in P100 filter.
As the 3M D80923, this Secure Click D80923 is an OV AG P100 combination cartridge and a 3M HF-800 cartridge β a dual-flow Secure Click organic vapor acid gas cartridge.
It uses the Secure Click click-on connection and fits the HF-800 half and FF-800 full facepieces only, not the 3M 6000-series bayonet. It does not cover ammonia, methylamine, or formaldehyde; the D80926 multi-gas does. Compare in D80921 vs D80923 and the Secure Click guide.
What It Protects Against
| Hazard | Covered | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Organic vapors | Yes | Certain OV; check your SDS. |
| Acid gases (CL, HCl, SO2) | Yes | Plus ClO2 and H2S on 3M's list. |
| Particulates | Yes | P100, 99.97%, oil-proof. |
| Ammonia, methylamine, formaldehyde | No | Use the D80926 multi-gas. |
| Sandblasting / IDLH | No | Needs supplied air. |
This cartridge protects within limits. It removes only the gases it is rated for and adds no oxygen, so it does not cover ammonia, methylamine, or formaldehyde, it is not for sandblasting, and no air-purifying respirator may be used in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere or one that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) β those require a supplied-air respirator or a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and, for confined spaces, entry procedures. It has no end-of-service-life indicator, so follow a written change schedule; 3M advises replacing it after 40 hours or 30 days in oil-aerosol-only environments, and sooner in harder conditions. It works only on a fit-tested, clean-shaven seal on a Secure Click HF-800 or FF-800 facepiece within an OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 program, used in matched pairs, and you must match the media to your safety data sheets.

How It Compares
The D80923 is one of several Secure Click cartridges. Weigh it against nearby options:
| Option | Covers | Platform | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secure Click D80923 (this page) | OV/AG/P100 | HF-800 / FF-800 | Organic vapor + acid gas |
| Secure Click D80921 | OV/P100 | HF-800 / FF-800 | Organic vapor only |
| Secure Click D80926 | Multi-gas/P100 | HF-800 / FF-800 | Ammonia, formaldehyde |
Choose the 3M Secure Click D80923 OV/AG P100 Cartridge for OV and acid gases, the D80921 for organic vapor only, or the D80926 for a wider gas range. Compare in D80923 vs D80926.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do OV and AG mean on the D80923?
OV is organic vapor and AG is acid gas. The D80923 covers certain organic vapors plus acid gases including chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide, with chlorine dioxide and hydrogen sulfide on 3M's list. Match the exact chemicals to your safety data sheets.
Does the D80923 cover ammonia, methylamine, or formaldehyde?
No. The D80923 is an organic-vapor and acid-gas cartridge; it does not cover ammonia, methylamine, or formaldehyde. For those, choose the Secure Click D80926 multi-gas cartridge instead, and always match the media to the specific gases present.
What is the dual-flow design?
The Secure Click filter and cartridge combo is dual-flow, which spreads airflow across the media to lower breathing resistance and improve comfort over a shift. It is one of the comfort advantages of the Secure Click platform over older single-path designs.
Is the D80923 sold as a single cartridge or a pair?
It is used and sold as a pair, one cartridge on each side of a Secure Click facepiece. Change both together as a matched pair; running a single cartridge or a mismatched pair is not an approved configuration and compromises protection.
Can I use the D80923 for sandblasting?
No. 3M states the D80923 is not for sandblasting. Abrasive blasting requires a supplied-air, abrasive-blasting respirator designed for that hazard, not an air-purifying cartridge. Use the right class of respirator for blasting operations.
Can the D80923 be used in an oxygen-deficient or confined space?
No. A cartridge removes only specific gases and adds no oxygen. A confined space or a low-oxygen or immediately hazardous atmosphere needs a supplied-air system or self-contained breathing apparatus, plus confined-space entry procedures, not an air-purifying cartridge.
How do I attach and remove a Secure Click cartridge?
The Secure Click connection uses a quick, drop-down click-on motion with an audible click to confirm it is seated, and a release to remove it. Confirm both cartridges click fully into place and inspect the seal before each use.
Does temperature or humidity affect the cartridge?
Yes. Heat and humidity can shorten the service life of a gas or vapor cartridge, and some chemicals break through faster in those conditions. Follow 3M's guidance and your written change schedule rather than relying on odor to tell you it is spent.
Does the D80923 have an end-of-service-life indicator?
No, it does not have an end-of-service-life indicator, so you must follow a written change schedule based on your exposure. In oil-aerosol-only environments, 3M says to replace it after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever comes first.
How should I store the cartridges?
Keep unopened cartridges sealed in a clean, dry place within their rated temperature range, and do not use one past its shelf life. Once opened or in use, a cartridge begins to load, so note when it goes into service and track the change schedule.
What industries and tasks use the D80923?
It suits mixed organic-vapor and acid-gas work with particulates, such as chemical processing, coating, and maintenance in mixed-contaminant areas, on a Secure Click facepiece. Confirm your specific gases fall within its rated classes before relying on it.
Do Secure Click cartridges fit 3M bayonet respirators or other brands?
No. The D80923 fits only 3M Secure Click HF-800 and FF-800 facepieces. It does not fit the 3M 6000-series bayonet or other brands, because the connection and NIOSH approval are specific to the Secure Click assembly.
