Moldex 7600 Respirator Cartridge Overview

The Moldex 7600 is a NIOSH-approved multi-gas cartridge for the Moldex bayonet system. It adsorbs organic vapor, acid gas, ammonia, methylamine and formaldehyde and carries a olive (multi-gas) band, using the traditional Moldex cartridge design. It is a Moldex SMART cartridge with a color-changing end-of-service-life indicator (ESLI) that shows when to change out. 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 7600 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 — for dust, add a 7740 P100 filter or use the 7667.

Where the Moldex 7600 Fits in Cartridge Selection

Confirm the hazard before the cartridge. The Moldex 7600 handles multi-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 traditional 7600 is the traditional cartridge; the semi-rectangular 7607 adds surface area for easier breathing. Both carry the same NIOSH approval; see the Moldex 7000 series guide.

Who Should Buy the Moldex 7600?

Buy it if your exposure is multi-gas on a Moldex 7000/7800/9000 facepiece. Choose another cartridge if your hazard differs: for multi-gas plus dust use the 7667, and for a broader gas mix see the Moldex 7607 multi-gas SMART cartridge.

What Does the Moldex 7600 Protect Against?

What the Moldex 7600 Does NOT Protect Against

The Moldex 7600 does not capture particulate or gases outside its approved list. 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 7600 in an oxygen-deficient or IDLH (immediately dangerous to life or health) atmosphere, in unknown concentrations, or against gases with no warning properties — those conditions require a supplied-air or SCBA system, not a cartridge respirator.

Best Applications

Maintenance & response

Mixed or unknown gases on Moldex respirators; the SMART indicator helps time change-out. See 7600 SMART vs 3M 6006.

No — the 7600 is the traditional design; the 7607 is the semi-rectangular version with lower breathing resistance.

What color band is the Moldex 7600?

The 7600 carries a olive (multi-gas) band; confirm it on the cartridge color chart before use.

Is the Moldex 7600 NIOSH-approved?
