Moldex 7107 Respirator Cartridge Overview

The Moldex 7107 is a NIOSH-approved organic vapor cartridge for the Moldex bayonet system. It adsorbs solvents, paints, degreasers and many hydrocarbon vapors and carries a black (organic vapor) 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 7107 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.

Where the Moldex 7107 Fits in Cartridge Selection

Confirm the hazard before the cartridge. The Moldex 7107 handles organic vapor 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 7107 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 7107?

Buy it if your exposure is organic vapor on a Moldex 7000/7800/9000 facepiece. Choose another cartridge if your hazard differs: for organic vapor plus dust add a 7740 P100 filter, and for a broader gas mix see the Moldex 7607 multi-gas SMART cartridge.

What Does the Moldex 7107 Protect Against?

What the Moldex 7107 Does NOT Protect Against

The Moldex 7107 does not capture particulate or acid gas, 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 7107 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. A cartridge or filter carries no assigned protection factor of its own — the APF comes from the facepiece it is fitted to: 10 for a half mask, 50 for a full facepiece (OSHA 1910.134 Table 1), which is the number that decides the highest exposure the respirator may legally be worn in. That facepiece must be fit tested before first use and at least annually, and a fit test is specific to one make, model, and size — passing on one mask does not carry over to another. Perform a user seal check every time the respirator is donned, and note that facial hair crossing the sealing surface disqualifies a tight-fitting respirator no matter how well it fit at the last test.

Best Applications

Painting & coatings

Solvent-based paints; the semi-rectangular shape eases breathing on long jobs.

Solvent handling

Degreasing and parts washing; add a 7740 P100 filter for dust.

Pros & Cons

Moldex 7107 vs Other Moldex Cartridges

Moldex 7107 vs the Alternatives

How it compares to the closest Moldex options:

• 7107 vs 7100: same organic-vapor protection; the 7107 is the semi-rectangular design with more surface area and lower breathing resistance.
• 7107 vs 7307: the 7307 adds acid-gas protection.
• 7107 vs 7740: add the 7740 P100 filter for particulate; the 7107 is gas-only.

Moldex 7107 Quick Answers

Does the Moldex 7107 filter dust?

No — it is gas-only; add a 7740 P100 filter for particulate.

Does the Moldex 7107 fit Moldex 7000 and 9000 respirators?

Yes — it fits the 7000 series half-mask and 9000 series full-face (and 7800 series).

The cartridge is used until its service life is reached; the respirator is reusable across many cartridge changes.

Moldex 7107 Specifications

Compatible Moldex Respirators

The Moldex 7107 uses the Moldex bayonet connection, so it mounts on the Moldex 7000 series half-mask (and 7800 series) and the Moldex 9000 series full-face respirators. It does not fit 3M, Honeywell North or MSA facepieces.

Moldex 7107 Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Moldex 7107 protect against?

The 7107 is a organic vapor cartridge. It adsorbs solvents, paints, degreasers and many hydrocarbon vapors. It is gas-only and does not filter particulate; it does not protect against acid gas, ammonia or particulate.

Does the Moldex 7107 filter dust?

No. It is a gas cartridge. For dust or mist, pair it with a Moldex 7740 P100 filter.

Which respirators does the Moldex 7107 fit?

It uses the Moldex bayonet connection and fits Moldex 7000 and 7800 series half-mask respirators and 9000 series full-face respirators. It does not fit 3M, Honeywell North or MSA facepieces.

Is the Moldex 7107 the semi-rectangular design?

Yes — the 7107 uses Moldex's semi-rectangular shape for more surface area and lower breathing resistance.

What color band is the Moldex 7107?

The 7107 carries a black (organic vapor) band; confirm it on the cartridge color chart before use.

Is the Moldex 7107 NIOSH-approved?

Yes. The 7107 is NIOSH-approved under 42 CFR Part 84 for organic vapor. Verify any cartridge against the NIOSH Certified Equipment List.

How often should I replace the Moldex 7107?

Replace it on a documented change-out schedule based on objective data, or when it is damaged. Under 29 CFR 1910.134(d)(3)(iii)(B) odour or taste may not be the primary basis for service life — if you can smell or taste anything through the cartridge, breakthrough has already happened, so leave the area immediately and change it.

How should I store the Moldex 7107?

Store it sealed in its original packaging, away from gases and dust, so the sorbent is not used up before you wear it.
