GVS Elipse OVAG P100 Replacement Filters — Both S/M & M/L, 1 Pair
The GVS Elipse OVAG P100 is a third-generation multi-gas and dust replacement filter for GVS Elipse and Integra Low Profile OVAG P100 half-face respirators. Built on two GVS-patented technologies — "Encapsulation" of the HESPA filter media enabling a curved low-profile form factor, and graduated carbon that extends gas molecule adsorption path length through more adsorbent material — the result is a filter GVS states is 30% smaller in size and weight than conventional filters while delivering higher gas performance than standard carbon layer designs. Recommended for multi-gas and dust environments including all types of organic gases, inorganic gases, formaldehyde, chemical gases, and particulate dust. Note: ammonia is specifically excluded from the recommended application list — for ammonia environments, a cartridge with explicit ammonia NIOSH approval is required. Universal fit covers both Small/Medium and Medium/Large Elipse and Integra Low Profile facepieces. Sold as 1 pair (2 filters). Browse the full respirator filters and cartridges catalog at WC Safety.
Vendor: GVS | Model: OVAG P100 | ASIN: B0GGHVFRR2 | EAN: 5060233805051 | Pack: 1 Pair (2 filters)
Protection Profile
| Hazard Class | OVAG P100 Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Organic gases and vapors (OV) | Recommended | Solvents, paints, adhesives, fuel vapors, chemical processing vapors |
| Inorganic gases | Recommended | Broad inorganic gas coverage — see manufacturer specs for specific substances and concentrations |
| Formaldehyde | Recommended | Healthcare, laboratory, wood products, embalming, resin manufacturing |
| Chemical gases (general) | Recommended | Chemical production and handling environments — verify specific substances with GVS |
| P100 particulate and dust | P100 — 99.97% efficiency, oil-proof | Dust, fume, mist — all solid and liquid aerosols including oil-based |
| Ammonia (NH3) | Excluded — not recommended | GVS explicitly excludes ammonia from the OVAG P100 application scope — use a cartridge with ammonia NIOSH approval |
GVS recommends this filter for chemical production and handling environments with multi-gas and dust risks. For compliance programs, confirm the specific substance and concentration against GVS's published filter specification and applicable NIOSH approval data. The APF is determined by the facepiece: APF 10 for a half-face respirator, APF 50 for a full-face respirator.
Patented Third-Generation Filter Technologies
| Encapsulation of HESPA Filter Media | GVS's patented Encapsulation technology encases the HESPA (High-Efficiency Sub-micron Particulate Air) filter media in a curved, low-profile form factor while optimizing pleated dust filter resistance. This enables the OVAG P100 to maintain the Elipse platform's signature low-profile swept-back geometry — minimizing forward projection and improving field of view — without sacrificing filter media surface area or efficiency. The curved pleated design also distributes airflow more evenly across the media than flat panel alternatives, contributing to the stated lower breathing resistance. |
| Graduated Carbon Adsorption Layer | The graduated carbon design extends the path length that gas molecules travel through the activated carbon adsorbent, allowing more contact time between the gas molecule and the carbon surface. Standard flat carbon layer designs have a fixed path length that limits the quantity of adsorbent a gas molecule passes through. GVS's graduated approach maximizes gas performance compared to conventional filter elements — particularly relevant for heavier molecular weight organic vapors and chemical gases where carbon path length is a significant factor in adsorption effectiveness. |
| 30% Smaller and Lighter | GVS states the OVAG P100 is 30% smaller in size and weight compared to average filters in its performance class. In a half-face respirator context, smaller, lighter filter cartridges reduce the rotational moment on the facepiece during physical work, decreasing seal fatigue over long shift durations. The reduced bulk also improves compatibility with safety glasses, face shields, and welding visors by reducing the lateral protrusion that can conflict with other PPE components. |
Compatible Facepieces
| Facepiece Series | Sizes |
|---|---|
| GVS Elipse Low Profile OVAG P100 | Small/Medium and Medium/Large |
| GVS Integra Low Profile OVAG P100 | Small/Medium and Medium/Large |
Confirm facepiece model compatibility against GVS's published documentation before use in a compliance program. OSHA 1910.134 requires manufacturer-confirmed facepiece and filter system compatibility. Not compatible with GVS Elipse SPR321 or SPR656/657 series — those facepieces use different filter connections.
GVS Elipse Filter Comparison
| Model | Protection | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| OVAG P100 (this product) | OV, inorganic gases, formaldehyde, chemical gases + P100 (excl. NH3) | Chemical production, multi-gas industrial, formaldehyde environments |
| SPR658 OV/P100 | OV + P100 (NIOSH TC-84A-9377) | Painting, solvents, pesticides, automotive, shipyard (Elipse SPR656/657 facepiece) |
| SPR450 P100 | P100 + nuisance odor | Woodworking, sanding, construction dust where vapor compliance is not required |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is ammonia excluded from the OVAG P100 application list?
GVS explicitly states the OVAG P100 is recommended for multi-gas and dust risks excluding ammonia. Ammonia is a challenging gas for activated carbon adsorption — its low molecular weight and polarity require specialized adsorbents (often impregnated carbon or specific formulations) that standard activated carbon handles less effectively than heavier organic molecules. For ammonia environments, use a cartridge with explicit ammonia NIOSH approval (e.g., a multi-gas cartridge that lists NH3 in its NIOSH approval). Browse the respirator filters and cartridges collection for multi-gas options with NH3 coverage.
What does "graduated carbon" mean compared to a standard carbon layer?
A standard flat carbon layer presents a fixed bed depth that gas molecules pass through uniformly. GVS's graduated carbon design varies the carbon bed structure to extend the effective path length that gas molecules travel through adsorbent material — increasing contact time and the total volume of carbon each molecule encounters. This is analogous to comparing a shallow pool to a longer channel: the channel provides more opportunity for the gas to adsorb. GVS states this maximizes gas performance relative to conventional filter elements of similar size and weight. For users in chemical environments where gas breakthrough is a compliance-critical concern, longer carbon path length is a meaningful engineering difference.
Is the OVAG P100 the same as the SPR658 OV/P100?
No — they are different GVS filter products for different facepiece lines. The SPR658 is for the Elipse SPR656/657 and Integra SPR659/660 facepieces, carries NIOSH approval TC-84A-9377 for OV + P100, and is recommended for painting, solvents, and pesticides. The OVAG P100 (this product) is for the Elipse OVAG P100 and Integra OVAG P100 facepiece series, uses GVS's third-generation patented filter design, and covers a broader multi-gas range (OV, inorganic, formaldehyde, chemical gases, excl. ammonia). The facepiece connection types differ — confirm your facepiece model before ordering.
Does the OVAG P100 fit both S/M and M/L Elipse sizes?
Yes — one OVAG P100 filter pair fits both Small/Medium and Medium/Large versions of the compatible GVS Elipse OVAG P100 and Integra OVAG P100 facepieces. Verify your facepiece model is in the compatible list before purchasing — the OVAG P100 filter does not fit the Elipse SPR321, SPR656, or SPR657 facepieces which use different filter connections.
How does a change-out schedule apply to the OVAG P100?
OSHA 1910.134(d)(3)(iii) requires gas/vapor cartridges without an ESLI to be replaced on a documented schedule before end of service life. Establish a change-out schedule using GVS's service life guidance for the OVAG P100, incorporating site-specific contaminant concentration, temperature, humidity, and breathing rate data for each substance present. The P100 particulate component has no time-based service life — replace when breathing resistance increases or damage occurs. Document the schedule in your written respiratory protection program. Browse respirator filters and cartridges for replacement pairs.

terrible flowerily smell
When I got the box was not seal and the filters were not even in a sealed bag. When I received them they had a terrible flowerily smell!
