The SPR486 fits both Small\/Medium and Medium\/Large Elipse facepiece sizes at $32.47 per pair, and is the combination particulate-plus-multigas specification for Elipse users whose environments present simultaneous high-hazard particulate and broad-spectrum chemical vapor hazards. For the complete filter and cartridge selection, see the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/respirator-filters-and-cartridges\"\u003erespirator filters and cartridges collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Filtration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SPR486 combines P100 electrostatically charged particulate filter media with the multigas chemical sorbent used in GVS's Elipse Integra filter line. The P100 layer achieves 99.97% minimum efficiency against oil and non-oil-based aerosols, satisfying the highest NIOSH particulate filter class and the OSHA P100 mandate for lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, and MDA regulated-carcinogen environments. The multigas sorbent provides chemical vapor protection across multiple gas classes within GVS's NIOSH approval scope — broader coverage than a standard single-category OV cartridge. The specific compounds covered must be verified against the site chemical inventory using GVS's NIOSH approval documentation before deployment. Both protection layers are integrated into the low-profile Elipse cartridge body, maintaining the respirator's safety glasses and over-mask equipment compatibility. The SPR486 fits both S\/M and M\/L Elipse facepiece sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance and Ratings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GVS SPR486 is NIOSH-approved under 42 CFR Part 84 for P100 particulate filtration and the multigas chemical classes within its approval scope. The P100 component meets OSHA's P100 requirement for regulated carcinogens under the applicable substance-specific standards. The multigas chemical sorbent service life must be established from GVS's published service life data — chemical sorbent reaches breakthrough before P100 media saturates, making the chemical change-out schedule the governing replacement interval. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 fit testing, medical evaluation, and written respiratory protection program requirements apply. The SPR486 is compatible only with GVS Elipse respirators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Assessment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SPR486 adds the P100 particulate layer to the multigas chemical protection of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/respirator-filters-and-cartridges\"\u003eSPR483\u003c\/a\u003e for environments where both hazard classes are simultaneously present. At $32.47 versus the SPR483's $26.05, the $6.42 per pair premium for P100 is warranted only when particulate exposure is confirmed by air monitoring — in chemical-vapor-only environments the SPR483 provides equivalent protection at lower cost and breathing resistance. The SPR486 sits near the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/respirator-filters-and-cartridges\"\u003eSPR468\u003c\/a\u003e (OV\/P100, $31.57) in price; the selection between them depends on whether the chemical hazard is OV-specific (SPR468) or requires the broader multigas compound coverage class (SPR486).
