Product Overview
The ABEK1P3 Combination Filter is a vital component for those operating in hazardous environments where respiratory safety is non-negotiable. This pack of four filters provides comprehensive protection by combining gas and particulate filtration into a single, efficient unit. Designed specifically for use with the P410 Half Mask, these filters address a broad spectrum of airborne threats, from chemical vapours to biological micro-organisms.
Key Features
- Multipurpose ABEK1 Filtration: These filters are designed to protect against organic and inorganic acid gases, vapours, sulphur dioxide, and ammonia, providing versatile safety across various industrial applications.
- High-Efficiency P3 Particulate Protection: Classified as a Class 3 filter for particles, it offers significant defence against toxic dusts, aerosols, and micro-organisms, ensuring cleaner air intake in contaminated zones.
- Special Thread Connection: The unique threading ensures a secure, airtight fit when used in pairs, preventing accidental dislodgement during active movement.
- Pack of Four: Supplied as a set of four to ensure you have the necessary replacements on hand, maintaining consistent safety standards for your team.
Design & Performance
Constructed from robust ABS material, these filters are built to withstand the rigours of a busy workplace. The technical design balances high-level filtration with manageable breathing resistance, which is essential for comfort during extended shifts. As a Class 1 filter for gases and a Class 3 for particles, the performance is specifically engineered to handle solvents, hydrocarbons, and fine particulates with reliability.
The filters are designed for pair use, which distributes the weight evenly across the P410 Half Mask, reducing neck strain and improving the overall balance of the respiratory system. The lightweight nature of the ABS housing ensures that the added protection does not become a hindrance to productivity.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on these filters for critical safety reasons. These items are strictly regulated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification, such as printing or labelling, could potentially interfere with the material integrity or obscure essential safety markings and expiry dates. To ensure your respiratory protection remains fully compliant and functional, we provide these in their original, unadulterated state.
Use Cases
These filters are ideal for professionals working in chemical processing, industrial cleaning, and agriculture, specifically where ammonia or acid gases are present. They are also highly suitable for environments involving hazardous dusts or potential exposure to toxic micro-organisms, providing an essential barrier for the respiratory system.

Practical Advice
It is crucial to remember that these filters are designed exclusively for the P410 Half Mask. Before use, always ensure the thread is correctly aligned and tightened to create a perfect seal. We recommend inspecting the filters for any signs of damage before every shift. If you detect the scent or taste of a contaminant, or if breathing resistance increases significantly, the filters should be replaced immediately.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of your filters, they must be stored correctly when not in use. We recommend keeping them in a cool, dry place, ideally within a sealed container. Exposure to moisture or high humidity can degrade the filtration media, specifically the activated carbon used for gas protection, reducing its effective lifespan.
Avoid exposing the filter housing to harsh chemicals or solvents when cleaning the mask itself, as this can weaken the ABS structure. Simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Proper storage ensures that the filters remain ready for use and provide the high level of protection you expect when entering a hazardous zone.
