Product Overview
The ABEK2P3 Combination Filter is a sophisticated respiratory solution designed for professionals who require high-level protection in volatile environments. This filter is engineered to provide a comprehensive barrier against both gaseous hazards and airborne particles, ensuring that users can operate safely in the presence of complex chemical mixtures. By integrating multiple layers of protection into a single, reliable unit, it simplifies the task of selecting appropriate personal protective equipment for challenging industrial tasks.
Key Features
- Standard DIN Threaded Connection: Conforming to the EN 148-1 standard, this universal thread ensures the filter is compatible with a wide range of full-face masks, providing a secure and airtight seal for maximum safety.
- Class 2 Gas Protection: This rating indicates a medium-capacity filter capable of shielding the user from organic and inorganic acid gases, vapours, sulphur dioxide, and ammonia, alongside its various derivatives.
- Class 3 Particle Filtration: As a class 3 filter for particles, it offers the highest level of protection against harmful substances, including toxic particles, solvents, and micro-organisms.
- Durable ABS Construction: The housing is manufactured from robust ABS material, ensuring the internal filtration components remain protected even in demanding work environments.
Design & Performance
The design of the ABEK2P3 filter focuses on balancing broad-spectrum protection with manageable physical dimensions. Despite its substantial protective capabilities, the filter is designed to remain balanced when attached to a compatible full-face mask. The use of high-grade ABS for the casing provides excellent impact resistance, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the filtration media during active duty. Performance is governed by strict adherence to international safety standards, ensuring that whether you are dealing with ammonia vapours or toxic dust, the filter performs with the reliability that professional tradespeople demand.
Why No Customisation?
This product is a critical piece of respiratory protective equipment and is therefore sold without customisation. Applying embroidery, printing, or adhesive labels to a safety filter could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the ABS housing or obscure vital safety markings and expiration dates. To ensure your safety remains uncompromised and the product remains compliant with EN standards, we provide these filters in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
These filters are specifically intended for use in environments where there is a risk of exposure to a variety of chemical gases and hazardous particulates. They are frequently utilised in chemical processing, industrial cleaning involving heavy-duty solvents, and waste management sectors. They are also an essential choice for those working in environments where micro-organisms or toxic dust are a known risk factor, requiring the high-efficiency filtration provided by a class 3 particle rating.

Practical Advice
Before deployment, it is vital to ensure that your full-face mask features a standard DIN threaded connection (EN 148-1) to guarantee compatibility. We recommend conducting a thorough fit test of your mask with the filter attached to ensure a perfect seal. It is also wise to maintain a log of usage times, as filters have a limited service life once exposed to contaminants. Always ensure you have sufficient stock for your team, as these filters are supplied in a convenient pack of four.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your filters, proper storage is essential. When not in use, filters should be kept in a cool, dry environment, ideally within their original sealed packaging. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures can degrade the filtration media, potentially reducing its effectiveness against hazardous gases.
Inspect the filters regularly for any signs of physical damage to the ABS housing or the threaded connection. If a filter has been dropped or shows signs of cracking, it must be disposed of immediately and replaced. A damaged housing can lead to air bypassing the filtration media, which poses a significant safety risk to the user.
Please note that these filters are consumable items and cannot be cleaned or refurbished. Once the filter has reached its capacity—often indicated by an increase in breathing resistance or the detection of odours—it must be replaced following your site's specific disposal procedures for hazardous waste.
